Tallinn is the northernmost of the Baltic capital cities, and it differs in look and feel from both Riga and Vilnius. A well-preserved old town is at its heart even while modern chrome-and-glass establishments with free internet access act as contrasting, though characteristic, alternatives to traditional-style pubs and restaurants housed in ancient cellars. Between old and new, Tallinn strikes the perfect balance.
