Tallinn

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia is situated on the Baltic Sea and is the cultural centre of the country. The most famous sights are the cobblestone old town surrounded by a city wall with numerous cafés and shops and the 15th century defence tower Kiek in de Kök. Tallinn's historic town hall square is dominated by the Gothic town hall with a 64-meter-high tower, which was built in the 13th century. The Nikolaikirche, a 13th-century landmark, displays ecclesiastical art.

Tallinn is best reached by ferry from Helsinki. The journey to the port of Helsinki is easy by train or bus. There you change to the ferries of Eckeröline, Viking Line or Tallink Silja. In a little more than 2 hours you can reach Tallinn and can walk directly from the port in a few minutes to the old town and spend a great day. In the evening you can take the ferry to Helsinki or stay overnight in Tallinn.

Tallinn is known and loved by students especially because of its easy accessibility, the beautiful Old Town and last but not least the moderate prices. Usually, even the student organizations organize a trip to Tallinn at night, which you can join for a certain fee. But of course, you can also plan your trip yourself and arrange it individually. Planning such a trip to Tallinn is not too difficult and guarantees a great time in Estonia.
