Estonia: Talinn

This place definitely ended up being a hidden gem of our trip! A place filled with medieval architecture and not too touristy, it was definitely one of the best cities we have visited! The first day was spent just walking through the old town taking in the sights. The next day we went to the KGB prison museum where the KGB used to detain and 'interrogate ' anyone that was possibly an 'enemy of the people of Russia' during the USSR communist era. This place had some of the worst atrocities performed to people and many of the people that went through this place ended up dead or, worse, being sent to the gulags of Siberia. That afternoon we went to a medieval themed bar where all the waiters were in medieval costumes and where we tried some drinks based on medieval recipe eg spiced wine and honey beer. In the evening, we went to a local brewery and tried the local food which was really nice! We had also tried 'Valge Klaar', a Estonian soft drink and Karums curd snacks which are delicious! Overall, Talinn was great and worth a visit for anyone!En savoir plus
