Tallinn Tales

When we think of a weekend break on the continent, it’s normally the likes of Paris and Amsterdam that spring to mind. But with an ever-growing array of European destinations available from UK airports, there are some great alternatives that are well worth considering.
One such hidden gem is the Estonian capital, Tallinn. Rapidly gaining a reputation as the ‘new Prague’, Tallinn is a city immersed in history and architectural beauty and, located on the Baltic coast just 30 miles from Helsinki, it is the embodiment of the phrase ‘East meets West’.
Travel to Tallinn, Estonia

Estonia is a lowland country situated in North Eastern Europe. It borders on the Baltic Sea, and the gulf of Finland in the north, Latvia to the south and Russia in the east. Estonia has a flat, unharmed landscape with more than one thousand lakes and has over seven thousand rivers and streams. Nearly half of its landscape is covered by woodland and forest.
For someone who enjoys skating or ice fishing, Estonia in the winter can be a great place to visit. Its winters can get very cold, but thanks to the North Atlantic Gulf Stream the summers remain quite mild. The best time to visit Estonia is during the months of May through to September, July usually being the warmest month of the year.
