The old city walls of remarkable Tallinn, the capitol of Estonia.
The first fortresses in Tallinn were built in 1050 and the old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The stunning Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral is the the largest in Tallinn.
Tallinn is visually charming at every turn.
As visitors we felt warmly welcomed, making the city a delight to visit.
The Nevsky Cathedral is astonishing.
As if all this isn’t enough to make you fall in love with Tallinn, it is rated one of the top ten digital cities of the world along with Tokyo and Singapore, because of it’s widely available and free wifi, and it’s general public spirited digital saavy. As a person who travels a lot each year and is addicted to wifi, this is massively appreciated. Thank you Estonia!

It looks amazing!
Such a charming city and so happy you liked it too!
So pretty. Like a fairy tale setting in a Ballet… thanks for sharing eve.
Yes, well said, similar in this fairy tale feel with Prague and Brugge!
My wife and I have sweet memories of the city and the country. Thank you for beautiful photos.
Oh so happy you do and cheers too!
What a beautiful city! I almost feel as though I’m travelling with you 🙂
You are and it is making the trip more fun!
Wow, really astonishing 🙂 Great pics
Sometimes the less high profile places are the best! Cheers to you & thank you~
It’s very colourful!
Love the exuberant use of color!
Exuberant is exactly the right word! I was born in Canada, and when I go back (from Australia), I am struck by the dull, dowdy colours used in a country that is stricken with snow and gloom for many months each year.
These pictures are a feast for the eyes, Cindy. What a beautiful city. That cathedral is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you more for appreciating my friend! <3
Einfach wunderschön ich wünsche dir einen glücklichen schönen Tag und ein gutes Wochenende liebe Grüße und Freundschaft.Gislinde
Sie sind ein guter Freund Gislinde ! Schönes Wochenende für Sie und danke! <3
This brings back lots of nice memories of our visit to Tallinn last April…truly a nice city. (Suzanne)
I always think exactly the same thing when I return home from Europe or Latin America! Cheers to you~
I’ve been wanting to go there in a vague sort of way, Cindy – your photos are making me think more seriously about it…! RH
Oh I hope you do go and look forward to your post and pics!
Liebe Cindy das sind ja unbeschreibliche schöne Fotos einfach super fotografiert bin begeistert toll ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich dir in Freundschaft Klaus
Vielen danke Klaus! Freundschaft! <3
Charming and with good wifi. I want to be there!
Basically that summarizes an ideal travel destination for me! 😉
Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for appreciating it!
Looks like you’ve had/are having a wonderful trip Cindy, beautiful photos of a places I must one day visit 🙂
Thanks much and you will be happy when you do!
Beautiful city. Thank you for sharing the photos. I love traveling this way!
I love traveling with you! Merci beaucoup~
Avec plaisir
Gorgeous photos. Its old town is lovely – “must to visit”.
Yes, you can travel along the city walls which is always a big treat!
Klasse Fotos. LG. Wolfgang
Vielen danke Klaus. Gute Nacht aus Switzerland!
You made it to the top of the hill!
I did and inside and along the old city walls!
On an odd note. I saw that Estonia has very high internet speeds compared to other counties. …
Beautiful photos!
You can see why I love it so!!! <3
Thanks for taking me to Tallinn, what a fantastic place!
You know how to find incredible places and show them better than a travel broacher.
You are simply a great friend Jack and I can’t wait to take you and Pauline to tea when I next come to your incredible continent!
Looking forward to meeting you in person.
Like in the song thank you for being my friend.
Yes, me too and I know it will happen within the next two years!
You certainly are taking a Grand Tour. How many countries have visited? Great photos.
Boy I hadn’t thought to count, but will now…….I think nine, but my husband isn’t here so I am probably missing one! Here’s the list, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Russia, and now Switzerland for a whole week!!! 9 countries, six weeks. Thanks for making me add them up…
Isn’t Tallinn such a pleasant surprise! … and you have captured it well. Enjoy your next stop.
