Tallinn, Estonia Cruises

Tallinn, Estonia Cruise Port

Despite being heavily bombed during the World War II, the medieval town inside of Tallinn was spared. The preserved cobblestone streets and buildings dating back to the 1400s are a big part of this former Soviet Union State’s appeal. Tallinn is a wonderful port to see because it has existed under several regimes and therefore has lots of history to share. Today, Tallinn is a modern city that aligns itself closely with Finland and the countries of Scandinavia. Tallinn is actually the birthplace of Skype, the much used internet application that allows you to video chat with friends and family all over the world.
