Tallinn is a city on the Baltic
Sea coast, the capital and
cultural center of Estonia.
More than 400 thousand
people live in this city.
The first mention was at the
beginning of the XII century,
the date of birth of the city is
considered to be 1219.

One of its main attractions is the walled Old Town with cobbled streets, cafes and
shops. Another interesting place is the 15th century artillery tower of Kik–in-de-Kek.

In the XIII century, the 64-meter tall Tallinn Town Hall was erected. It is
located on the main historical square of Tallinn and is made in the Gothic
style.

Estonia is a flat country. Average surface heights are 50 m above sea level. The western
regions and islands have an average altitude of less than 20 m above sea level.

6.

There is a mountain Suur Munamyagi in translation means "Big egg
mountain“. From time to time there is a conversation about the "Tallinn
mountains". The Tallinn Mountains are easily accessible by public
transport.

7.

The oldest of the mountains is Mustamae (: Black Mountain). Today, about
68,000 (2018) people live here. The construction of Tallinn's first large
district of panel houses began in 1962. In addition to suitable construction
and geological conditions, the surrounding pine forest, slopes and
proximity to recreation areas became decisive factors when choosing a
place.

8.

If desired, you can get directly from
Mustamae to another large district –
this is Vyayke Yismae (: Small
Flower Mountain), built in the 1970s80s.
This area is easily recognizable on
the map of Tallinn, thanks to the ring
highway encircling it. It is on it, at the
address Erismäe 136-150, that the
largest residential building in the
capital of Estonia stands – the ninestorey “Chinese Wall".

9.

For most tourists coming to Estonia, Tallinn becomes the first destination. If
you like to plunge into a new atmosphere right away, keep in mind that no
matter what you arrived in the capital by plane, train, bus or ferry, the city
center is just around the corner.
