Tallinn

Estonia

"Medieval Old Town Meets Digital Nordic Capital"

Tallinn's UNESCO-listed Old Town feels like a storybook, with Gothic spires, merchant houses, and a 15th-century Town Hall Square. Climb Toompea Hill for rooftop views over red-tiled roofs to the Baltic Sea, and explore Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the medieval city walls. Outside the walls, the Kalamaja and Telliskivi districts have creative cafés and markets, and the Kadriorg Palace park and seaside Seaplane Harbour museum are standouts. Ferries link Tallinn with Helsinki in about two hours.

Town Hall Square, Toompea Hill viewpoints, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, city walls & towers, St. Olaf's Church tower, Kadriorg Palace, Telliskivi Creative City, Seaplane Harbour museum

May–September & December (Christmas market)

Wear sturdy shoes for cobblestones; climb a tower for the classic view; take the ferry for an easy Helsinki day

A favorite Baltic cruise port. Sell as a fairy-tale city that pairs easily with Helsinki and Stockholm.
