  • Welcome to Tallinn everybody! This is our first ever experience of Estonia :)
    It feels so good to finally be exploring Estonia - we got so close to seeing it this year with our trips to Russia and especially to Finland - so glad we could finally make it work.
    We started our day at one of the most beautiful lookouts in Estonia, the Kohtuotsa lookout and the Patkuli viewing platform. From there we walked around the upper level of the walled city before making our way to ROST Bakery for some cinnamon scrolls and hot chocolates.
    From there we went to the old town square to see the Christmas markets which are on till the middle of January if you want that European Christmas feel.
    That evening we had a super unique medieval dinner at Olde Hansa with traditional meals and music.
    The next morning we went to down below the Maiden’s Tower and Kiek in de Kök to get the best views of the city.

    Olde Hansa (that medieval restaurant at 4:50) is one of those places that quickly would seem like a classic tourist trap, but in reality it really is amazing! I've been there many times, always when I'm in Tallinn, it's a must visit, highly recommended! The atmosphere is so unique, candle lights, live medieval music with real old instruments. Also try their honey beer, it's delicious!

      Medieval time wasn't endless hunger and famine. There were good times and bad times. Those, who lived in stone buildings inside Tallinn city walls (including that very same building where today "Olde Hansa" operates), were upper class and barely experienced any hunger at all. Peasants and servants lived in wooden houses outside of city wall, their options were different.

    Greetings from Latvia! :) I found out first about your chanel in december. I wrote in youtube "Northpole" and your videos pop-ed up and I loved them! The vibe is fantastic! Since then I have watched a lot of other videos of yours. Estonia is one of the Baltics citys as well ass Latvia. I noticed that you said that the first christmas tree ever was put out in Estonia but actually it was in Latvia. Thanks for the video! :)

      The clear envy of a Latvian.😍🤗 This is debatable. Historical analysts about Tallinn confirm that in 1441 the members of the Brotherhood of Blackheads placed the first Christmas tree on the Town Hall Square. According to some Latvian historians, the world's first Christmas tree was erected in Riga in 1510.
      But there are still contenders for the title of the world's first Christmas tree. Thus, in the small town of Sélestat in France, it is claimed that they had the world's first Christmas tree. Then arrest who has that right.
