INTRODUCTION

Once again I greet tourism lovers and this time I want to share with you my impressions of my trip to Tallinn with my wife from 30.10. 14 to 3.11. 14. Just in case, let me remind you that this city is the capital of Estonia, and, as practice shows, not everyone knows this (I myself am surprised, but this is so). As you can see from the title, this was not our first trip to this beautiful city. However, on the previous trip, we were not very good at enjoying its beauties, sights and even entertainment venues. And the thing is that we then fell for the proposal of one unscrupulous turaga (as always, not to be confused with a prisoner), and this proposal turned out to be, to put it mildly, not very good. Although, however, they themselves could have guessed that from December 31 to January 3, you can’t really see the city: after all, on December 31, people usually celebrate the New Year (by the way, that time we celebrated New Year 2011).


, if it's interesting), and on January 1 they sleep off, and sometimes almost until the evening. And if someone doesn’t need to sleep for a long time, then on January 1, as a rule, there is nothing special to do in any city, because almost all establishments are closed, and some are also closed on the 2nd. And on the 3rd it's time to dump, so that there is not a little, but very little time that can be spent sensibly. This time we spent only a day more in the city, but we chose a much better time, although we risked quite a lot: in Europe, November, as a rule, does not indulge in good weather, so the whole trip could go down the drain. But in our case this did not happen, thank you, MTS symbols!

HOW TO READ THE REPORT

By tradition - a little briefing. I immediately warn you that the report will be richly flavored with jargon (or not very abundant - that's how it will turn out), incl.

invented by the author himself, but it seems to be intuitively understandable to the population with higher or not very education (if suddenly something is not clear to someone, ask, I will “translate” : ) ). For those who are more impressed by the book and newspaper language, I would recommend closing this page and reading something else for the soul. I am also sure that everyone knows that reading my report is their right, but not their obligation, but for some reason some people forget about it and then start whimpering in the comments, they say, why did I read all this. In general, I repeat once again: everyone is free to decide for himself whether to read this opus or not. So claims about the style of presentation are not accepted, but various corrections / additions / clarifications ON THE CASE, on the contrary, are welcome. I also inform you that the report will be divided into paragraphs, each of which will be titled. This is so that everyone can choose and read what they are interested in and skip what is not interesting.

In general, for those who have not yet closed this page, I propose to put an end to all this "lyricism" and start reading the report itself.

DOCUMENT REGISTRATION


In my previous reports, I described in some detail how we booked hotels, a / b, and also issued visas and medical insurance, but this time I probably won’t do this: the tourist is now experienced, he knows everything, so these paragraphs will probably be skipped. Well, for what heck, one wonders, then paint all this? Let me just say that this time we already had valid shengvises, and therefore, we did not apply to the Estonian consulate. If someone still does not have a very good idea of ​ ​ how to apply for visas, medical insurance (including online), hotel reservations and / or air tickets, this information can be found in my last at least 5 reports.

A LITTLE Trick

Initially, we wanted to fly to Tallinn from November 1 to November 4, that is, for the holidays.

However, the prices for air tickets for these dates were quite biting, and therefore we decided to go for a trick: since my wife was already on vacation, I also decided to take 2 days off from work on account of the vacation (October 30 and 31), and we we decided to shift and expand a little, i. e. fly to Tallinn from 30.10. 14 to 3.11. 14. There is still an extra day on November 4 before work, otherwise you will get straight “from the ship to the ball”, as the great Alexander Sergeevich would like to put it, somehow into a bastard.

Day 1, Thursday, 30.10. fourteen

We flew to the capital of Estonia by the world's best company Aeroflot. So what? His own, soviet - somehow it is dearer and closer. Just kidding, of course, the stump is clear. They flew, by the way, together with Estonian Air, but this does not play a role. If anyone is interested, the tickets cost us 24.569. 60 rubles. for two in both directions, and we took them literally 3 days before the trip (we tried to take them in advance: what if the weather scratches and ruins all the raspberries? ).

