Best-preserved medieval old town in Northern Europe
Tallinn's Old Town is arguably Northern Europe's best-preserved medieval center, where 14th-century pink-roofed houses line stone-paved lanes and the city wall still encloses the ancient town. The cathedral spire dominates the skyline, and the sea views reveal this as a true Baltic port. The city is walkable, the atmosphere is half theme-park and half genuinely ancient, and the digital innovation (Estonia is an e-stonian startup nation) provides amusing contrast.
