Hotel Enthusiast » Spring Breaks » Tallinn City Guide Intro
Tallinn is a city of beautiful contrasts. Its historical core is an almost impossibly pretty, all cobble-stoned, castles and church spires with an eye-catching smorgasbord of medieval and baroque architecture.
On the other side it’s experiencing a revolution of new technology with one of the highest mobile phone penetration figures in the world with Internet cafes and wi-fi hot spots plentiful all over Tallinn. It’s not called E-stonia for nothing.
With the recently attained EU membership in 2004, Estonia has shaken off the manacles of the old Soviet bloc and is embracing change with vigor and high energy. Not only will you find a city that offers some of the best art and culture in Europe but if you’re looking for fun, then this is the place to have it in. If this is your thing, you can have unpretentious raucous fun all night while soothing your headache the next day with a relaxing sauna or by visiting some of the many orthodox churches and Dominican monasteries scattered throughout the Old Town.
This Tallinn city guide" will help you discover Tallinn for the first time and hopefully for many more. Make sure you print before you leave and enjoy your break!
