Viimsi: beach holiday just a bus ride away
Even though Viimsi is an easy bus ride away from the center of Tallinn, I decided to make my own mini-beach holiday on foot. I rented a small cottage on the beach near NOA restaurant for a couple of nights, and from there, I loaded my backpack with my camera, to walk north along the shoreline, towards the sandy beach of…

The Museum of Architecture in Tallinn uniquely combines seriousness and humor.
The buildings appear as though they belong in another place and time. While the steep limestone bluff stands uneasily, as though it were lost, the historic building presents itself in seemingly discomfort, apologizing, at the intersection of two busy car lanes.

Best burger in Tallinn – where?
There is no point arguing about taste – or is there? The question of the best burger in Tallinn is sure to provoke at least a lively debate, as there are many chefs and many styles.

Pizza in Tallinn. Naples of the North? So much to choose from!
Not long ago, a pizza in Tallinn was merely a joke. The offering seemed so mediocre that a restaurant goer ended up eating anything but pizza. Would it have been Kaja Pizza who changed everything, but nowadays the situation is quite different. A restaurant after another seems to be getting Italian pizza ovens, learning how to bake the sourdough pizza bottom,…
