Tallinn City Breaks
Discover Tallinn, one of Europe's smallest cities, where the red roofs of the medieval city and maze of cobbled streets merge seamlessly with designer malls and gleaming skyscrapers, all observed imperiously by the hilltop Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Step back to the Soviet era at the Occupation Museum or to the reign of Peter the Great at his opulent, Baroque summer palace, Kadriorg Park. Pass the time people-watching from a table in the Old Town Square and indulge your taste buds in a range of international restaurants. Hit the high note at the Estonian National Opera or mingle with the hip crowd in any number of bars and clubs.

Regent Recommends...
The majority of Estonian beer-drinkers can't be wrong so make sure you try a cold glass of Saku beer, the market leader in Estonia, on a tour of the brewery. Estonia's oldest brewery, dating from the 19th century, traces the history of beer production, once brewed at home, in abbeys and castles from 500 AD, through to modern methods. Purely for research purposes you should sample one or two of their products!
When to go..
Many celebrations take place throughout the year in Tallinn and the biggest festivals often have a strong Estonian theme. These events include the Estonian Music Days in April, and the Day of Tallinn each May. Since Tallinn has a fabulous Medieval Old Town, then don't miss Tallinn's Medieval Market in July, where craftsmen, traders, musicians and actors flock to the Old Town. People in costume create an authentic atmosphere, and there are concerts, workshops and children's activities to enjoy.
