This was back in the early 2000's. I think its legal to visit now. Back then, there was still papers and blueprints in russian laying around. I snagged one of the blueprints and still have it. But Estonia in general is fantastic. Tallin has an old town that is the best old town Ive ever seen. Unfortunately, it is over run with tourist now....we went back 3 years ago. We went to Latvia and Lithuania on that trip and its one of the best trips we've taken......and dirt cheap.

I did those three countries (the Baltics) along with Poland and the Czech Republic 2 summers ago.
Poland was awesome, and I fell in love with the Baltics! I will definitely go back one day!

I lived in Latvia from 2002 to 2004. Riga is fun, but Talinn is absolutely beautiful. You're 1,000% right about the old town. It being on a hill overlooking the water makes it nicer than Riga, for me anyway.
