Join us for an extraordinary week full of music,
history, architecture, and gastronomy. |
Steeped in history, full of vibrant energy and creativity, and overflowing with fairytale charm, Tallinn is a stunning metropolis set beside the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site considered to be the best-preserved medieval town in Northern Europe. Within these fortified walls, centuries old buildings with their red tile roofs and hidden courtyards exhibit a unique charm that is hard to resist. Within the city limits you can see the spectacular Kadriorg Palace, built by Russian Tsar Peter the Great, the museum ships of the Seaplane Harbor Museum, and the beautiful Pirita Beach and river area.
Eastern Europe this is not! While lumped in with its Slavic and Baltic neighbors by virtue of having been caught on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, Estonia sees itself as having much more in common with Nordic countries. Away from Old Town's cobblestone streets, the city has a modern feel with off-beat architecture and redesigned factory zones trending now as cultural hotspots where startups, design galleries, unique boutiques, restaurants and cool cocktail bars can be found. Beginning with the birth of Skype here back in 2005, the area has built up a reputation as the “Silicon Valley of Europe.” From cozy local bistros to upscale fine dining establishments, Tallinn boasts an abundance of excellent restaurants, including many mentioned in the current Michelin Guide. The charm of Estonian cuisine lies in its fusion of traditional flavors with modern twists. |
