Really cool video! Very informative. Well done!!
👍👍👍excellent!!!!
not bad really
Fun, 4:47 - 5. Tallinn's attraction is Helsinki? Helsinki is the capital of the Republic of Finland and 80 km north as the crow flies. It is true that some would like to connect the two capitals together, Talsinki or Helllinn have even been proposed as the new name. Dreams have no limit
haha not bad
Things to do in Helsinki: leave and go to Tallinn.
A Tallinner here: Stroomi beach is bullshit. Just a below-average city beach. We have so many really bautiful beaches all along the coast, starting from Tallinn, very accessible, aslo by public transport (not city transport, but county transport), also some of them by city transport (Viimsi f e) Just nature, and few people. Yes, no lifeguard (why do you need them unless you plan to drown?), no changing rooms but why do you need them. There is nobody there, you just change whereever.
I Estonia, all beaches and coasts are public property, so you can go anywhere. Stroomi or any city beach is a bullshit version of a beach in real nature, full of trash (left mainly by Russians), loud noise and music (also, Ru....s) and no beautiful view but ugly buildings and port and industrial places.
If you are too lazy to go out of the city, just go to Harku lake. It is in the city (bus 42) but looks like nature.
Or Pirita beach at least because they at least have the st Brigit monastery there, both mediaeval ruins and a modern monastery next to it. You can visit it with 2 euros or sth like that.
The names of the places were so mispronouced ...... i will just say one thing to the English speaking lapnguage rapers: o or ooo in Estonian is pronounced as the vowel in "dog". Not uu as in "you". Always. So not Tuumpä, Toompea. E as in "geko"-first vowel, of course, and a as in "car". So can you put it togetr now how to pronounce Toompea. It is ok not to know how to pronounce a foreign lnguage, it is totally understandable. Butr if you do not know, do not try either. Americans and English speakers just go about extremely confidently, completely based on English pronounciation rules. But English is not the only language in the world. In Estonian we have an very precise sound for each letter, and that particular letter is ALWAYS PRONOUNCED IN THE GIVEN WAY. Always. And one letter equals one sound, not two. For example. Stroomi. The oo is "o" (dog) only. Not õu, like in "oh". The latter would be two sounds. Always one sound only for one letter. And the sound does not change from word to word. The same goes both for vowels and consonants.
No "h" after pronouncig the "t". Toompea hill, not thohmpii a hill Drop the "h"-s you guys, unless you see an "h" letter. And even that can be left unpronounced if the word starts with it. Like "hobune" can be pronounced "obune", with silent "h". Depends on what you prefer. Every vowel is pronounced, also very other consonant but "h" that begins the word. And once more: no "h" after k p t g b d.
Try to pronounce KONN (frog). It is almost like "on", but add a calm k (with no "h" after it). So: konn, not khaaannn.
And just something I have ben wanting to say for a long time but keep forgetting. We have a pub in Old Town calles "Hell Hunt". It is not an English name and should not be pronounced as such either Which all foreigners always do. It means "A gentle wolf" in Estonian and this is important because the wolf for us is an important animal and even makes an appearance in our passports. He is our national animal (and the swallow is our national bird). In "Hunt" the u is pronounced as in "look". So when you find this pub you will know that the name is not referring to a hunt in hell, but to a gentle wolf.
"raekoja plats" or Town Hall Square: I suggest you just visit the actual Town hall. It is a really magnificent medieval building, rare because it is the only building in our Old Town following a Mediterranean Gothic style. The square around it is a tourist trap that I do not recommend falling into. Just no point. Just random eating places with random or no atmosphere and random furniture (I call it fast furniture, like "fast food"), and very overprized average food and drink. There are a lot more interesting and atmospheric cafes and restaurants. I only recommend Olde hansa. they follow and research mediaeval recipes (also modern stuff like coffee), they have a very mediaeval interior design and atmosphere and furniture an outfits of waiters. Lit by candles, not electricity. And not overpriced unless you plan to go there every day.
One very overpriced coffee place on Town Hall square is Kehwieder. At first it look snice and romantic, with candles again. But it is ridiculously expensive, ridiculoussssly. 4 euros for a hot drink. Four euros. Even three euros would be considered too much. 2.50 would be ok if it meant you sat in a nice place with a nice view and drank it from nice cups. And they are not even that good, and not even very hot. And a very limited choice of food.
It is sad to see how all the tourists just forget themselves in a trap in Town Hall square and just limit their visit to Tallinn to that as if that was it.
I recommend this approach to Old Town. Maybe not choose any specific attractions at all. Maybe just take a map and try to walk through EVERY street. That would show you the entire Old Town in its entirety. Ol dtown is the entire place, with the mediaeval street layout. It is not just a few tourist attractions. And our old town is completely walkable. And if you do that, you will stumble on the atrractions anyway.