We flew out at 9:15 from the terminator E Sharik, the electronic check-in with the stamp of postalons went through the day before, we didn’t have luggage with us (only hand luggage), so we could take our time on the airfield and sleep longer. Customs, passport control and search went through pretty quickly, the plane took off on time, in general, flew without any problems.

PASCONTROL IN TALLINN

Passport control also passed quite quickly and even without any questions like “how much? ", " for what? ”, etc. Somehow, Estonian border guards treat Russian tourists more calmly than Latvian or, especially, Lithuanian ones.

TRANSPORT FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HOTEL


Before the trip, we read on the Internet that you can get from Tallinn Airport to the city by bus 90K. However, upon arrival at the airport, we found out that this bus had been canceled for about a year, and you can get to the city by bus number 2, which we did. The driver's ticket cost 1.

60 per person (in what currency, I think, it is not necessary to specify; by the way, it is in this currency that all prices will be indicated in the future, unless otherwise specified), and in special kiosks - 1.10 (there are tickets there for more trips with discounts , but since we didn’t use transport there, then, excuse me, we didn’t ask the price). By the way, it’s better not to travel without a ticket in public transport, because they say there are large fines for ticketless travel (I won’t name the exact amount, but those who are interested can always rummage through the internet). We drove, if I'm not mistaken, 5 stops, and in time - somewhere around 15 - 20 minutes (our hotel was located in the old town). There is a timetable in Estonian at the bus stop. And although I almost don’t know Estonian at all (only numerals and words like “hello”, “thank you”, “check please”, etc. )

), I realized that these buses do not run so often (3-4 times per hour), so for those who do not want to wait, there is a great alternative - a taxi. Taxi drivers there, however, seem to have different prices, but the trip back to the airport cost us 8, I’ll say, looking ahead.

MY CITY HOTEL

This is the name of the hotel that we booked at the well-known Booking (as well as air tickets, 3 days before arrival). A narrow-eyed employee was sitting at the reception, either from Kettle, or from Koreika, or from somewhere else from those parts. As it turned out, she doesn’t speak Russian boom-boom, but she speaks English quite tolerably, which turned out to be more than enough for me and my wife to check into a hotel. Then another employee came up, this time speaking Russian, and asked if she needed help, but I replied that we would also agree in English. When checking in, however, there was a small problem: the employees were not aware ...that we had booked a room there at all!


However, they immediately reassured us, saying that there are free rooms and we will be settled anyway. And just a minute later, a "booking" reservation was found. Then we were asked to fill out forms and pay for the hotel, or at least allow us to reserve the required amount on the card. I decided to pay for the rooming house right away, after which we immediately received 2 key cards. We got a room on the 3rd floor overlooking the casino, the building of which resembles a theater (probably it used to be there). I don't think it's the worst kind. When we entered the room and began to get used to it, I noticed that the chest was not a code one, but a key one, but I didn’t know how free it was (for some reason I didn’t look when booking). There was no key in the chest, so I went down to the reception and asked for it from the already mentioned yellow-skinned employee. She immediately handed it over to me, and when I asked if I had to pay for the rent of the chest, she answered eloquently. Well, that's great!

The room is quite spacious (19 squares), cozy and warm, quite decent furniture, soft and comfortable bed. There is an air conditioner with a remote control built into the wall, as well as a rather large Samsung flat-table TV with a USB input (so if the weather is really bad, you can at least watch some movie or some kind of seryaka, previously recorded on a flash drive). We didn’t find out what channels are there, because, firstly, we almost never watch television, and secondly, the weather made us very happy (well, if we make an amendment for November, of course : )). Smoking is prohibited in the room, as the corresponding sign warns: “Thank you for not smoking in this room! In case you still decide to smoke, we reserve the right to charge 200 euros to compensate damages. ” For those who are not familiar with the language of George W. Bush (there was such a prezik in the Stars and Stripes, if anyone has forgotten), it translates something like this: “Thank you for not smoking in this room.

