Here's your itinerary:
Day 1 - Reverberating Rhythms of the Old Town
Let's kick off our Estonia adventure! Our first day in Tallinn calls for strolling through the cobbled lanes of the UNESCO-listed Old Town. Rich in medieval history, here you'll see exquisite architectural wonders like the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Tallinn Town Hall. Maybe you're thinking, 'Is it just history?'. Nope! Head over to the Masters' Courtyard where contemporary boutiques and quaint shops harmoniously blend with the ancient vibe. Witness the breathtaking panorama at the Patkuli Viewing Platform; it's the best spot to soak in the Old Town's charm! End your day by savoring traditional Estonian cuisine at Rataskaevu 16, a restaurant beloved by locals.
Day 2 - Melding The Contemporary and The Historical
Eager for more surprises? Then, let's explore Kalamaja on day 2. Known as Tallinn's hipster quarter, it’s the place to be for art enthusiasts and foodies alike, interlaced with trendy cafes, bohemian shops, and modern art scenes. Walk through the seaplane harbor and marvel at the maritime museum, or indulge in some retail therapy at Telliskivi Creative City. Doesn't that sound perfect? Once you're all shopped out, recharge yourself at F-HOONE, a local joint with a heady mix of international and Estonian flavors.
Day 3 - Delving Deeper into Estonia's Heart
It's our last day, but don't fret! Today, we'll uncover even more of Tallinn’s riches. Visit Kadriorg Park, home to the spectacular Kadriorg Palace and an art museum showcasing Peter the Great's collection. You won't believe how time takes a backseat here! Next, draw your attention skywards to the TV Tower, the tallest building in Estonia. At its viewing platform, you're invited to a spectacular skyline that might just make you want to stay in Tallinn forever. Wrap up your three-day adventure by relishing the taste of craft beer at Põhjala Brewery - cheers to an unforgettable journey! Oh, did I mention they offer a brewery tour as well?
