Tallinn is unique in Europe because of its medieval city centre. It has a special atmosphere created by the many buildings dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries when commerce brought great treasure to the city. The old Town Hall, St Olai Church, which was once the tallest building in the world, and the more than 2-kilometre-long preserved city walls are just some of Tallinn’s many attractions. The modern Tallinn, with its parks, walking streets and shopping centres lies just next to the old centre, and the short distances can make an ordinary walk feel like timetravel
