Tallinn Estonia – the capital located in the country’s north and over 400,000 people live here. It is known for its beautiful Old Town and being a tech hub, although it does not look like one. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name of the city in Estonian language means ”Danish city”. Why? During a medieval battle, a banner fell from the church tower, which later became the flag of Denmark. Medieval-style buildings and vibrant urban nature are some reasons why it is worth visiting. What do we love Tallinn for?

We love Tallinn, Estonia for its views. Easily accessible viewpoints allow one to take beautiful photos of the city from the high. Here are the addresses if you would like to go there: Patkuli Viewing Platform on Google Maps and Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform on Google maps. Is it possible to take nice photos without a nice, sunny weather?

As you can see, you have a chance of taking amazing photos even if the weather is not the best. During the photoshoot, we recommend you have a walk and see the city as it is. Where to go when you get hungry?

There is a nice affordable place for the pancakes fans. Pub Kompressor offers a large variety, from the sweet ones to the ones that include fish. You can find it here. Let us know in the comments what have you eaten and how it was if you decide to go there.
