Established in the early medieval era, today’s Tallinn has one of the best-preserved Hanseatic town centres in the world. The Old Town is so compact and packed with attractions that you can cover a lot in a few days and enjoy scenic strolls while at it.
A short walk from the Old Town is the city’s business centre with modern office buildings and luxurious hotels, trendy neighbourhoods and shopping centres.
