For those who believe in fairy-tales: go to Tallinn! Its old city is full of medieval towers, winding alleys, quiet corners and mysterious legends that leave much to the imagination.
The fundaments of Tallinn were laid some 4,500 years ago, but the city really came to life in the Middle Ages, during which it was occupied by Danes, Swedes, Germans, Russians. It also was a Hanseatic Town which brought the city prosperity. After being part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, it became the capital of an independent Estonia in 1991. The old town now is a well-preserved testimony of Tallinn's past, a small island in a sea of the modern city.
