Tallinn, Estonia



We finally reach Helsinki via the night bus ride, and we will be transferring to a 2 hours ferry to Tallinn, the capital and the largest city of Estonia. It retains its walled, cobblestoned Old Town, home to cafes and shops. Its Gothic Town Hall, built in the 13th century and with a 64m-high tower, sits in historic Tallinn’s main square. St. Nicholas Church is a 13th-century landmark exhibiting ecclesiastical art.

Some wefie while waiting for the ferry at Helsinki West Terminal.

Cruise we go... Watching the sunrise at 10am...

Took a short nap during the 2 hours ferry, manage to recuperate from the bus ride last night. There are Uber service in Tallinn and the price is unbelievable. From Ferry Terminal to Old town, about 15mins, cost 3 EUR. We will be putting up in an Airbnb in Tallinn, location is in the middle of the old town.
