A trip to Tallinn, located on the Baltic Sea just across from the Gulf of Finland, unveils a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was founded in the 13th century and is one of the best preserved old towns in northern Europe. The city's historical core is a magical world of narrow cobble-stoned streets, medieval architecture, gothic spires and red roofed properties that always leave a lasting impression on visitors. Former rulers of Estonia include Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Russia and their influence can be seen in the fusion of stunning architecture on display throughout the city. From imperial palaces to more contemporary Soviet-style buildings and there are many fascinating sights and attractions to explore.
Tallinn is made up of several different districts, but the main area where most visitors spend their time is in the Kesklinn, which encompasses the Port of Tallinn, the Old Town (Vanalinn) and the central business district. This compact area can easily be explored on foot or by tram or bus and contains many of Tallinn's sights.