UNOBJECTIVE RAZVODILOVO

On one of the nightstands was a bottle of mineral water, which was offered for a ruble. Moreover, the label with the description of this water and the price tag is quite large, and the bottle itself has a cunningly conical shape, so that under this label it seems to be one and a half liters. In reality, according to the inscription on the label, there is exactly 2 times less liquid there. Next to the sink lay a small plastic duck, which, if desired, could be taken with you for just the same triple. By the way, such a trick is typical not only for this Estonian bunkhouse: when on the last trip we rested in the Clarion Euroopa bunkhouse, there was a knitted lamb on the bed, however, it was already offered for a chirp. And, of course, how could it be without a very common razvodilova called a mini-bar? I even, a sinner, allowed myself to be slightly diluted in this way, drinking 2 scales of whiskey (50 ml each) at 5.10 each.


It was also possible to order some zhrachka and / or Bukhara to your room by phone, but such a service cost either 6 or 8.

FIRST VISIT TO THE CITY

The weather that day was just perfect: the sun was shining and only rare “eternal wanderers” (as Mishka Borzoi would call them) covered the Estonian sky. In addition, it was warm - half a temperature degrees Celsius. We went for a walk along R street? ? tli, which then went uphill, and we ended up in the place where there are as many as 3 observation decks, from which we managed to take good pictures of sunny Tallinn. By the way, next to those observation decks is the famous Niguliste Church (translated like “Saint Nicholas”), where music lovers can listen to organ concerts. By the way, there was such a famous dude who liked to hum on the organ (in the sense of playing music, and not thumping, as many people probably thought; but in general, who knows, maybe he combined business with pleasure : ) ). Bach was his name.

Johann Sebastianovich. And he was from a distant country with left-hand traffic called Denmark.

TOWN HALL SQUARE

After enjoying the views of Tallinn from the viewing platform, we went to the Town Hall Square, illuminated by the sun. What a beauty it was compared to the darkness that we saw on our last trip! Indeed, the weather can very much spoil or, conversely, decorate any view. By the way, we even managed to climb the town hall tower, although, unfortunately, not on the first day of our stay in Tallinn, but on the last, when the weather just ruined the whole view. But okay, about this to the south. On the first day, we walked around the square and the surrounding streets a bit, enjoyed the views, and then decided that it would be nice to celebrate our arrival.

BEER HOUSE RESTAURANT

Since the time was already around 13:00 (and 14:00 in Moscow), it was time to drink a beer.


If we wanted to have some more lunch, we would immediately go to Peppersack, which we liked very much last time, but since we had not yet worked up an appetite, we went to drink beer at the Beer House, which was rather strange, because in Last time we were not happy with this restaurant. I even wrote in a previous report that I heard low-quality tea being said to smell like a mop. But that's what they say about beer...Well, that's exactly how I got the impression about beer at Beer House. Either the establishment then hacked away (they have their own brewery there, by the way) and, having listened to my report, corrected itself (just kidding: ) ), or after a large amount of beer I then perverted my taste, but then I had that feeling. This time, their beer tasted pretty good! I especially liked Medovar Honey (5.50) and I think M? rzen(4). Prices are for containers of 0.5 liters.

In general, beer in this restaurant costs somewhere from 4 to 6 for half a liter, and the most expensive beer (BH Premium) is not the most delicious, in my opinion. Well, since beer awakens the appetite, we also took smoked ribs in spicy sauce for a snack (8). In general, the prices for zhrachka in this restaurant are quite high. The waiter at the restaurant spoke very good Russian. Probably because he was Russian (later we saw his Russian surname in the check).

