Tallinn's atmospheric Old Town is an enthralling hodgepodge of medieval streets and spires. It's a small city, and the tourist areas are safe and easily explored on foot. Buy a Tallinn Card if intending to use buses, trolleys or trams. For a look into Tallinn's past, visit Rocca-al-Mare Open Air Museum's typical rural Estonian taverns, windmills and watermills, see the onion-domed 1900 cathedral or join the bustle in historic Town Hall Square. St. Olav's spire was once the tallest in the world.

Site where the All-Estonian Song Festivals have been held since 1928 along with concerts, festive ceremonies, exhibitions, open-air performances and other cultural events throughout the year.
The reason for the trip to Tallinn was for this concert, and this was our first visit. We walked here from the Three Sisters Hotel in the old town, a very pleasant walk that would have taken about 45 minutes if we had gone directly. We however, detoured via Kadrig Park and the Japanese Garden. As we were there for a concert, I can say that the venue staff had it very well organised. Due to the heat they did allow water in one bottle but not all security staff were told and as the first person through the gate with early entry had to explain and had a little hassle until one more senior person confirmed I was correct. Not a big issue and usual when you get so many staff. Once inside the food choices were excellent with a wide range of healthy options as well as the usual burgers. No real queues other than for merchandise which is nothing to do with the venue. Being on a hill the views are great as is the atmosphere. When leaving do be prepared, you have 65,000 people al leaving at the same time. The roads are shut and you are walking back to the town to be honest. It did take just 45 minutes and again was great as everyone is together, no cars or trams and a great atmosphere. Overall, an excellent venue for a concert especially for overseas visitors.

Linnahall or cityhall is in my opinion must see in Tallin. This building, opulent concrete structure is living evidence of soviet megalomania and fascinating piece of brutalist architecture. Yes is in very bad condition, old and destroyed but just try to imagine what cost would it take to reconstruct and what would be purpose of building? that is not very sustainbale. Anyway would be great to ahve a chance to see huge hall inside the building with sea views as described in architecutre guide. Go and see, it is different and really worth to visit
