Some facts about Tallinn (Part 1)

How often do we feel that there is no pleasure of life and energy of the sun, a salty sea wind and silence of green pines? And what if the rhythms of the big city and everyday problems have absorbed you completely? Can it be necessary to change the situation considerably?  Wish to come to be in small silent small town, waking up in the morning listening to a peal of medieval churches, and watching red tile roofs and peaked spikes of Gothic cathedrals? Wish to feel magnetism of medieval city, to have a rest from vanity and noise of a huge mega city? Then you should go to Tallinn! Tallinn, a capital of Estonia, is small city, even to the European measures, and on the American scales it is simply small. The population of the city is less than 400 000 citizens. 

The airport is in 2 km from the center, sea passenger port is on a distance of the pedestrian walk from the Town hall square, and a strongly cut in the sizes in the sizes within the last decade railway station is under the fortification wall of the Old city.  You should always remember that the heart of Tallinn is in the Old city. It was perfectly kept and brought into the register of the World heritage of UNESCO. The old medieval city amazes with the fabulousness, labyrinths of narrow winding streets, cafes, and charming visitors with a spicy smell of coffee and appetizing fancy bread, the restaurants, offering to the visitors the masterpieces of national cuisine.
