Tallinn, winter '18. It was a quick weekend trip, so not everything was visited. Here are, however, some highlights.
Upon my late arrival, the first impression was very picturesque and intense: multiple fireworks honouring Estonian Independence Day, coupled with the heavy snow, and cheering crowds.
Tallinn is the partial communist utopia — public transportation here is free for the residents.
Soviet trams are slowly but steadily pass the turn to the modern suburb bullet-trains. Country of contrasts, that is for sure.
There are also houses: not exactly gingerbread ones, not exactly Soviet Khrushchyovkas. Former may be found in Amsterdam and Brugges, any Russian rural town is filled with the latter.
Tallinn draws a nice contrast in-between.
Orthodox past and Lutheranian-atheistic present.
A strike of modernity was not avoided as well.
