Tallinn
Tallinn is the capital and the largest city in Estonia with a population of nearly 450 000 people. Tallinn has a lot of skyscrapers(the highest has 30), traffic jams, the only road tunnel in Estonia(with a length of 320 metres), free public transportation, bumpy roads, it’s own TV-channel(Tallinna TV) and Nordic alcohol tourism.
It combines the medieval architecture in the Old Town with skyscrapers in the modern city centre and panel houses in the suburbs. Tallinn lives in the rythm of a productive business environment with a bustling night life while still allowing it’s citizens to take a relaxing break once in a while.
