Tallinn, like most European capitals, is a city that is growing rapidly. It is a modern administrative and commercial center of the country as well as an important center of culture and entertainment. There are many modern, even futuristic buildings, luxury shops and hotels. However, the city also has an interesting medieval, perfectly preserved center, which is surrounded by the walls with towers and urban gates. The Old Town in Tallinn has preserved its charming Hanseatic climate thanks to charming tenement houses, cobbled streets and monuments of religious architecture. The medieval traditions of the city are marked by numerous fairs and festivals.