ABOUT BEER IN TALLINN

During our trip, I was simply amazed by the variety of such delicious beers in Tallinn! In no one, I repeat, IN ONE city have I yet met so many varieties of DELICIOUS beer! Prague, traditionally considered the city of the best beer, just nervously smokes on the sidelines! Moreover, delicious beer is mostly Estonian. Here are a few varieties offhand: "bronze" (red) at Peppersack, K?

nig Ludwig (light unfiltered) and Must Nunn (dark and even translated from Estonian as "Black Nun") in the German restaurant Beer Garden (not to be confused with the already mentioned Beer House), M? nchen (red) in bar P? rgu, etc. And in the Latvian Lido, which has also spread there, you can also drink Latvian Uzhavas, although it costs more there than in Riga. In general, we weren’t even upset at all that we didn’t find a draft Franciscanner there, and we didn’t even look at the bottled one, which was still there. We saw him, by the way (both light and dark), in one of the shops where about 200 beers are sold. I counted such shops there either 2 or 3 pieces.

WALK CONTINUED

After the "Birhouse" we again went to the observation decks, since there were quite a few of them, and made another photo session.


In addition to beautiful architectural buildings and views of the city, we also photographed several crows - both marine and ordinary, "earth-air" (sea crows are called seagulls, if anyone did not know) that fell into the frame. Marine, by the way, hefty, like chickens. On the way to the viewing site, we decided to drink a glass of mulled wine, which was sold there from stalls in triplets. Having taken a sip of mulled wine, I realized that I was faced with a bred, because it turned out to be meaningless. However, later I found mulled wine and meaningful, however, it cost 2 times more. Then we went slowly towards the rooming house in order to find some supermarket and buy mineral water there. However, it turned out to be not so easy!

LIDO RESTAURANT IN TALLINN

Having made a rather considerable circle, we did not find a single supermarket, and even in the visibility zone! Usually there is enough such goodness on every corner, but here - on you!

However, instead of a supermarket, we came across some kind of shopping center, in which, among other things, one of the branches of the LIDO restaurant chain was based. And although we managed to enjoy this Lida 1000 times back in Latvia, we still decided to go there to see how things are in this Lida in Estonia. Well, what can I say: they are worse there. Everything is more expensive there. They took 0.33 Uzhavas there, which cost us half a chip (! ), i. e. 2.50 for a small mug! For comparison: even in the center of Riga, this beer in Lida costs only 2.20, and for 0.5 liters. And a liter mug will cost 3.80 in general! They also took a tuna salad in the form of jelly (in, even spoke in rhyme! : ) ). The piece is so small. For 1.95. In Riga, this cost 1.65.

ABOUT WATER IN TALLINN, MINERAL AND MORE

Having not found a supermarket, we decided to buy a one and a half liter bottle of mineral water at a kiosk for 1.20. And only then, accidentally stumbled upon a supermarket, we bought there, among other things, 1.

A 5 liter bottle of Everest water for only 49 local kopecks. But that's not all: looking through the menu and other papers in the bunkhouse room, I read that tap water in Estonia is very clean and you can safely drink it without fear for your health! So, maybe, well, let her go to the garden - this mineral water?

PEPPERSACK RESTAURANT


After throwing water into the bunkhouse and having a little rest in the room, we decided to dine at the Peppersack restaurant. It was already around 17:00 local time. In general, it is recommended to come to this restaurant by eight in the evening to watch a performance - a parody of knightly battles. But since we did not want to both wait and watch the terrible scenes of violence (and even more so to face the lack of places due to the influx of fans of these same scenes), we decided to go there early. There were more than enough seats, so the waiters welcomed us with open arms.

Many dishes in the restaurant have fancy names.

