I paid a fleeting visit to Tallinn back in June 2011, where I spent just over 24 hours in the city as part of my some-what elaborate journey from St. Petersburg to Leipzig. The weather was definitely not on my side during my grey and wet visit, and though I’m not sure I’d count the city among my favourites, the old town is among the prettiest I’ve seen.
You can read a little more about my time in the Baltics here, but in the meantime, here are a few of my favourite shots of Tallinn’s beautiful old town.
