Had a chance to visit Tallin last weekend. Beautifull city, but the most lovely thing was that I did not see any cars from russia. Also heard local katsaps ordering coffee in English.
@@Cipirano It is really sad to hear that some people still see Zoo as some kind of exhibition. SOOO wrong. The zoo has actually obligation of preserving and, if possible multiplying rear species. Tallinn zoo is NUMBER 1 in the world keeping up and growing the population of European mink. The zoo is NOT a prison for animals anymore. Just get to used to the new approach (ca 70 years :P )
If you come to Tallinn, I recommend visiting the area of the old mental hospital Seewald, which is really exciting! The history of the place and a longer introduction in the video description :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fYe1as97NnA.html
The list can be downsized to top 8 as Nevsky church and Toompea Castle are situated in the broad Old Town. And the rest of it, especially hop on/off travel signals that there is really nothing special to see in the city. And true to say, this is the reality. Except for the Old Town, which is amazing, the city looks really ugly and outdated.
As someone who has been in Tallinn many times, it is an absolutely gorgeous city outside of the old town, despite the shitty soviet architecture in some places. Not ugly at all
@@gourmetbacon5750 just visited yesterday, I think even the soviet buildings etc. Are historically interesting buildings to say the least 😊 Old town is my all time favourite and I'm dreaming about owning a home there someday ❤
Meh those are the worst things todo i guess. So boring. İ am not going another country to see buildings. Speak about night life, natural places, water falls, woods, best pubs,
In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!! ☺️🙏
so what shall we call Tallinn? the Estonian Malmoe? the eastern viking state? I appreciate it as it is neither nordic nor soviet , just unique. no need to feel inferior to bigger countries.
Toompea Castle located next to Alexander Nevsky Church? Toompea Castle is a 13th century castle, intrinsic to the history of Tallinn, while Alexander Nevsky Church was built in 1900 as a symbol of Russian imperialism in an otherwise Lutheran town. It was built next to Toompea Castle, so it's cringy that you describe the location of the castle after the location of the Russian Orthodox church.. It's also weird as fuck that you include that symbol of Russian imperialism as one of the top 10 things to do in Tallinn... Do better research next time!
Your country's most important symbols and history comes from Russia Maybe that says something about your country and your "northern European" culture ...
@@-andreiDNA No, they don't. Our most important symbols and history come from Germanic countries (Germany and Scandinavia). Crawl back to your cave with your arrogant ignorance...
@@-andreiDNA Except that Estonia literally is in Northern Europe... Do you also not consider Finland Northern European? They too were merely colonized by Scandinavians...
