Tallinn's claim to fame is that it is the "best preserved medieval city in the world..."

Having recently enjoyed three outstandingly good days there (I think they had summer while we were there...) we concur!

If anybody is looking for a city-break recommendation, then Tallinn comes high on the list..

I also posted some (stunning!) sunset shots over in Landscapes, which you can see here if anybody's interested...

Anyhow; here's a quick selection of what you might see;

1. City overview with the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, St. Nicholas' Church, Dome Church & National Opera House (foreground)...
