Best Months to Visit Tallinn

- Thousands of geese, long-tailed ducks, Bewick's swans, and Steller's eiders frequent the islands and shallow bays from February through April.
- Autumn can be immensely gratifying, with deep, dark forests and marshlands combining in a riot of warm colours, but the same cannot be said about the temperatures, which seem to drop as soon as September begins.

Toompea Hill
- Despite just rising 20 or 30 metres above the rest of the Old Town, Toompea Hill has long been associated with power and distinction due to its conspicuous and strategic location.
- Many exciting and impressive historical sights can be found on top of the little limestone mount, including Toompea Castle, St. Olaf's Church, and Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral.
- The mound, which is said to be the resting site of Kalev, an Estonian mythological figure, is a fascinating place to explore.

Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral
- With its crimson walls, dazzling white decorations, and black onion domes, Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral was only completed in 1900, when Estonia was still a part of the Russian Empire.
- The cathedral, which sits atop Toompea Hill, features superb Russian Revival architecture and wonderful woodwork iconostases and magnificent mosaics.
- The church was long viewed as a symbol of oppression by Estonians.
- It was intended to be demolished after independence in 1924 due to its prominent and possibly offensive position atop the hill.
- Thankfully, these intentions were never carried out, and the Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral has since become one of the city's most prominent tourist attractions.

Dark Rye Bread
#Food
- According to Chef Ants Uustalu of öbiku Gastronomy Farm, this famous traditional Estonian bread is present on every table, a quintessential component of the Estonian culinary tradition, whether home-baked or home-baked or purchased at your favourite bakery.
- It's also a slow-cooking ode. The components are kept simple: rye flour, water, salt, sugar, and yeast; however, other ingredients such as seeds and nuts, dried tomatoes or other fruits, and garlic can be used (or pretty much anything for that matter).
- A slightly moist and delicious piece of bakery known as black bread or Leib in Estonian keeps the heart happy and the stomach satisfied.
- If you don't have the opportunity to visit Estonia anytime soon, you might always try baking it yourself.
- The result will be well worth the work – and there will be a lot of it since this regional delicacy takes at least 12 hours to create.
Kiluvõileib – Sprat Sandwich
#Food
- The Estonian Sprat Sandwich, a bread-and-fish dish that differs significantly in the north, is famous in Slavic cuisines and is a natural culinary emanation of a country encircled by so much sea.
- Kiluvileib is offered at all occasions, from casual get-togethers to birthdays, holidays, weddings, and funerals, and is always enjoyed with gusto.
- A good quality marinated sprat fillet, a slice of dark bread (see above), butter or a mayonnaise-like sauce, a cooked or poached egg, possibly sprinkled with aromatic herbs, and voila! Your new favourite sandwich!
Mulgipuder – Potato and Groats Porridge
#Food
- This is a meal that is 100% Estonian. Locals report that this is a classic example of Estonian peasant culinary innovation, free of foreign influences and that it was offered as part of their main holiday menu.
- This potato and groats mash, a favourite of Chef Silver Saa's traditional Estonian cuisine, hailed from South Estonia and was traditionally made in the morning and left to simmer all day when peasants got home from the fields.
- It can indeed be made faster now. It only requires two essential ingredients: potatoes and groats for the vegan version, or lard, fermented/sour milk, and some fried onions and bacon for the original Estonian form.