For example, I ordered a “Recommendation of the swordsmen” (“pieces of beef fillet fried in a wok in chili sauce, with baked potatoes stuffed with herbs and fresh cheese and vegetables” - spelling and grammar preserved) for 19, and my wife - "Vassal's Meditation" ("baked duck breast with pear in anise syrup, mashed potatoes and pumpkin and blackcurrant sauce"). Each of us liked the chosen dish. Well, beer, of course, took. Beer is served there in containers of 0.24 liters and 0.5 liters. Now I will list them with fractional prices: Peppersack light (3.60/4.90), Peppersack bronze (same prices), honey beer and herbal beer (3.90/5.90), as well as some other meaningless beer - the first step towards rubber woman, so as a beer is not even considered. We liked the "bronze" the most. Honey is also okay, but some kind of sweet (you see, a bit too much bee product is added there).

To enter there, you can drop in 2 hryvnias, a coin of 20 cents, fifty dollars, or even a whole Jew, but the machine does not give change. I don’t know how things are with toilets in shopping centers, but on our last trip they were paid. In shopping centers, however, as a rule, you can enter a paid toilet for free: you just need to wait until someone comes out. Toilets in all sorts of bars and restaurants, as a rule, are very decent, in museums - simpler.

ABOUT RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN TALLINN

The situation with the Russian language in Tallinn is, I would say, very good, although worse than in Riga. In Riga, I have not yet come across a single person who would not speak Russian, while in Tallinn only about 90% of the population speaks Russian (to varying degrees). However, those who do not speak Russian, as a rule, speak English, so we did not have a language barrier. Menus in restaurants and inscriptions in museums in Russian, as a rule, are also duplicated.

NATIONAL QUESTION


No matter how much I wrote and talked about the national question in the Baltic countries, it was all useless. Well, the average Russian cannot believe in any way that the attitude towards Russians (well, at least tourists) in the Baltics is friendly. Yes, it was a benevolent attitude, and not a cold accentuated politeness. I would say more friendly than in the Czech Republic. Why is there the Czech Republic - in Russia, people have an attitude towards each other and even worse! We have been to all three Baltic countries and have never, I repeat, NEVER encountered a negative attitude towards us! As for the Estonians, I generally have an opinion that they are very polite and good-natured people. And, by the way, by no means slowed down, as is commonly believed. It would be more correct to say that they do not like excessive fuss. : )

Day 2, Friday, 31.10. fourteen

BREAKFAST IN THE HOTEL

Breakfast at the hotel is quite tasty and varied: red fish, herring, ham, cheese, sausages, vegetables, fried bacon and the same sausages, potatoes, scrambled eggs, just fried or boiled eggs, porridge, all kinds of cereals, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, butter , honey, jams, fresh and canned fruits, etc. There is a coffee machine from which you can pour yourself an espresso or americano. You can also pour yourself semi-chemical juice from an orange, apple, lingonberry and something else. In general, breakfast is like breakfast. By the way, when we booked a rooming house, there was an option both with breakfast and without it (but it seems like with the possibility of getting it for an extra charge of shestak per person per day on the spot). However, no one found out whether breakfast was included in the price of the client's reservation. At least the staff didn't ask anyone for a room number. Looks like everything is calculated on the consciousness of the client.

VIEWING POINT ON THE CHURCH OF ST. OLAF

Otherwise, someone can overestimate their strength and earn some kind of hypertensive crisis, or even a heart attack or stroke. A wooden staircase leads directly from the attic to the viewing platform (there are 15 steps, and they also seem to be included in those same 258). The platform, in addition to the metal sides, is also limited by several rows of wire (don't worry, it's not barbed and stress-free). This is probably to prevent potential debaters from arguing who will stick out the farthest from this site. And then after all, one of them can unexpectedly win. Well, and photographers, sometimes, stick out far in pursuit of a beautiful frame. And the view, by the way, of the city opens really awesome, especially in sunny weather, as it was in our case.


