Day Trip to Talinn part II - Old Town (Upper and Lower)

This post will be light on narrative and heavy on photos. I took ~90 pictures while wandering around Tallinn's old town. Tried to edit myself and maybe feature ~25 of them. The thing is that everywhere you turn around town reveals another incredibly charming scene. Nothing wrong with just strolling around and enjoying the medieval scenery, am I right? So after my initial approach I did find Fat Margaret and used her as my entry point to the town.

Then with Fat Margaret behind me, I made my way down Lai toward Nunne.

And soon found my way to the Patkuli Stairs, which you can climb up for view and access to upper old town (aka Toompea).

Caught sight of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

So I kept going in that direction for some more obligatory pics of that area as well as the Governor's Garden behind the castle and parliament.

Came down through Lühike jalg Gate. I think.

And then bounced around the streets of Lower Town, taking a variety shots of the photogenic intersections, plazas, and boutiques.

In an ideal world I'd have had one or two nights to spend here and Judy would be walking around with me, ducking into the shops and trying some of the food. Maybe another time.

Next post will cover the Balti Jaama Turg and Creative City areas.
