Had a wonderful day in Tallinn a couple of weeks ago which is a wargamers dream. Post on my blog with lots of pictures.

Old Tallinn is very interesting city and offers good inspiration for wargamers. I was there last year but alas, due to some mistake and lack of time  I was not able to visit the museums, so, thanks for sharing the photos!

The last Picture on your blog is medieval restaurant "Olde Hansa" which arranges several happenings in period costumes. (I cannnot comment on food etc quality as I have not tried it).

A tip for those visiting Tallinn: In the souvenir Shops you may find models of Tallinn's historical buildings (in various scales) that might apply to wargamers!

With emotion I read your wonderful report for Tallinn, I had the luck to visit about ten years ago.
As my main trip was to Helsinki, I managed to steal half a day for a ferryboat trip from Helsinki to Tallin.
With only three hours of touring left, I feel fortunate that I visited Toompea and admired the old city, no time available for visiting the museums.
Thank you for sharing this report, as I have the best memories from there.
