'An empty bag won't stand up' - Estonian saying

I had heard that the old town of Tallinn in Estonia was very pretty.
But to be fair, I was expecting a small community affected by the years that it was part of the Sovjet Union.

Tallinn took me by surprise.

It was lovely!

Since the town is so small, a guided tour is really not necessary.
We walked most of the city in a day.

These buildings look out of a storybook.
They remind me of the town 'Belle' lives in from Beauty & the Beast.

The shops are small, cozy and touristic, but very pleasant to visit.

The old city walls surround a large part of the city.

And then this stunning church which barely needs any photo-enhancement:

Nearly as pretty as the churches in Russia for sure!

I have no clue what do they do to their flowers, but the colors were nearly to bright for my lens!

And voilá, there you have it!
The women in Estonia have a great saying to keep on shopping!

This was my last post from my Baltic/Scandinavia adventure!
I hope you enjoyed viewing my pictures and found some inspiration for your next vacation,
where ever you may travel.

Much Love,

I have seen pictures of Tallinn before and thought that we would enjoy it. Your beautiful photos make me want to go there even more. The pretty coloured buildings and the gorgeous church are stunning and that's a great saying too!
