Being the jet-setter that I am, I always look forward for the time of the year when I have to leave home and travel to a foreign place to spark up my otherwise boring daily routine. This year I'm planning to fly to Tallin, one of the
beautiful cities of Estonia. For many of you who may have heard Estonia for the first time (and Tallin as well), here is a brief description of the country.
Estonia is found in the Baltic region and known for its 1,000 magnificent islands. Because of it's sheer land mass, many point out that it's a small country when it's not. Estonia is even larger than Belgium, Denmark, and Holland. But despite that fact, Estonians are proud of their heritage. It's a member nation of EU but it still has it's own identity apart from the
other member countries.
Tallin showcases both the old and the modern. Cobble-stoned streets are a commonplace, and so are the numerous museums that give the city dwellers a place to reminisce their past. It's no wonder Tallin is considered one of the largest and best preserved
old cities in Europe. A good starting point to journey through Tallin's history is the Town Hall Square which is 800 years old. Also, the 700-year-old street of Rataskaevu, the oldest in Tallin, blows you into nostalgia. There's a lot more to do in Tallin than just sightseeing. Tallin, here I come!
