Tallinn is an ancient European capital with an amazing medieval atmosphere among narrow streets, fortresses and castles stone walls. Its heart – Tallinn’s Old Town – begins with picturesque Viru Varav and the vallum, which shelter the Statehouse, its square and paved way. They were built as much as 600 years ago, but they are in a fine state of preservation and ready to tell tourists their legends. Tourists can get into the spirit of Tallinn during Christmastime, when the city becomes “gingerbread” and dreamlike with plenty of fairy lights and candles.
