Situated by the Baltic Sea, Tallin is a medieval Estolian city that has been wonderfully preserved. Cruise ships passing through will often spend a day in Tallin, thanks to its friendly residents and old world atmosphere. The number of hotels and hostels in Tannin has really exploded in recent years, and Tallin even was placed first among the cities of the Baltic Sea, based on the number of overnight stays in its hotels.

The Danish King's Garden on Toompea Hill is the Danish flag's legendary birthplace.
The Botanical Garden covers 110 hectares and has more than 8,000 species of plants. The flora has been collected from all over the world and is displayed in thematic gardens, open fields, glasshouses and arboretums.
The Old Town is the historic centre of Tallin. With its winding and cobbled streets, it is a favourite spot for visitors and tourists alike. Much of this area dates back to the 11th century and is very well preserved thanks to its stone buildings. The pharmacy, situated next to the town hall, still occupies the same site that it has since 1422. There are also many churches in the Old Town. By the 16th century, the fortresses and walls of the town made up an impressive defence system.
