Tallinn is known for its Old Town which is UNESCO World Heritage since 1997. The origins of the Baltic Sea metropolis date back to the 13th century, when a castle was built there by the crusading knights of the Teutonic Order. But there is also the new and modern Tallinn that exists next to the ancient. It's an interesting combination that constitutes the charme and beauty of the Estonian capital.
