Welcome to Tallinn

Tallinn is situated on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland in north-western Estonia. It is well-known for its almost intact and UNESCO protected medieval Old Town that is situated side by side with modern architecture and green areas. The original cobblestone streets are dotted with medieval churches and grand merchant houses and warehouses some of which date back as far as the 11th century.
