Best Eastern City Hotel Portus Tallinn

... but apparently people do go there to buy things for their homes. I guess if you knew what you were looking for, then you could do quite well. Anyway, afterwards, we walked back to the center to go to the Tallinn City Museum, which documented a bit about the history and lifestyles through the years in Tallinn. Which helped to pass some time whilst waiting for a tour that we had booked to go down to the Bastion Tunnels, which run under the city. The tunnels ...

... of places of interest including the old city wall, town hall square (host of a medieval market at the time of our visit), Cathedral of Mary the Virgin and, unfortunately, blighted only by the presence of a McDonalds restaurant (can you pick the golden arches?). <br><br>On our first night we ate at the African Kitchen in the Old town (they don&#8217;t come more Estonian). However, this was a popular restaurant/bar, which is ...

Tänu Kristjani kavalale juhatusele leian osta.ee-st 100 krooni maksva spordikella, mille oksjon lõpeb 43 minuti pärast. Registreerin ennast kasutajaks, teen pakkumise ja saan järgmisel päeval Järve Selveri ees kokku Männikus elava Aleksandriga. Ürituse tulemusena on mul nüüd ...

... and fascinating interview, with insightful asides into life in Estonia before and after independence. Tallinn has city walls too, with appealing little red-tiled turret towers dotted along them, housing museums like Kiek in de Kok and the Maritime Museum. The old town is divided into the Upper and the Lower town, and you do have to pass through a gate to reach the upper town on the hill. It has mostly government and embassy ...

... Only, this one was built considerably earlier, in 1882 during the Tsarist period as strong Estonian answer to the Russian dominance. Just by the way, to me it was interesting that the Kaarli was also home to Estonia's largest church organ. I lingered there for a while, took a few pictures, and then headed up north towards the Hirvepark, or Deer Park. Sure enough, my goal was one of the most famous landmarks of Tallinn, the Toompea Castle. But before that, in Hirvepark I first came ...

... things like the receding coastline. Initially the Old Town was touching the Baltic Sea, now there are some hundreds of metres between. One good thing about the film was that it allowed us to sit down to watch it. The exhibits were good & interesting, but sore feet & a lot of museums affected how much we want to see. I decided to go up to the top floor (of 3), planning to have a quick look & then find somewhere to sit & wait for David. However the top floor was 20th century ...

Even the weather was Medieval! Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day! Ugh, and we LOST an hour over night! [SIGH] It is cloudy as we sail in. [SIGH] It is cool as we sail in. A big disappointment after yesterdays beautiful day at sea. [SIGH] It starts to drizzle as we disembark. It begins to pour as we make our way over to the tourist information offices to buy our DAY PASS card for Tallinn. Lovely! [SIGH] And Michael is ...

... Now this sounds great, indeed a dream, but deciding where to go on a whims notice is not that easy especially since we live in Australia and just cant fly over any old weekend to Europe. This had to be discussed and researched so after a few beers in a pub we decided to head to Ireland for st pats day and then spend two weeks in Italy seeing our relatives Yes it's a hard life i know but someone has to do it. Next stop Ireland

... was dry. The other chocolate-covered cake wasn't anything special - though the Irish cream filling was a nice touch. Both pastries could have been day-old. If this is considered the best pastry-shop in town ... the pastry scene in the Baltics is pretty brutal. <br><br>Kadriorg castle would definitely be nicer to visit on a sunny day. The museum inside was a bit like the pastries - a little dry. The Russian realist paintings ...

... los edificios pintados en tonos pastel. Parece una ciudad de cuento. La gente es muy amigable. No ha habido problemas con el idioma pues todos hablan un poquito o bastante ingles. Creo que eso ( y puede que la enorme sonrisa y ojos azules de las estonias) ha animado a Andy a aprender y chapurrear algunas palabras en su lengua. La verdad es ...
