Tame Tallinn

After St Petersburg, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia is tame--low  key and understated.  Still bustling with tourists. There are ferries between Tallinn and Helsinki that run every few hours. Tallinn has become quite the retail capital of the Baltics.  Finns travel here to do their shopping.   I meta lot of travelers who just took a day trip to Tallinn from Helsinki.  

Tallinn is best known for its Old Town, most of the medieval wall that surrounds the city is intact.  The interior is a maze of cobblestone streets lined with shops, cafes and restaurants.  Town Hall Square sits at the center and provides a focal gathering place teeming with people day and night.
