The Baltic cities – Tallinn (Estonia)

Because of the reason that Finland is very close to the Baltic cities and especially Tallinn I have visited them during the winter break.

We had one week off from university and therefore I decided to take the ferry to Tallinn. During this week I was travelling with 3 friends of mine.

Because of booking in advance we got a ferry for approximately 20 euros which is a real bargain.

Having arrived in Tallinn we were showed around the city of a person living in Tallinn. He was really nice and told us a few places where I was able to take some wonderful pictures of the city. The weather on this day was extremely lovely, blue sky and sun shine. He guided us through the old town and took us to a sightseeing platform near the Parliament.

Together with my friends and this guy who is actually from Switzerland but has been living there for a while now, we had a break in a lovely café a little bit outside the city centre.

And oh dear, the crème brûlée with the rhubarb ice cream and the cup of coffee was so delicious.

During another walk through the city on our own we stopped at a little medieval restaurant which served reindeer soup. The soup was utterly tasty and even though we were not allowed to eat with a spoon we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food in this tiny restaurant.

Have not had enough, as they just served soup and bread, we went for dinner a bit later in a restaurant called “Peppersack”, which is located in the old town of Tallinn. There they served traditional Estonian meals and therefore we were able to get a slight impression about the Estonian kitchen and food.
