Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn, Estonia
Population: 413,290
Language: Estonian
This city's old town has been astonishingly well preserved and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. It is now in better shape than ever, with the bigger roads converted into fashionable shopping streets. At the historical and medieval heart of th city is the hill of Toompea, covered in cobbled streets and filled with medieval houses and alleyways. The lower town spreads out from the foot of the hill, still protected by the remnants of a city wall. Around the city, there is a series of well-maintained green parks, great for strolling.
