ESTONIA IS UNDERRATED (Tallinn Estonia is Europes Best Medieval City!) 

Happy New Year!! 🍾 🥂 🎉 Thank you for all the support in 2022 and bring on another amazing year in 2023!

I'm so glad you liked our little country 😊

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, but I always feel somewhat sad for foreigners experiencing Estonia for the first time in dreadful winter. Summers here are glorious with so many cool outdoors things happening. The white nights alone are such a treat, and people are much nicer when it's warm and sunny outside 🙂

The staff in III Draakon play the part of the grumpy / mean inn keeper, it's part of the experience. Great place to visit, no honey beer, but the hot apple pies are amazing!

Welcome! I moved here 2 years ago from the Netherlands, never want to leave

Moving to Tallinn in April, so excited!

Good to see my little country getting some show time!

My Dad is originally from Latvia. He and family had to leave during WWII, but whenever we visit Latvia, we take trips to Estonia/Finland or Lithuania. Tallinn is such a beautiful city and is one of my favorites because I love all things Medieval, and it is loaded with it! Tallinn and Riga both have these Medieval restaurants with candlelight only. Rosengrals in Riga, and Olde Hansa in Tallinn. Olde Hansa is three floors that you explore upward. Rosengrals, you descend stairs to a cellar and have all kinds of hidden dining areas with ancient brick walls and vaulted ceilings.

The 3 Dragons and Olde Hansa are the same establishment - my wife used to work in the latter. Everybody has their personalities they have to represent according to the post they are working on. The position for the 3 Dragons lady is a special one, in which she has to be rude and abrupt. The position's name translated means Tavern's hag :)

Yay Jordan!!!! Happy New Year and thank you for a dose of Jordan 2023! ❤❤❤🎉

Aw looks so fun with all of the snow! Happy New Year you guys!!

A massive thank you for your lovely video about 🇪🇪Tallinn. Tallinn is so great during Christmas 🌲time😊 Wish you both all the best in 2023🤗

2:45 MAIASMOKK -my parents favorite cafe. Used to go there every weekend in 1970-s. Thank you.

10K Subscribers and climbing! 2023 is your year! Congrats and Happy New Year! (Tallinn looks amazing, reminds me a bit of Krakow)

We are waiting for you again in Turkey, there are many places to visit, have a nice holiday and happy new year.😊😉❤❤

When we did a Baltic cruise 3 years ago, Tallin was my favourite as you know because I still talk about how amazing it is now. We were only there for a day in June which wasn’t long enough but we had beautiful weather and we were able to walk around & explore the cobbled streets but the snow covered roofs looked really pretty. I just loved the history and the architecture in the old town. Now you know why I talk about the epothicary (pharmacy/museum) so much it’s because it’s the oldest pharmacy in Europe & it has all these crazy remedies that’ll fix you right up. We also went in the Cathedral of St Mary the Virgin (I had to google it because I forgot what it was called) which was built in the 13th century, that’s really really old. Inside the walls were filled with epitaphs, pews that had little doors either side so you were sitting in your own private area (early VIP seating) and these huge pipes where the organist would belt out the hymns of the day. It’s a shame you didn’t get to experience that and also going up the towers and walking around the wall. Next time you’ll have to go in the summer and maybe we’ll come with you. Jordan may need to replace his favourite t-shirt that I bought him by then. Miss you both, love you, mum.xx🛡️⚔️

Looks very cool!

I spent a month in Tallinn in 2022. The old town is interesting as far as the architecture and the city walls go, but all the places there were very touristy, expensive and artificial. But it depends on what you're looking for, I guess. My recommendations, if you want something a bit different are: Telliskivi creative city - an old industrial complex near the main train station that was turned into a place where you can find really cool restaurants, art galleries, theater, bars and things like that. There is also a hotel there where all the rooms are shipping containers and it's very cool. Linnahall - an massive old Soviet concrete structure on the coast, that contains a big concert hall. It's closed now and kind of falling apart, but you can still walk on top of it and see the city and the North sea. The ferry terminals - there is a really cool walkway that takes you right up to the ferry terminals and docks, there is a cafe at the end and you can hang out and watch the giant ships. The Muuseumilaevad - a naval museum inside of an old Soviet hangar, there's a big submarine you can go into, and a lot of other naval stuff. Baalti Jaama Turg - a big market near the main train station that has different food places, clothes, handmade stuff, and a big part of it are antiques, mostly old Soviet things. Sveta Baar - a cool underground music venue, I saw some great punk and metal shows there. Cheap beer and interesting people. Pööbel - a cozy pub with good beer, not too expensive. They make a great burger with Estonian beef, best burger I had in Tallinn. I'm sure I could think of a few more things... Oh, and it's REALLY COLD. I was there in April and I was freezing the entire time. The weather was great, it was sunny almost every day, but there's like a polar breeze blowing the entire time. The food and beer in the shops is not expensive, but the restaurant are really expensive, so choose carefully where you're going to eat.

