Since 1997, the Old Town of Tallinn has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage list as it is one of the best retained medieval European towns, with a web of winding cobblestone streets and properties, from the 11th to 15th centuries, preserved nearly in its entirety. All the most important state and church buildings from the Middle Ages have been preserved in their basic original form, as well as many citizens’ and merchants’ residences, along with barns and warehouses from the medieval period. Its powerful defensive structures have protected Tallinn from being destroyed in wars, and its lack of wooden buildings has protected it from burning down. Tallin Airport is 4km from Tallin city centre and there are buses to the city every 20 minutes (cost 15 EEK) or the transfer by taxi will cost about about 100 EEK. Please note that hotels in Estonia are not required to have a star rating.