As for medicine, for example, the skull is presented there, and in such a way that all 29 bones of which it consists are visible (well, at least the museum claims so), and other bones and organs. There are special tables for checking eyesight (like in an ophthalmologist's office), and also such an interesting device like a TV with a picture, on which there is an open book with visible text, distant buildings and some other non-key elements. By pressing various buttons, you can see how the world is perceived by people suffering from myopia, hyperopia, cataracts, astigmatism or night blindness. There are also scales, a height meter, a power meter, and also a device that checks how well a person remembers the sequence of different colors. It makes no sense to describe it, because everyone must have passed such a test at least once. At least in the form of a computer game.

All writings in the museum are in Estonian, English and Russian. All in all, a pretty interesting museum.

SOMETHING ABOUT MUSEUM CLOSETS

There are no cloakroom attendants in Estonian museums (or, as a rule, not), customers themselves hang clothes in the cloakrooms, for the safety of which the administration is not responsible, as the corresponding signs warn about. However, the people leave their clothes there anyway: there are not very many thieves there, you see. In only one museum, in addition to the usual wardrobe, I also saw lockers for clothes.

RESTAURANT "AT BABUSHKI"

What, reader, did you enjoy the cultural program? That's good, so you can go back to pub-restaurants (there will still be a cultural program, there will be, don't worry). In general, we decided to go to one restaurant called Vanaema Juures, which translates from Estonian as "Grandmother's". It is located at: Rataskaevu 10/12.

And the interior of the restaurant really corresponds to the name: everything is there like in a grandmother’s house from the times of the terry Sovchis: clocks, an antediluvian TV (just not KVN), an equally ancient electric table lamp, old photos in frames, etc. When we came to this restaurant, it was generally empty, so my grandmother was glad to see us (it just so happened that the owner of the restaurant (or just an employee) was a rather elderly woman). By the way, the grandmother was not alone there, there was another employee, of a younger age. Since before that we managed to freeze slightly on the street, we decided to take a glass of mulled wine. Meaningful, of course. Threesome. Then my wife ordered some kind of pork belly dish with baked potatoes, stewed beets and homemade black pudding (14), and I ordered pikeperch fillet (I like this fish! ) with mashed potatoes and creamy mushroom sauce (13.50). Everything was delicious.


At the end of the meal, my wife ordered another national dessert based on yogurt for a triple, and I ordered a half-liter mug of Saku light beer (tests) and a bottle of the same beer of the same volume, only dark (it’s already tastier). Both that and other beer cost, as well as natsdesertets, on troyak. In general, we liked the restaurant, quite cozy there. We even wanted to go back there to try the signature dish - some kind of roast from the grandmother, but somehow it didn’t grow together. However, if fate brings us to Tallinn again, then we will definitely go.

BEER GARDEN RESTAURANT (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH BEER HOUSE)

As I already wrote, we really liked lunch with my grandmother, but since the time was already such that it was not clear whether it was lunch or already dinner, we decided to walk around the city for about an hour (already, one might say, at night ), and then go drink beer at BEER GARDEN.

In advertising materials, this restaurant is listed as a German restaurant with a large selection of beers, and this pub is located at Inseneri 1. This is if you enter the city through the eastern gate on the street. Vana-Viru, you need to turn right onto the street. Aia, and then, again, right onto Inseneri street (you are unlikely to miss this street, because you will probably see this same beer house there). Well, what can I say, there really are a lot of beers, but there are quite a few German beers in percentage terms. In addition to German, there is English beer, Belgian, Czech dark Goat, but local Estonian still prevails. Going inside, we sat down at the bar, and my wife ordered a German light unfiltered "King Ludwig" (K? nig Ludwig) for 3.40, and I ordered an Estonian dark "Black Nun" (Must Nunn) for 3.70 (both mugs of 0.5 l ). I remember we tried King Ludwig in the summer of 2012.


in Mallorca, in its "German" resort area, however, since I was driving, I could not really taste this beer then. Now I have such an opportunity, and I can say that the beer is really good. But I liked the "Nun" more, and then I drank only her. Since we were not particularly hungry, we ordered only a few light snacks for ourselves: deep-fried crab sticks (4.50) and pork ears (5.50). And then we saw on the menu… fried potato skins! For three. And, probably, because we were already a little tipsy, we decided to try this "exotic". Well, what can I say? The skin is the skin. Even if it's fried. The waiters there all (or almost all) speak Russian, and very well. One of them even received a 5-point rating, as he easily passed the “sorting test” (see the section on PEPPERSACK). The toilet there, by the way, is also quite decent. And for those who like to spoil their lungs, there is a smoking room.

