May 24, 2016: Cobblestone roads and walkways are certainly neat looking — but let me tell you — hard to walk on and by the end of the day you and your feet feel it. Most Tallinn city streets and walkways have some combination of cobblestone — the Old Town, pictured here, doesn’t give you a chance to walk on anything else. Old Town is a charming section of Tallinn, full of history, souvenir shops, indoor and outdoor dining and art galleries that amaze. Be careful when you visit — early am is best — as Tallinn is a major cruise ship destination for the Finns, Russians and Scandinavian countries — and thousands of people arrive in the city daily — some day trippers others overnight and beyond. Prices are reasonable (Euro), food outstanding and no small portions, the local beer, vodka and gin all keep getting better the more you consume.
