Actually, choosing Tallinn was a bit of an accident. I initially thought it was just a small town, but wow! It turned out to be incredibly photogenic, fun to explore, and so relaxing—completely exceeding my expectations! After planning out these two days, I feel Tallinn is perfect for a slow-paced, immersive experience. DAY 1 | A Medieval Dream The first day was entirely spent in the Old Town, which is absolutely stunning—like stepping into a fairytale! I walked around and took photos everywhere: • Tallinn Old Town (Vanalinn): City walls, spires, colorful houses... Every street is breathtakingly beautiful, and every snapshot looks like a postcard. • Town Hall Square: I sat down for a coffee at noon, watching people come and go in the square. It felt like a moment of frozen happiness. • Alexander Nevsky Cathedral: The exterior is awe-inspiring, and the interior has a solemn atmosphere. Stepping inside, you’re surrounded by a sense of history. • Toompea Viewing Platform: A must-visit! You can overlook the entire Old Town and even see the sea in the distance. I spent half an hour here just daydreaming. • Dinner at Restaurant Chedi: Delicious Chinese food in a great setting! The crispy Peking duck and vegetarian dish were amazing! 😋 DAY 2 | Artsy and Off-the-Beaten-Path On the second day, I wanted to experience local life and avoid the tourist crowds: • Kadriorg Park: The park is especially peaceful in the morning. The slow pace of life here is so calming—it’s a great place to unwind. • Estonian Art Museum: Bigger than I expected! I spent about 4 hours exploring it, learning about Estonian history through its art. Highly recommended! • Telliskivi Creative City: The biggest surprise in Tallinn! Full of unique shops, handmade markets, and street art. The vibe is amazing, and I had brunch at F-Hoone—definitely worth trying! Random Tips: • The Old Town streets are quite steep and cobblestoned, so avoid wearing high heels. • Prices are much cheaper than in Finland, so feel free to indulge in meals. • It’s super convenient to travel from Finland. If you’re planning to visit Finland, you can also take a ferry to Helsinki for a side trip!

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #postandearn Tallinn is like stepping into a storybook. Nestled on the northern coast of Estonia, this city beautifully blends medieval charm with modern vibrance. From the moment I entered the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I was enchanted by cobbled streets, Gothic spires, and pastel-hued buildings that feel frozen in time. I started at Toompea Hill, where the view over the red rooftops and the Baltic Sea took my breath away. From there, I wandered to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, its onion domes towering elegantly over the city. The hum of street musicians, the aroma of roasted almonds, and the distant sound of church bells made every corner feel alive with history and magic. Tallinn surprised me with its contrast: outside the medieval walls lies Telliskivi Creative City—a former industrial complex now transformed into a hipster haven of street art, local design shops, indie cafés, and galleries. The vibe is youthful and forward-thinking, yet rooted in culture. Evenings were magical. I dined on Estonian delicacies like elk stew and black bread at a candlelit tavern and later joined locals at a cozy bar in Kalamaja, Tallinn’s bohemian district. The warmth of the people in this northern gem was unforgettable. Best Time to Visit: May to September: Warm, lively, and ideal for exploring on foot. December: Tallinn’s Christmas Market is one of Europe’s most charming! Travel Tips: Visit the Kumu Art Museum for a deep dive into Estonian art. Wear comfortable shoes—Old Town’s stones are beautiful but uneven! Climb St. Olaf’s Church for the best panoramic views of the city.
