History with geography
Already at the beginning of the 12th century, written sources mention Tallinn, and the author of the geographical work is the Arab traveler Al-Idrisi. He draws attention to the fact that small Tallinn looks like a fortress, but at the same time has a large harbor that can accommodate various ships. The Estonian capital is still the most important cargo and passenger port, from where many cruises in Scandinavia and European countries start.
There is no bad weather
Despite the proximity of the sea and fairly northern coordinates, the Estonian capital can offer its guests quite comfortable weather in any season. Summers are quite warm here and temperature values in July often reach +25 degrees. In winter, there are light frosts, but for New Year's tours to Tallinn this is more of an advantage. Most precipitation falls in July-October, and in the spring months it is usually dry, cool, but very comfortable for walking.
