Any folklore festival deserves a visit. And if this festival is included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO, then this is not even discussed. Therefore, I could not miss the Estonian song and dance festival, especially since our paths with this holiday crossed for the first time ...
Hello everyone! As expected at the end of the year, a person indulges in memories, so I decided to share my memories of how I met the outgoing 2018. And I met him on a ship, or rather, on a ferry, on a mini-cruise from Tallinn to Stockholm and back.
Yachts in the Port of Tallinn. There is nothing easier than a ride from Tallinn to Helsinki, because only eighty-odd kilometers separate these two European capitals. And given that the sea separates them, and shipping companies offer their passengers such a service as a "day cruise"(*), I will ad...
Vilyandi was recommended by a Tallinn taxi driver who once gave us a lift to the airport. Seeing estophiles in his passengers, he spoke so enthusiastically about the beauties of his native town that we immediately put Viljandi on our list of "must visits next time.
Cetinje seemed rather boring to me. If you are not interested in Orthodox values, then, in addition to the famous Cetinje Monastery (the main goal of visiting all local excursions), you can visit the museum - the former residence of the Montenegrin king, wander along the ruins of some kind of fortre...
Tired and satisfied, after a busy day we returned to our Copenhagen hotel. And suddenly, in one of the windows they saw ...a cat. Then another, and another...Yes, it's a cat cafe!
I have always been interested in the question: where did the Tallinn cats go? Tallinn is a seaside city, so you can’t do without cats here (those who have been to Odessa and Istanbul will understand me).
The Keila-Joa waterfall is located only 20 km from Tallinn, and due to its convenient location, it is one of the most favorite places for recreation for residents and guests of the Estonian capital.
"Small Estonian cities are cozy and friendly, " Sergei Dovlatov once remarked. It is easy to agree with this statement when visiting Haapsalu. In this small town, even by Estonian standards, Swedish architecture, Russian bourgeoisism and Estonian sentimentality are wonderfully intertwined.
Here is only a photo. Details and other verbal "delights" here: http://www.turpravda.com/forum/topic. php? id=141575 I hope these photos will help those who doubt to decide on the choice of place and time of rest; )
. . . or "Memories of the Future-2" : ))) Photo from an excursion to Dubrovnik, where I went from Budva on October 4.2013. The tour cost 30 euros, it was purchased right on the embankment near the Slavic beach at the Gardashevich agency.
Despite all the doubts, the rest in Budva in early October turned out to be wonderful. During the day, the air temperature reached + 25 degrees, although in the evenings it was cool + 17-19 degrees.
Estonians joke that if you have not seen a person for a year, then you will definitely meet him on the promenade in Pä rnu - the "summer capital" of Estonia. The journey from Tallinn to Pä rnu takes just under two hours by bus and costs eight and a half euros.
From the old wall to the newest port Fifteen minutes of vigorous walking. Here is the city in shabby but clean boots - A child of the Scandinavian unshaven horde. Centuries flicker over an unthinkable spire - It is worth Olevista, she does not care.
Today I want to talk about Eesti Vabaõ humuuseum - the Tallinn Open Air Museum. This is a skansen museum, where ancient dwellings of Estonians from all over small Estonia, as well as items of their everyday life, were brought literally on a log.
The idea to visit the largest fortress in Ukraine arose a long time ago, but it was finally realized on the May holidays. This is the Ackerman Fortress in Belgorod-Dniester.
I once stumbled upon the blog of a traveler who, indignantly shaking a coupon for improper parking, reproached the Estonian capital: a provincial, they say, dusty town, in the center there is nowhere to even sit down and taste a glass of coffee, and they still fine the unfortunate foreign tourists f...
I want to share with respected tourists the experience of an independent trip to Eger from Budapest. Like most of our compatriots, I first visited this charming Hungarian town during an "organized excursion", which, in addition to visiting Eger, included a visit to Gö del, lunch in an unknown...
On the last day of the "Copenhag Weekend" we faced a dilemma - how to spend time after dinner? To go on a "visit to Hamlet" in the Danish town of Elsinore, or pay a visit to neighboring Sweden, to its "southernmost" city - Malmö .
It all started with the fact that I wanted to go to Tallinn... While I was thinking and wondering where, how and when to go, the already expensive tickets of "Estonian Air" went up significantly in price.
The end of February, winter does not think to give up its positions, the body is exhausted by beriberi... In order to somehow cheer up, I "for a minute" decided to get into the Internet for "positive".
Giverny is a pretty village 80 km from Paris in the Haute-Normandy region, made famous by the artist Claude Monet. The artist noticed this place from the window while traveling by train.

Bran Castle is located near the town of Bran, 30 km. from Brasov, it is a national monument of culture and architecture of Romania. The fortress is located on the border of Transylvania and Wallachia.
The ferry "Victoria 1" of Tallink belongs to Estonia, but I decided to include it in the "Swedish reviews", because there are still few reviews in this part of the site, and the passengers of this ferry are mostly Swedish pensioners : ) So the ferry "Victoria I" of Tallink runs on the route Tallinn-...
