Tallinn Estonia
Tallinn, Estonia – the capital located in the country’s north, and over 400,000 people live here. It is known for its beautiful Old Town and for being a tech hub, although it does not look like one. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name of the city in the Estonian language means ”Danish city”. Why? During a medieval battle, a banner fell from the church tower, which later became the flag of Denmark. Medieval-style buildings and vibrant urban nature are some reasons why it is worth visiting. What do we love Tallinn for?
