Tallinn's Upper Town must offer some great vistas of the city. Let's start the journey up!
The mildly-sloped road made the ascent very comfortable.
Some artists tried to attract your attention with their works.
I suspect this was a garage for horses way back then.
The buildings looked simple, but with different colours, they looked sleek and happy. Of course, the sun helped, too.
Remnants of the city wall are well-maintained. Any archers want to give a shot?
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is the noticeable Russian influence on Tallinn. It looks like it has been renovated. The exterior shone nicely under the blue skies and bright sun.
I think I need to put Russia back on my to-go list.
Tallinn appeared to be a very popular cruise stop in the region. I saw quite a lot of cruise ships, and there were also frequent ferries coming in from Finland. I was a bit surprised how few tourists made it to Upper Town though. Perhaps it was still morning and the hordes were down below enjoying the sights before coming up after lunch?
Nevertheless, less tourists mean more time for me to slowly take pictures of everything and anything.
With some restoration, this house could look much more charming.
From this vantage point, Tallinn seems like a serene, laid-back town.
Heading back into the alleys and streets ...
Doesn't this get you dizzy?
