From the moment I stepped off the ferry at the port, I knew I was going to like Tallinn. It feels as if time has paused here for a while, and with every step fairytale scenes from the Middle Ages unfold. The cobblestone streets of the Old Town, the fortress walls, and the tall towers look like pages from a storybook brought straight into the present day. But don’t expect Tallinn to be only about the past — here medieval charm goes hand in hand with contemporary dynamism, cozy cafés, artistic neighborhoods, and a modern Baltic energy. The contrast between Gothic churches and the glass façades of modern buildings only highlights how harmoniously the old and the new can coexist.
