Tallin, Estonia

Now we're in Estonia to visit another UNESCO city: Tallinn. A charming city with upper and lower disctricts. We started our walking tour in the upper town to visit the impressive Toompea Castle, presently the seat of the Parliament, the Russian Orthodox Church of Alexander Nevsky and the Gothic Dome Church. There were lots of great overlooks and views onto the port and lower city with its gabled roofs. We descended to the Lower town to visit the town hall, the XV century Pharmacy, the Great Guild, the Blackheads Brotherhood House and numerous medieval merchants' homes. After a typical Estonian lunch we continued to “Rocca al Mare”, the Open Air Museum to explore authentic examples of the local XVIII and XIX century rural architecture. Photos galore...
