Car Hire Tallinn

Tallinn Mini Guide

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, though it lies not far away from Finland. The city was built only 70 km south of Helsinki on the south Gulf of Finland coast.



Tallinn has an attractive medieval heart with many beautiful cobbled streets and old buildings. In fact they have been put on the UNESCO World Heritage list of items to be preserved, and they have so far done an excellent job of just that. The city centre is in immaculate condition. There are also remnants of the old years of Soviet occupation lurking around and if you see a building built in steel and glass chances are it dates from the Cold War. For a real Cold War experience you can stay in the Hotel Viru which used to be completely bugged by the KGB, Russia's secret police force.



To get your bearings of Tallinn climb up to the hill of Toompea from which you can see the remnants of the city wall which used to surround Tallinn, as well as many green parks. There is also very good shopping in Tallinn.
