Tallinn is just a small town, with a charming town square and medieval architecture, but the hospitality is incredible hence its current status as a "stag and hen do" destination. Nevertheless, for a short weekend break it offers some luxury hotels, fine restaurants and great shopping for locally produced goods.

There are few places in Europe where the aura of the 14th and 15th centuries survives intact the way it does in Tallinn's Old Town, a jumble of medieval walls and turrets, needling spires and winding, cobbled streets. Nevertheless, Estonia's capital is so modern it's been dubbed 'a suburb of Helsinki'.

The area of Toompea is home to a bevy of fascinating sights including the 19th-century Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral; Toomkirik, the Lutheran cathedral founded in 1233; the Estonian Art Museum; and the kookily named Kiek-in-de-Kök, a tall stout tower built around 1475.
