"An absolute jewel," is how one Brit joyfully
described Tallinn's medieval town to me. An absolute tourist trap would be more
like it. True, it's a virtual postcard and charming with an Indian, Italian and
Irish restaurant lining Town Hall Square, all ridiculously expensive and
accepting only Estonian Kroon (EEK). Don't fret though, a few steps from "the
best-preserved medieval town hall in Northern Europe" (circa 1320) is
McDonald's. Most entertaining, however, was a confrontation at the local Pride
Parade by a handful of anti-gay protesters holding amusing placards
(photo).
