Welcome to Figuring out which describes Tallinn better would be a tough job. On one hand, the city’s pride and joy is its historic Old Town, an enchant- ing neighbourhood of centuries-old streets, houses, towers and squares Tallinn! that looks like it was torn right from the pages of a storybook. On the other hand, threaded through that same Old Town and its environs are the cutting-edge restaurants, cafés and clubs that give Tallinn its energy and buzz. Visitors are often amazed by the newness of the place: the gleaming shops, the stylish interiors, the plush hotels. There are also the high-tech solutions that go hand- in-hand with Tallinn life, like free, wireless Internet available practi- cally everywhere and the common practice of paying for parking by mobile phone. This is, after all, the country that invented Skype. Call it old, new, or some kind of hybrid, Tallinn is an ideal city break destination. For one, it’s a highly compact city, most of which can easily be explored on foot without the need for taxis or buses. Most of the best opportunities for sightsee- ing, cultural events, dining, shop- ping, and nightlife are conveniently massed in city centre. And there’s plenty to do here. Anyone coming here for a real break should know that Tallinn is also a great place to do very little: take a quiet stroll through a park, relax in a health spa or – if the weather cooperates – sit on a beach. Whatever your agenda, whichever of the Tallinns you need – the romantic, Medieval Tallinn or the trendy, high-tech one – the doors are open. Just take your pick and head on in!

Its position as a vital trade port on the route between East and West has always given it an inter- national flavor, as well as made it a tempting prize for ambitious empires – Danish, Livonian, German, Swedish and Russian rule have all left their mark on the city’s landscape and culture. That means today’s visitors,toting cameras rather than heavy amour, will have plenty to see. EXPLORING TALLINN 5 The Story of Tallinn 8,000–3,000 BC: Finno-Ugric ancestors of the Estonians migrate to Baltic coast. 11th–12th Century AD: Estonian clans Exploring Tallinn use what’s now Tallinn area as market- place and harbour; maintain wooden fortress on Toompea hill. 1154: Tallinn first mentioned in historic records by Arab cartographer Al-Idrisi. 1219: Danish forces capture Tallinn. 1227–1238: German merchant families from Gotland settle at the base of Toompea, sewing the seeds of Tallinn as a Germanic trade town. 13th–15th Centuries: City sees rapid growth as major trading point between East and West. In 1248, Tallinn adopts Lübeck Law, giving it self-governing status. In 1284 it joins the Hanseatic League. 1346: Danes sell their Estonian holdings to the Livonian Order. 1558–1583: During the Livonian War, Tallinn attacked and besieged by the forces of Ivan the Terrible. Estonia ends up under Swedish rule. 17th Century: The city’s fortunes wane as it looses prominence as a trade centre.
