First Time in Estonia | 48 Hours in Tallinn

Welcome to Tallinn everybody! This is our first ever experience of Estonia :)
It feels so good to finally be exploring Estonia - we got so close to seeing it this year with our trips to Russia and especially to Finland - so glad we could finally make it work.
We started our day at one of the most beautiful lookouts in Estonia, the Kohtuotsa lookout and the Patkuli viewing platform. From there we walked around the upper level of the walled city before making our way to ROST Bakery for some cinnamon scrolls and hot chocolates.
From there we went to the old town square to see the Christmas markets which are on till the middle of January if you want that European Christmas feel.
That evening we had a super unique medieval dinner at Olde Hansa with traditional meals and music.
The next morning we went to down below the Maiden’s Tower and Kiek in de Kök to get the best views of the city.

Tallinn was one of the most amazing places I have been so far and we also visit the restaurant, because I am a huge fan of medieval times. So cool.

As a Tallinn resident and travel lover, I love this :D Of course this isn't all of our city, there are other areas as well. And they have interesting features. But the Old Town is the best one in this perspective :). I'm proud to say our Old Town is one of the most authentic in the Northern Baltic area, as it has survived one of the best. And to say, welcome

[@blacksheep806]

Olde Hansa (that medieval restaurant at 4:50) is one of those places that quickly would seem like a classic tourist trap, but in reality it really is amazing! I've been there many times, always when I'm in Tallinn, it's a must visit, highly recommended! The atmosphere is so unique, candle lights, live medieval music with real old instruments. Also try their honey beer, it's delicious!

06:23 "in true medieval fashion, they are huge." [the portions] Me: "knowing that one of the biggest killers in that period was famine" ... *confused*

[@apian7594]

My man also mentioned medieval times and “the first century” in the same sentence.

[@piiluja]

Medieval time wasn't endless hunger and famine. There were good times and bad times. Those, who lived in stone buildings inside Tallinn city walls (including that very same building where today "Olde Hansa" operates), were upper class and barely experienced any hunger at all. Peasants and servants lived in wooden houses outside of city wall, their options were different.