Surprised to see you so early. Tallin looks great I didn’t realise oldie world ie these places are. Happy New Year. Am looking forward to your travels in 2023 Take Care xx

I've been to 13 countries so far and I was also in Tallinn last September. Even though I only spent one and half day there, I consider it as my favorite city so far. Your video really made me want to visit Tallinn again....Thanks for the video, now I'm gonna cry for a bit....

Glad to see that you guys liked Tallinn! Love from Estonia

visited tallinn there in July last year while on a cruise holiday, its a beautiful city, with that old medieval charm feeling, would liked too have spent more time exploring tallinn.

I was in Tallinn in 2011 on my own for a concert. Lovely, lovely place. Really loved their strawberry A Le Coq cider. Went to Olde Hansa for dessert one day. They also sold some delicious sugared almonds. My sister would have loved that old pharmacy.

Amazing!

I’m like it do that you are likeing in the Tallinn😊😊

Absolutely beautiful ❣️👍🏼😊😉

I am really glad you guys like our country. I hope you visit other smaller cities in here (Rakvere, Viljandi etc etc)

Agreed! I was there a few days after the 1st as part of my trip to Finland and this was definitely one of the best highlights of my trip. Tallinn, Estonia is AMAZING!! Loved it! Even stumbled upon and went to that same cafe....Annnd...I got the spinach cheese thing and a hot chocolate too! Haha

What a wonderful city. Would really like to visit Estonia

good video! you are good👍 I also like Tallinn

Its so great to see people from all around the world coming to Estonia!

Super nice you liked my home town!

im glad u enjoyed staying in my county :)

Im so happy atleast someone visited our country. I live like a 2 hour drive from Tallinn. In Estonia there is a city called pärnu its very small but very cool thing there!

Yassss Jordan! Always Love it when have sausage! 🥰! Can I buy your old T-shirt from you? 😊

Hi! The name of the pharmacy you visited is Raeapteek and it's the oldest business in Tallinn and also one of the oldest European pharmacies that has been open all the time until today, i.e. more than 600 years! In the Middle Ages, there were some kind of strange treatments, which are also introduced and exhibited in the museum of this pharmacy. For example, hedgehog urine was used as eye drops.😊

Happy new year to you both. Happy and healthy. God bless 🙏🙏

We sat in the same seats in Olde Hansa 🙃🍽

I have the aircon while watching you in the snow so I feel like I'm there. When you were at the 2nd medieval place I heard something about a bear steak? That sent my partner down a rabbit hole about what bear tastes like and apparently bears that have recently eaten berries for e.g. are good but bears that have recently eaten fish don't taste very good.

Happy new year guys🎉. Where'd you spend new years eve? In Finland or Estonia? Did you see any fireworks display?

In a week it got +5 and raining

The best medieval city in Europe is located a little bit to the west at the island of Gotland, Visby.

Freeeeeeezing cold! It is -5 😂😂😂. Then what would you say at -25, I wonder?

Hi there I'm Doris I'm from mass usa my best friend Lisette from middle school ls there with her family 🥰 have a grrrrrreeeeaaatt month

Estonia mentioned 🇪🇪

-5 is not even all that cold tbh. It can go up to -45 sometimes :)

I think I might've seen you in real life while driving from the airport. I just can't remember properly. This video just randomly popped in my recommendations. Were you the couple who filmed a bit in tram nr 4 from airport at 7th January? Bc I was sitting across the couple and had this big red suitcase. Otherwise, I'm glad you liked it here.

Who told you that Estonia is underrated? )

The funny thing is that if you are estonian, then google automatically translates "Estonia is underrated" to "Eesti on alahinnatud" but alahinnatud is not a word the correct way to spell it would be allahinnatud

-5'c "freezing cold"? Our usual winters here are about -20'c

Let's be honest, you didn't leave the old town, did you?

Just had new year in Tallinn . Really nice place . Riga comes a close 2 nd But in Riga your more likely too be begged for money

Jasenovac First konc lager for kids Magnum Crimen

She probably seemed "mean" to you since, it being medieval themed, Estonians were even more up-front and direct than nowadays. It's not like we're assholes, we just get to the point and beat around the bushes as little as possible.

When we have to choose where to go on holiday, the Baltic countries are not high on the list. What else if there is an opportunity.

Do you quote US$ or aussie$?

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!!! 🥰🙏

Sorry. But everything around the Old Town Square/Christmas Market is super expensive as it's only there for the tourists. I will give credit to Olde Hansa for having amazing food. Their elk is delicious.

That snow is nothing compared to scandinavia, nordic and canada

Aliarvittu 😀 That’s kind of vulgar

Tallinn is great. Greets from Helsinki 😊

As a canadian born in estonia, i can say this video took you to heavy ass basic tourist traps..... no essence in this video. But to warn you all about Estonia, it is unreasonably expensive.... and only worth visiting around June 23