"Swedish" razvodilovo seems to be not practiced there. For those who have not read my report about Stockholm, let me remind you the essence of the “Swedish” unobtrusive tip trick: the waiter, having broken the client’s bill, approaches him with a terminator, inserts the client’s card there and invites the client to enter the amount himself. The client, as a rule, not wanting to feel like the last reptile, introduces a slightly larger amount, and this difference goes to the tip of the waiter. What is the best currency to take? I believe the one in which you receive a salary. If you get it in bucks - take bucks, if you get it in rubles - take it in rubles, they take it there too (just don’t change it at the airport because of the predatory exchange rate; by the way, this also applies to bucks), but if you get it in Jews, it’s generally beautiful ! Yes, even in the exchangers you need to immediately clarify whether there is a kibble, but in Tallinn it does not seem to be very common, unlike, say, from the same Stockholm.

Day 3, Saturday, 1.11. fourteen

MARINE MUSEUM OF ESTONIA


This interesting museum is located at Pikk, 70, and the entrance there is a chirp for two. Or half a chirp for one. True, so somewhere in a kilometer from the museum there is still some kind of harbor, which you can also visit, but in this case the entrance will cost 16 per snout. We, on the other hand, had to go to the harbor as scrap, so we decided to limit ourselves to the expositions located directly in the museum building. Nice museum. You can look at all sorts of ships, cannons, dummies of gunners in appropriate clothes, spacesuits, helms, sea knots, a whale's vertebrae, a captain's cabin and even canned fish, including those with an inscription in Russian. By the way, the signatures for the exhibits are also, as a rule, duplicated in Russian. The museum occupies 4 floors, and on the last one there is an exit to the viewing platform, but the weather that day was already cloudy, so the pictures from there turned out to be not a fountain. Well, the museum itself is pretty good.

CITY MUSEUM

Since the weather that day was cloudy and the city did not look so bright, we decided to dedicate the 3rd day of our stay in Tallinn to museums, so immediately after the Maritime Museum we went to the City Museum, which is on the street. Vene, which runs parallel to the street. Pikk is to her left towards the center (by the way, “vene” is translated from Estonian as “Russian”). Entrance to the museum costs 3.20, and the right to take pictures is still a Jew, for which an orange paper circle is issued, which must be glued to clothes or at least to the hand (so that it is not noticeable in the photos of someone who decides to take a picture in this museum himself) . This museum is also interesting, worthy of attention.

In general, not a settling museum, but very worthy.

BEER GARDEN DOUBLE 2

By 14 o'clock we had already visited 2 rather good museums and decided to go somewhere to have lunch. And where to? Where the beer is good. Where is it good? In Peppersack. But it's expensive there. Therefore, we decided to get better acquainted with the cuisine of the BEER GARDEN restaurant, because the day before we ate almost nothing there, but only drank beer. When we arrived and sat down at a table, a waitress came up to us, speaking very good Russian, and before she went for the menu, I ordered King Ludwig's wife, and Black Nun for myself, to which the waitress replied what a great choice. For a meal, we ordered a salad with lamb loin (8.50), pike-perch fillet with lemon risotto (13) and mushroom soup (5.50). I also wanted to order a salmon soup with shrimp, but because

we drank quite a lot of liquid (you understand that we didn’t limit ourselves to two mugs of beer), I decided to leave this matter for later, but it’s a must to try this soup (and not in vain, I’ll say, looking ahead). The waitress was also very helpful: when she saw that we were running out of beer,
