A medieval gem nestled on the coast of the Baltic sea, Tallinn is one of Europe's most underrated yet most beautiful capital cities. Wrap up warm and you'll see an even more special side to this city in winter, when the pretty rooftops and streets of the old town are scattered with snow.

Tallinn is one of northern Europe's best-preserved medieval cities, and an unsung gem of the Baltic region. My city guide to this fairytale capital shows you where to find the best food in Tallinn, which beautiful districts to explore and how to find spectacular skyline views.
