The streets in Tallin are pretty narrow. This is as wide that my lens goes to get the whole building in the frame.

Tallinn is the best preserved medieval city in Northern Europe boasting Gothic spires, winding cobblestone streets and enchanting architecture.
Once a home to wealthy merchants settling from Germany, Denmark and beyond, Tallinn Old Town today is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, with restaurants, bars, museums and galleries bringing much life to this historical city centre.
Unlike many other capital cities in Europe, Tallinn has managed to wholly preserve its structure of medieval and Hanseatic origin. Due to its exceptionally intact 13th century city plan, the Old Town was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, joining the ranks of the world’s most recognised landmarks. Here you'll find original cobblestone streets dotted with medieval churches and grandiose merchant houses, barns and warehouses many of which date back to the Middle Ages.

A small group of Estonian Pilgrims immigrated to escape oppression and settled in Northern Wi. Sadly the services only lasted for 50 years and closed in 1964. this Estonian church was the first to be built in North America and was established in 1907 and dedicated in 1914 by founding fathers Johan Wiltein, George Tutt, and Albert Sommi.

Estonian Song and Dance Celebration is the local signature event and a reason why Estonians are often referred to as the “singing nation”. The uniqueness of this mesmerising event has even earned the song and dance celebration a place at UNESCO's prestigious list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This delightful young lady was merrily playing a recorder for the entertainment of the mainly tourists in Tallinn, Estonia. Was she perhaps, hoping to attract a knight in shining armour ? However her lovely music & demure appearance certainly attracted a good audience.

After arriving in Tallinn we have already startet to explore the famous old town.
Here the grand old cathedral of Estonia.
From wiki:
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an orthodoxcathedral in the Tallinn Old Town, Estonia. It was built to a design by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in a typical Russian Revival style between 1894 and 1900, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is Tallinn's largest and grandest orthodox cupola cathedral. It is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, in the territorial waters of present-day Estonia. The late Russian patriarch, Alexis II, started his priestly ministry in the church.

The Baroque-style palace set amidst a picturesque forested park was completed in 1725 on the orders of the Russian Emperor Peter I for Catherine I, his wife and future Empress; however, she never stayed there. At this time the palace functions as an art museum.
Дворец в стиле барокко расположен посреди живописного лесного парка. Он был построен в 1725 г. по указу императора Петра I для своей супруги и будущей императрицы Екатерины I, но она никогда в нём не жила. В наши дни во дворце располагается музей искусства.
Kolga Manor.
From 1230, the estate belonged to the Cistercian Order. In 1581, Swedish king John III gave Kolga and the land around it to the famous Swedish general Pontus de la Gardie.
Kolga obtained its current appearance in the 1820s, when the previous building was completely reconstructed as a stylish Classicist palace. From the end of the 17th century to the summer of 2014, the manor has belonged to the same noble family – the Stenbocks.
Despite the fact that many of its buildings are in ruins, the manor complex still makes a majestic impression.
