Tallinn, the capital and largest city of Estonia, is located on the Baltic coast and has a rich historical and cultural heritage. An important cultural center in Northern Europe, Tallinn is known for its well-preserved medieval old town, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The city's blend of Gothic architecture, Hanseatic commercial traditions and modern technological industries has been described as an example of a "digital society".
Tallinn dates back to the 13th century and was an important member of the Hanseatic League. The Old Town is divided into the Upper Town (Toompea), with historic buildings such as the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and the Lower Town, famous for its Town Hall Square and colorful houses. The city has a vibrant cultural life with numerous museums, music festivals and creative industries, while Estonian is the official language and English is widely spoken.

Tourism is well-developed and visitors can experience attractions such as the Christmas market, the seaside promenade and Kadrio Park. The city is easily accessible by public transportation and has a mild climate with pleasant summers and snowy winters, making it suitable for year-round excursions.