Yes indeed. My next goal is to spend more time in Eastern Europe. I have only been to Estonia and the Czech Republic and was completely charmed by both countries.
Good point … us too, as we eye a river cruise in eastern Europe sometime in the future.
I have heard wonderful things about doing this. The trains are also quite convenient if you prefer independent travel.
Lovely how he has hung his artwork 🙂 he seems to be prolific like me 🙂 Off to NYC to see Mike and his big NYC Art Show Opening can not wait! Photos later 🙂
Love NYC and know you will have a blast! You are such a talent ma deah~
I love that all the buildings in all the countries you’re visiting are so colorful! We should be doing that in the U.S. Thanks for the photos, and glad you’re having such a great visit.
This is how I feel every time I return home! Why so much beige????
Such great colours. In comparison, we seem rather drab over here. Although we seem to make up for it with intricate. I hope your having fun on your trip. 🙂
I will be in your country in, let’s see……seven months! But whose counting……;)
Truly astonishing. Beautiful photos!
Merci beaucoup from sunny Switzerland!
The colors and details are quite amazing. I’m quite taken with the parallels between Tallinn and Porto, Portugal, where were are now. Both are well deserving of their status as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Portugal is one country I have not been and do want to go. I can well imagine the beauty and am so glad you are there to capture it so beautifully!
Thanks. Like your description of Estonia, Porto offers many interesting pathways for walking and for taking time to enjoy a stroll.
So much colour! It’s a feast for the eyes! And don’t take this the wrong way, but Cindy, you really get around!
Wow.. I’m impressed. Who travels to Estonia? You do!
Awww, so appreciated…….It is interesting how the more untouted places are often the most enjoyable.
I just love all that colour. It makes our average streets in the UK look very dull in comparison.
It does and I have to hold my tongue when a friend shows me her proposed paint color scheme, usually light beige with darker beige!!!! Laughing……
Beautiful city and country, another one to add to my travel wish list…:), and yes I heard that Estonia was one of the most ‘wired’ country, I’ve also read that when they left the ex-USSR, they alledgely did suffer a massive ‘cyber attack’ believed to be orchestrated by the Russian military…
Wow, guess that would make one tech saavy!
A big smile and cheers! 🙂
Back to you my friend!
Thanks for sharing your passion Cindy. I love the colors, buildings and learning more about places that I haven’t been. blessings, Brad
Such a thoughtful comment and so motivating to encourage me to keep on bloggin!
My pleasure and vicarious thrills since I would love to be traveling and photographing!
I hope you do both and soon!!
Hi Cindy…

How beautiful! The Baltics are still on my list of places I want to visit.
Thank you and you will be very glad when you go!
Stunning images Cindy. Beautiful. Loved that city. Your photograph of the painter took me back to that exact spot and sprouted the memories inside me.
How delightful and so happy to have facilitated this. All the best to you~
I love this, Doron. Especially that bright path of red! xox
Love red in interior and exterior design! Glad you do too!
I’ve been really looking forward to the posts every day from your fantastic trip. These photos are fantastic of Talinn. I was lucky enough to visit this city a couple of years ago, and agree, it’s an astonishing city.
So happy you have been to Tallinn. It is certainly a city that is well worth visiting. Thanks much & cheers~
Amazing, Cindy! You should write a travel book… 🙂
Awwwww, very nice and cheers to you Bette!
So happy to see such a special and beautiful through you lens. Happy travel, Cindy!
I have been marveling at your recent photos on my kindle fire as we travel through Europe by train. My commnets often won’t post though, so please know I am appreciating them!
The colors and the architecture are fantastic! Hugz Lisa and Bear
I agree and send hugz back to both of you!
Bright and colorful buildings, I like it. I would love to see the man do painting. I think it is fascinating to watch.
Talent in operation on a side street. I love it too. Cheers to you my friend and thank you too!
Such beauty & such lively happy colors!
Makes one feel calm, and then the church bells ring……nirvana!
