Tallinn is not only an important economic, political and cultural center of Estonia. This place is also a vivid reflection of a magnificent medieval Europe.
Tallinn ancient city, a place forgotten by time
Speaking of Europe, visitors immediately remember France with magnificent Paris, Italy with Venice, Milan, Rome or the Netherlands with the famous Amsterdam city. However, few people know that Europe still has nostalgic old cities with carefully preserved architectural works.
Considered as a living medieval museum amidst modern flow, Tallinn city of Estonia is the most attractive destination for history and art enthusiasts

.
Despite the changes of nature, politics and economic upheaval, Tallinn still retains the typical Hanseatic architecture from the Middle Ages. The ancient beauty of the city almost does not fade with the stone paved streets, ancient houses built in the 13th century. In 1997, Tallinn Old Town was recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site and was the European Cultural Capital in 2011.




Tallinn has just over 400,000 inhabitants. It seems that the people here are not accustomed to having many visitors. When I arrived at a cheap hotel in the north of the city, the receptionist exclaimed, “Where are you from? Vietnam? What are you doing in this cold Estonia? " Indeed, the weather in Tallinn is quite cold, sometimes colder than Finland when it is not sunny and the wind is strong. Gorgeous and charismatic are two words I can describe Tallinn city in winter.
It is not just the main political, financial, cultural and educational center of Estonia. Tallinn is also known as the Silicon Valley of Europe with the highest number of startups per capita in the region. The headquarters of the IT agency of the European Union are also located here
Tallinn's old town is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe.



You can walk all day here without getting bored, every street corner, the building has an English guide that tells you the historical stories of Tallinn's ups and downs. Do not forget to visit the cafes in the old town and sip a cup of hot chocolate to feel the peaceful atmosphere in the heart of ancient Europe.
The cost of living in Tallinn is also quite affordable. After more than a week in Sweden, Finland, I went to Tallinn and it felt like everything here was about 3 times cheaper than modern cities. A bottle of soft drink costs 0.8 cents (equivalent to 18,000 VND), compared to Finland is 2.5 euros (70,000 VND). The cost of motels is only from 300,000-400,000 VND / night.




Traveling in Tallinn is extremely easy with buses and tram (a form of ground train attached to electric wires). Because the city is small, the number of trips here is relatively small, visitors will not worry about getting lost. You can buy a daily ticket to use with prices from 80,000 VND or pay by trip with a more expensive price (2 euros / way).
If you are looking for a real slice of Europe that is different, please visit Tallinn, which has not been “invaded” by tourists. This medieval city would be a beautiful experience for those who love adventure travel.
