When to go to Tallinn?
Copper roofs, spires and intact walls make Tallinn's medieval core look assembled for a film, with the Gothic town hall on Raekoja plats at its centre. Toompea hill holds the castle and the terraces that look down over the lower town. North of the walls, Kalamaja's wooden houses, coffee roasteries and studios show the city's other face.
