Tallinn by Michael Turtle

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Old Town of Tallinn was not as touristy as I thought it might me. Certainly, around the main town hall square, there were the usual tourist restaurants and buskers (including one man dressed as a knight). But it didn't take much effort to walk away from there and find yourself in streets that were quiet but just as charming.

There are some museums to see but I found the thing I enjoyed the most was just walking through the streets and looking at the buildings - there are some really beautiful doors on some of them!

There were two things I particularly liked - walking along the old city wall (you get a great view of the city from there) and going just outside the walls on the northeastern border. You can see the fortifications really well (this is where the photo I've attached was taken).
