For New Year 2014 we decided to visit Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It is a magical time to visit the city as the Christmas markets are on, with the city's decorations still on display.
The medieval city is very compact and mostly contained within the ancient walls. It's beautiful and easy to explore on foot, with lots of winding cobbled roads and old merchant houses.
There are beautiful views of the city from the top of the very narrow staircase leading to the tower of the Dome Church. The church has been in existence since 1233 and was filled with history inside.
St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is dramatic from the outside.
Estonia was great fun and easy to explore. I would love to go back.
