Fly from Nice to Tallinn

With its ancient walls teeming with history, the natural charms of its coast, and its unique Baltic traditions, a holiday in Tallinn is anything but run-of-the-mill. Even if there's nothing stopping you from sharing this enchanting city with your family or friends, you’ll find it at its most charming when visiting as a couple.
Its centuries-old streets, lined with artisanal shops, are perfect for wandering hand in hand. Its restaurants, whether they showcase local cuisine or more cosmopolitan fare, are the making of romantic and indulgent evenings out, nibbling off one another's plate and discovering new, unique flavours. Its sites, museums, and monuments are a veritable cultural feast: art, heritage, tradition, and so much more. The banya, Russian equivalent to the Turkish bath, or else the saunas, will provide you an afternoon of well-being, while its numerous nightclubs will lure you in with promises of a wholly different kind of self care.

• Climb up Toompea hill. At 30 metres up, it dominates the city and is encircled by ramparts. Inside these fortified walls you’ll find an enormous castle that brings together the Baroque and the medieval. Today it plays home to the Estonian Parliament.
• Go inside Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Its domes have stood opposite Toompea Castle since 1900. Inside you’ll find renowned golden Orthodox icons.
• Head for Raekoja square, in the heart of All-linn in the Lower Town, the other part of the historic centre. It’s home to City Hall, a huge 600-year-old Gothic building, as well as Europe’s oldest operating pharmacy: the Raeapteek. It opened in 1422!
• Wander Katariina Käik (St. Catherine's Passage) - it’s the most beautiful medieval street in All-linn. Here you’ll find many artisan workshops where they make jewellery, pottery, stained glass, leatherwork, and more.
• Take part in a dance of death - that of Bernt Notke, whose Danse Macabre dates to the end of the 15th century. Displayed in the St. Nicholas Church, this painting is as big as it is captivating, depicting several prominent people of the age dancing with the dead.
• Experience the age of the Tsars at the castle in Kadriorg Park. This Baroque palace was built by Tsar Peter the Great for Catherine, his wife. It is now home to the KUMU (the Estonian Art Museum). The park is one of the most romantic and peaceful places in all of Tallinn.
• Take in one of the most breathtaking views over Tallinn from a table at the Tallinn Radisson Blu. Perched atop the hotel, the lounge and bar dominate the city, from the historic centre to the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Captivating!
• Go even higher up (170 metres to be exact) by visiting the observation deck and café of Tallinn’s TV tower. Once back on the ground, go for a walk in the botanical gardens just nearby.
• Steam yourself! Treat yourself to a detoxifying moment of self-care in a sauna or banya, the Russian equivalent. Estonians can’t get enough! Kalma Saun is the best place to go. Men and women are separate, even if no one is naked.
• Breathe in some fresh, salty air in Pirita, Tallinn’s window to the sea. It’s boardwalk borders kilometres of beach. A short bus trip will take you to Seaplane Harbour Lennusadam, a fantastic maritime museum that will let you visit a real submarine, among other things.
