Fly to Tallinn with the best airfare.
The medieval city of Tallinn was first put on the map in 1154, and today remains firmly marked as a favourite holiday destination on the Gulf of Finland. The main reason people choose to holiday in Tallinn is to roam its enchanting historic centre, atop the hill of Toompea, filled with medieval buildings and enticing cobbled alleyways. To complement the history, a holiday in Tallinn also offers alluring boutique shopping similar to that found in Swiss cities. The best time to travel to Tallinn is during April and May when the spring weather is pleasant and welcoming. The summer months, while they are the warmest, are also the wettest and in winter it is freezing with only a few hours of dismal daylight and snow clogging the streets. A holiday in Tallinn offers all the requirements for a great Baltic break, from historic sights to visit to a lively nightlife and great food. The city will therefore appeal to anyone who enjoys a relaxing getaway in an atmospheric setting. Tallinn, released just over a decade ago from the Soviet yoke, is certainly not stuck in the Dark Ages, however. While preserving its past the city is as forward-looking and thinking as any other modern European capital. This is probably best reflected in the interactive exhibits at the Tallinn Science and Technology Centre. |
