✈️ ARRIVAL

• we arrived by Flixbus from Riga - PLN 69.99 each
• we took the ferry to Helsinki (€31 per person, 2 hours)

🚃 TRANSPORT

• The Old Town is very compact - you can walk everywhere
• Uber and Bolt both work

🏰 ATTRACTIONS

• Old Town Hall Pharmacy - in the corner of the market, a tiny but interesting museum, where the marzipan recipe was supposedly invented
• in the middle of the square there is a stone with a compass - standing on it you can see the 4 towers of Tallinn's churches
• Katrina Passage - charming, especially in the evening
• Free Walking Tour - a 2-hour guided tour (in English) - a great introduction to the history and the whole city - free, so we pay at the end with a tip - it's worth it!
• On the hill, the Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral - a beautiful building, entrance is free
  • It is worth climbing from the side of the Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform - stairs to do without breathlessness, a beautiful view of the roofs of the Old Town and the bay
• Balti Jaam Market from 9:00 am (fruits, vegetables, etc.); floor from 10:00 (antique, soap and jam)
• Tallinn Creative Center (15 minutes walk from the market - full of pubs, small breweries and great street art

🍳 FOOD

• one must visit La Moo ice cream - organic, delicious and super good, I recommend mojito and dark chocolate
• we were told not to eat in the market - 11 restaurants have the same owner and I don't think it bodes well 🙂
• next to the market square there are two stylized "medieval" restaurants - Peppersack and Olde Hansa - nice atmospheric decor, so-so service, prices rather expensive
• it was raining, so in the evening we had dinner right next to the hotel - Kennedy's Baar ja Köök - delicious fish soup with salmon
• Maiasmokk cafe - delicious coffee and cakes (especially marzipan, beautiful interior
