Pictures of Tallinn

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia is a thriving town with a medieval upper part that's been around for centuries and was one of the important towns in the Hanseatic League (a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in Northwestern and Central Europe.) Since independence from Russia in 1991 it has established itself as a centre for start-ups and is the birthplace of SKYPE and an important centre for the IT industry.
