Tallinn: Summer in the city
So far it has been an unforgettable, heat and sun filled summer here in Tallinn. The miniskirts are shimmying down the cobblestone streets, beer and wine glasses are piling up on the patio tables and the
beaches, this year at least, continue to be one of the hottest destinations for both locals and tourists alike.

Every bit as posh as the name implies, this Old Town establishment is a worthy addition to the growing boutique hotel market. Along with very tasteful rooms with old-fashioned touches (antique photos included), Savoy offers lots of little comforts like bathrobes, slippers and free local calls.

On the 19th July 2010 we visited Tallin from P&O cruises Oriana. We had a superb lunch, served by a lovely girl, who would not believe the ship's Captain was with us, even when she sat on his knee for a photograph!! I have the photo I could se[...]

This is one of the few all-around rip-off restaurants in Tallinn. No local ever dares to visit Bossanova, and only poor/disoriented tourist bit the bait. Prices are about 2-3 times what you usually pay in Tallinn, quality is extremelly low and sevic[...]
This was our second visit to Villa Thai, the first was 3 years ago and again tonight, July 19th, 2010. Unfortunately, the food failed miserably on both visits. The unusual mixed decor is the highlight of this restaurant. The chicken wings are a tast[...]
Way too young local teenage boys were trying to hit on me constantly on the dance floor. Being straight, I really found it annoying and intimidating. Especially as I was with my girlfriend they should have understood the situation. The food, cocktai[...]
Why are the three major art galleries/museums in Tallinn ALL CLOSED on the same day, Monday? Couldn't you all co-operate and have one of them open on a Monday? Not surprisingly, my comments have arisen from the fact that I am planning a visit to Tal[...]
