Back from Estonia

Actually, I’m still in Stockholm waiting for my return flight from Tallinn… But as I have some time to kill, I’m already writing a small trip report.

So Tallinn must probably be the most beautiful city I’ve never seen!!! Or at least the old town is.

[Ok, I’m back in Brussels for about a week now…Time to continue with this post 🙂 ]

So the old town is full of medieval buildings: old dungeons, remparts, … When you are walking in the small streets, it’s like you came back 600 years in the past:

But aside of this external medieval aspect, the city is very modern, with a lot of interesting pubs and restaurants, many of them offering wireless internet access. Unfortunately, the laptop from my work isn’t equiped with Wifi…And I didn’t bring my personal one! 😐

Alcohol seems to be a great tradition in Estonia, and it’s going from beers to vodka, through some liquors. Personally, I tasted some local beers (Le Coq, Saku, …) and brought some vodka ( viru valge – not tasted yet) and liquor (vana tallinn – should have brought 5 liters of it!!!! To good!) back home.

I stayed in Reval Hotel Central ***, nice simple hotel, with great choice of food for the breakfast, and covered by Wifi. There are a lot of others hotels in Tallinn, either in the new city or in the old town.

Estonia, and Tallinn in particular, is a destination I would recommend to anyone. If you are a EU citizen, you national ID is enough to enter the country, but the Euro is still not used there… Happy travelling! 😉
