Winter Wonders in Tallinn
For those able to bear a -10C (or -25C, depends on your luck) weather, Tallinn during winters offers a lot of fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re here for a short time of a few hours, a long week-end or enjoying a full holiday, there’s plenty to do. After you’ve got on your socks, a second pair of socks, really good shoes, many layers of cardigans, several scarves, a warm hat (definitely with ear-flaps, ushankas are the best!) and a coat or two, you’re ready to go and explore!
Таллинн – Cтолица Эстонии
Таллинн – это столица Эстонии и идеальное место для отдыха, если вы хотите сочетания современных удобств, разнообразной ночной жизни и роскошных приключений с богатой культурой, исторической атмосферой и извлечением максимума из своей поездки.
Подавляющее большинство туристов приезжают в Эстонию через столицу страны – Таллинн, пользуясь самолетом, поездом, автобусом или личным автомобилем, превращая Таллинн в самый международный город Эстонии.
С населением всего полмиллиона человек Таллинн вряд ли можно назвать мировым метрополисом. Тем не менее, небольшие расстояния и разгруженность дорог дают Таллинну особые преимущества. Независимо от того, исчисляется ли ваше свободное время в Таллинне часами или днями, вас ждет множество впечатлений. Средневековый Старый город Таллинна, один из наиболее хорошо сохранившихся исторических центров среди городов Ганзейского союза, – всего в нескольких минутах пешком от делового центра с его небоскребами, современными отелями, роскошными ресторанами и торговыми центрами.
Средневековый Старый город Таллинна известен во всем мире своей подлинной Ганзейской архитектурой. Наслаждайтесь видом мощеных булыжником улиц и зданий, самые старые из которых были построены еще в 11 веке, посещайте местные галереи и музеи, отдыхайте в маленьких уютных кафе и ресторанах и покупайте памятные сувениры на летней и рождественской Ганзейских ярмарках.
Всего в пяти минутах ходьбы от средневекового Старого города находится процветающий деловой центр Таллинна: современные небоскребы из стекла и стали, высокотехнологичные отели и конференц-центры, сотни ресторанов и баров, банки и магазины. Здесь вы найдете все, чего можно ожидать от современной европейской столицы, но ближе и по более низкой цене.
Факты о Таллинне
Официально в Таллинне проживает около 500 000 человек, большинство из которых – эстонцы. Русские (около трети населения Таллинна) являются крупнейшим национальным меньшинством; за ними следуют белорусы, украинцы и финны, которые вместе составляют еще 6% населения. Наиболее распространенными языками являются эстонский и русский, хотя у вас не будет проблем и с английским языком (особенно в сфере услуг). Многие также говорят на немецком и финском языках.
Географически Таллинн находится на северном побережье Эстонии, на берегу Финского залива. Это ближайший столичный город к столице Финляндии (Хельсинки, 80 км); Латвии (Рига, 315 км) и Швеции (Стокгольм, 380 км).
Длина береговой линии составляет около 50 км, а отремонтированный променад вдоль морского берега в районе залива Пирита служит популярным местом для занятий бегом, ходьбы и езды на велосипеде.
Плотность населения довольно низкая – всего 2551 человек на квадратный километр. Это примерно в 5 раз меньше, чем в Лондоне, и вдвое меньше, чем в Москве.
Самый большой район Таллинна – Ласнамяэ с населением 100 000 человек, а в центральном районе (Кесклинн) проживает около 35 тысяч человек.

Christmas Market In Tallinn 2013-2014 Without Snow
Tallinn's Medieval Old Town takes on an especially magical quality this time of the year as a fresh powdering of snow covers its gabled rooftops and outdoor candles fill its cobblestone lanes with a flickering glow. Though the nights may be dark, winter is when you'll find Tallinn at its most enchanting.
The Christmas Tree on Town Hall Square was erected by the Brotherhood of Black Heads guild already in 1441, making it the first public Christmas tree ever put on display in Europe.
From shopping at the charming, old-fashioned Christmas Market to skating on Old Town's outdoor ice rink to enjoying a cup of mulled wine in a cosy café, every day brings new delights.
The frosty city is further brightened up by a full schedule of festive concerts, a jazz festival, film screenings and other engaging cultural events. Come and experience Tallinn's winter full of magic!
