Only an potential idea at this stage but defo happening in April as soon as i figure prices and accommodation .

### Though Tallinn may be over 700 years old, it is looking towards the future.

In the morning, you can wander the streets of Old Town and marvel at buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. Then in the afternoon, you check out an avant-garde art exhibition in what used to be an old submarine factory. Thanks to Tallinn's compact footprint, old and new mix in every part of the city.

### The walkable city center is one of the city's most attractive features.

Old Town may be the main draw, but lively neighborhoods with diverse dining and entertainment options are only steps away.
Don't let Tallinn's size fool you, though. It may be tempting to think you can cross it off your list in a day, but you'll have only just scratched the surface. The vibrant cultural scene, excellent fine dining, and fascinating history will make you want to spend a day or two (or more!) in Tallinn.

Tallinn's Old Town encompasses endless treasures for history buffs and culture hounds alike. Known for being one of the world's best-preserved Hanseatic town centers, the vibrant village-like area features cobblestone streets, lively cafés, and architecture from long-ago centuries.
Start your experience at the Town Hall Square. While you might be tempted to keep your eyes cast up at the colorful buildings, look down until you find the distinctive circular stone marked with a compass. Standing atop it gives you the unique vantage point to see the steeples of five historic churches around Tallinn. Then, make your way inside the church-like Town Hall. Erected in 1404, the oldest town hall in Northern Europe boasts magnificent Gothic arches and precious artworks.
Then, head across the square to one of Europe's oldest continually running pharmacies, Raeapteek. The establishment celebrates its history with a mini museum focusing on antique medical tools and early healthcare techniques. You can also sample herbal tea blends created from local ingredients in the pharmacy's basement.
Another prominent spot in Tallinn's Old Town is the Viru Gate. Once part of the city wall's defense system, this 14th-century structure features fairy-tale-esque, round towers topped with coned roofs fit for a princess. Nearly two kilometers of the original city wall is still standing. You can get a good look at this historic structure from the Patkuli viewing platform on Toompea Hill.
