View of the Old City from Toompea Hill

Quoting from our Finland tour book: "The highlight of Tallinn is undoubtedly the walled Old Town--a UNESCO World Heritage Site--and the lofty Toompea Castle." It is a tangle of narrow, cobbled streets and impossibly quaint medieval houses and is a delight to explore. We had a wonderful, relaxing day and a half looking at historical sites and shopping in stores and at the Sweater Market. Of course, we had to see Stockmanns. The prices seemed about 20% lower than in Helsinki. We had dinner at a traditional Estonian food restaurant. If we return for another visit, I'll be eating Indian food.
