6 Secret Cities in Europe #3


6 Secret Cities in Europe #3



3 Tallinn
The Estonian capital can proudly claim to be the best-preserved medieval town in northern Europe, complete with castellated city walls, cobbled streets and guildhalls. That the beautiful ancient centre sits alongside a new town of exquisitely soviet dreariness only enhances the fairytale castle effect and mercifully the epidemic of mankini and morph suit wearing stag parties has died down significantly. This is somewhere just to wander the alleyways and ramparts, stopping often for a drink or bite to eat in a cafe, bar or restaurant in a centuries old building. It’s in winter that Tallinn becomes even more magical, as snow is likely and the city hosts one of Europe’s best Christmas markets, which you can visit from the cosy Three Sisters Hotel, created from a trio of adjoining medieval houses.
