Youpin Travel Guide: Estonia, One of the Three Baltic States of the Baltic Sea
Youpin will take you around the world, to appreciate the wonderfulness of the outside world. Even if you don't step out of the door, you can appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.
The domed tower, the orange-red roof, and the boundless pine forest – Eastern Europe has always been a place that fascinates Youpin. It's a little like Western Europe, which has been overdeveloped as a tourist destination, and feels more like a pure fairytale world.
When people mention Eastern Europe, many think of Russia. This time, Youpin went to one of the three Baltic States of Estonia.
Estonia is a small country with a population of just over 100,000, but the air here is fresh, and it ranks first in the world in terms of air quality. Therefore, it has the reputation of being a 'lung washing holy land'.

Transportation
Youpin went to Estonia from Finland. It took two hours by cruise ship from the capital Helsinki to Tallinn, costing around 35 euros.
If you want to go to Estonia directly, you can fly directly to Tallinn. However, Youpin recommends using Estonia as part of a multi-country trip in Europe, because Tallinn is very small, and you can explore it in two days.
You can also take the train from Moscow to Estonia, and there are long-distance buses to the Baltic States and Germany. You can check the prices and book tickets on the official website.
Attractions
The cruise ship takes 15 minutes to reach Tallinn Old Town, and you can appreciate its beauty by walking around the entire city.
Estonia is a Baltic country with three sides surrounded by sea, and it is the only city in Northern Europe that retains a medieval style. It is also a place where you can see the sunrise and sunset, and the overall area is not large, and the attractions are also concentrated.
While walking, you can see the Town Hall Square and the center of the Old Town along the way, where many gatherings and festivals are often held.
The Church of the Holy Mother, Tallinn's oldest church, St. Alexander-Nevsky Cathedral, Tallinn's largest Orthodox church, and St. Olaf Church, the highest point in the Old Town, with a ticket price of 3 euros, you can see the beauty of the entire Old Town, and the Times We Had Instagram wall is also here.
The Tallinn City Wall, with a ticket price of 3 euros, it's best to enjoy the scenery from below,
Besides attractions, it's also very comfortable to walk in the small alleys, and all the streets are decorated with beautiful shops and cafes, and the end is the Estonia Gate, the end of the Old Town.
Food
Estonia's specialty food is various grilled meats and seafood, high in calories and very satisfying.
I strongly recommend Rataskaevu 16, the number one popular restaurant in Tallinn, you must make a reservation in advance, grilled meat paired with lemon and avocado, you can taste the freshness of the meat,
Another restaurant, Olde Hansa, is located in Old Town Square, specializing in meat dishes, roasted pork knee with honey beer sauce, and salmon platter are all very good, costing around 40-50 euros per person, unfortunately I didn't take a picture, just took a photo of the store's exterior,
If you miss Chinese food, you can also choose a Beijing restaurant run by Northeastern bosses.
Accommodation
You can consider booking online, with many options, there are modern hotel suites located on the street, and medieval-style guesthouses hidden in the alleys, costing about 800-1000 RMB per night.
Youpin recommends staying in the Old Town, because the medieval atmosphere is not everywhere, and it's also very convenient to go to the attractions and the famous restaurants.
If you want to experience a different European style, you must not miss Estonia, and also come to the world's freshest air, wouldn't that be wonderful?
