Historically, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is unique in terms of its medieval Old Town, characterized by narrow, curved streets and tiled roofs. First records about Tallinn date back to the beginning of the last millennium. During its long and eventful history, Tallinn has been a remarkable centre of craftsmen, artists and merchants in Europe, belonging to the Hanseatic League.

In Tallinn, the weather is usually mild in the beginning of October, averaging 10–12 °C in daytime.
