Living history

Tallinn, named Lonely Planet’s Best Value Destination of 2018, is an amazing blend of old and new. The world-famous  Old Town  was largely constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tallinn is a city with roots back in the Bronze Age– first settlements in Tallinn have been found to be built approximately 2500BC. Tallinn has been governed by Danes, Swedes, Russians and now Estonians. Its cityscape is as varied as its history– from stone and wooden houses dating back several hundred years to Soviet-era warrens and modern skyscrapers. In the heart of Tallinn lies the Old Town, which was first mentioned in 1154. To the southeast, the buzzing business center is located, and to the northwest lie the romantic wooden houses areas. So walking through Tallinn is like walking through several hundred years of history with a splash of modern life added in as well. Tallinn is home to over 50 museums and numerous art galleries. Most famous is probably KUMU Art Museum, located in Kadriorg. In KUMU,

visitors can get a quick overview of Estonian art, both traditional and modern. KUMU is located in Kadrioru Park, which is also home to the President of Estonia living at Kadriorg Palace. Kadriorg is considered to be one of the most beautiful parks in Estonia, originally built by Russian czar Peter I in 1718.

Hungry? Not a problem.

DINING OUT

Hungry? Not a problem. Finding an interesting, affordable place to eat in Tallinn is easy, especially given the culinary boom the city has seen in the last few years. The bigger challenge will be figuring out what kind of restaurant you are in the mood for: traditional Estonian, cutting edge fusion, African, Thai or maybe something with a medieval theme… the list goes on. Tallinn’s bigger pubs and cafes also offer full-fledged meals ranging from simple meat-and-potato dishes to elaborate salads and pastas. Most of the City’s restaurants are clustered in and around the Old Town, and nearly all have English menus and English-speaking staff.

Here are just a few examples of the restaurants in Tallinn from the culinary master book White Guide Nordic Global Master Level.
