On Tervetul oa lähes mahdotonta päättää, kumpi kuvaa Tallinnaa paremmin. Toisaalta historiallinen vanhakau- punki on sen ehdoton helmi. Siellä kaikki on ihanan vanhaa – kadut, talot, tornit ja aukiot ovat kuin Tal linnaan! suoraan satukirjasta.

Monet ihmettelevät sitä, miten uutta ja tuoretta täällä kaikki on: kaupat ovat tyylikkäitä, sisus- tukset on tehty varmalla maulla ja hotellit ovat ylellisiä. Erilaiset IT-sovelluksetkin ovat Tallinnassa jo normaalia arkea, kuten ilmainen langaton internetyhteys lähes kaik- kialla ja pysäköinnin maksaminen kännykällä.

Se on äärimmäisen kompakti kaupunki, jossa melkein kaiken voi nähdä kävellen, ilman takseja ja busseja. Suurin osa nähtävyyksistä, kulttuuritapah- tumista, ravintoloista, ostoskoh- teista ja iltamenoista on kätevästi aivan keskustassa. Ja Tallinnassa riittää tekemistä.
