The Changing of the Seasons

What a sum-mer it has been! The

weather seemed doubtful a few months back, when it snowed one day in June. Midsummer passed with the same rainy and cold weather one comes to expect year after year. Then it all changed. As we approached the Song Festival weekend, the weather turned for the better. The sun came out, the temperature rose about ten degrees and the Song Festival finished with a very sunburnt Estonian population walking back from the Song Festival Grounds. Then the summer weather continued: beautiful days followed by more beautiful days, followed by, you guessed it, more beautiful days.

One might say that Estonians only seem to talk about the weather, but if you live in a country that is dark and cold most of the year, beautiful summer weather is something of a big deal. But, as I write this the days are quickly getting shorter and the weather, just a little colder. The hoards of tourists are starting to come in smaller numbers and the patios and ter-races are closing one by one.

September is a time for reflection and for new beginnings; the end of the summer, and the start of a new a new school year. It’s harvest time. The annual autumn festivals are beginning. This is one of the better times to visit Estonia, for just these reasons mentioned above. Flip through the pages of this month’s issue for a guide to everything that is going on this month in Tallinn, and throughout the count-ry. We also have a guide to manor houses in Estonia. What better way to spend a weekend than at one of Estonia’s restored manor houses, many of which have great restaurants too. Turn to our nightlife page for all the details for a great evening out. And look at our restaurant page for all the latest details about Tallinn’s new restaurants.

Happy travels!

Viewing Platforms

Kohtu Platform - offers one of the best views of the Old Town. The impressive tower of the Niguliste Church seems at arms length. The red tiled roofs with white edges are cha-racteristic of Tallinn. Tallinn B1.

Patkul Platform - shows both a view of St Olaf’s Church, and part of the city wall. The church was even taller in medieval times and the tallest buil-ding in the world in its time. Nowhere else can you see the city wall from a better angle. Tallinn B1.

Kiriku Platform - the platform at the end of Kiriku Street faces west and offers a view of splendid and roman-

tic sunsets. Tallinn B1.

Raekoja plats

Tallinn’s Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval town hall square and was built at the beginning of the 1400s.

Tallinn Old Town H 1-2.

Blink and you might miss this narrow passageway off of Vene. Built in 1246, St. Catherine's Monastery (Püha Katariina klooster) is the oldest buil-ding in Tallinn. This passageway is also known as the Latin Quarter of Tallinn, and where you can find one of Tallinn’s first Italian restaurants. Tallinn Old Town H 2-3.

The Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, which still operates in its original loca-tion, in the Town Hall Square. Tallinn Old Town H 1.

The Tall Hermann Tower (15th century) on the southwest corner of the hill, and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify independence and freedom for Estonians. Today, Toompea is the centre of Estonian government and the Rii-gikogu (parliament). Look for the pink building behind the Russian Orthodox Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Tallinn B1.

The Kiek in de Kök tower is the entrance to historical underground bastion tunnels. In Soviet times they were supposed to serve as bomb shelters and protect the communist elite in case of a war. Kiek in de Kök means, “look into the kitchen”

in Low German, as this was one of the main things soldiers spent their time doing while on the lookout for intruders. Kiek in de Kök dates back to the 15th century. The tower is 38 metres tall, and the walls are four metres thick.Komandandi tee 2, Tallinn B1.

Climb the stairs of the St Olaf Church and you will discover not only the lower town beneath but also the magnificent palaces facing the slopes of Toompea Hill, and the upper town. The old town of Tallinn is divided into a lower and upper part. The lower town was inhabi-ted by hanseatic traders and the upper town, or Toompea was inhabited by nobility. Lai 50, Tallinn Old Town E2.

A fascinating museum about Soviet his-tory in Estonia is located on the top floor of the Viru Hotel. The hotel rooms were under KGB surveillance. The rooms were equipped with micropho-nes, and small holes were made in the walls, where cameras could be placed to take pictures of hotel guests.

The museum is only accessible by gui-ded tour. Tours run daily and are held in English, Finnish, Russian, and Estonian. English tours book up quickly so boo-kings are recommended. Viru väljak 4, Tallinn B2.

Fat Margaret (Paks Margareeta) is the most important fortification tower in Tallinn. She was built in the early 1500s. The diameter of the tower is 25 metres and the walls are up to 6.5 metres thick! She was constructed to protect Tallinn from intruders from the sea. Fat Margaret is often the main entrance gate and first encounter for visitors to the Old Town in Tallinn, if arriving by sea.

Three lines run daily, and best of all, each one passes through the Port of Tallinn, making it even more convenient. The tour operates in ten different languages and is guide by a recorded audio track that follows the sequence of the sights. One ticket is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can travel on all three routes in one day. If you purchase a 24-hour Tallinn Card then your journey on the Tallinn City Tour is free.

A quick history of the city of Tallinn

Outside of the Old Town

Kalamaja (Fish house) is a historic suburb filled with wooden houses and old factories. From the 14th cen-tury, Kalamaja has served as Tallinn’s main fishing port and was home to fishermen and fishmongers. When the railroad connected Tallinn with St. Petersburg in 1870, many factories opened. The colourful wooden hous-es you still see today were built in the 1920s and 1930s to house the grow-ing working population. Kalamaja has seen a revival over the last few years as artists and other bohemian types moved in for the large spaces and cheap rent. Restaurants and cafés began to open, and the area con-tinues to grow .

Have you ever seen the hull of a real submarine from below? Or better still, crawled through the narrow liv-ing and working quarters of a fully refurbished sub from the 1930s? The submarine Lembit was one of two Estonian submarines built in the UK in the mid 1930s. Another sight is an authentic replica of the Short Admiralty Type 184 seaplane, a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo carrying folding-wing seaplane used in the Estonian war of Independence in the early 1920s and later for mail service. The museum is located in the former seaplane hangars built during WWI

by the Russian tsar. The construc-tion is architecturally unique since it was the largest armoured concrete ceiling in the world at the time of construction.

Küti 17 / Vesilennuki 6, TallinnBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city cen-tre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail.

Patarei Prison gives an eerie glimpse into gloomy Soviet era prison life. For a small entrance fee you can take a self-guided tour through the dark halls of this old sea fortress that has served as barracks, and then as a prison during Soviet times.

Kalaranna 2-2aBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city cen-tre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail, just before the Seaplane Harbour.

Kadriorg Park is the area that houses the Presidential Palace (Presidendi kantselei) and the Kadriorg Palace (Kadrioru loss), and the KUMU Art Museum. (All located on Weizenbergi). Kadriorg means Catherine’s Valley in Estonian, and dates back to the 18th century. The park and the palace were built by Peter the Great, who apparently helped in its building. As was cus-tomary at the time, the main house was named after his wife. There are plenty of other things to see in this beautiful and prestigious park. From the Kadriorg Palace, head straight along the park trail to the Russalka monument, located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The famous Song Festival Grounds (Lauluväljak) are only a short walk from the park as well.

Pirita is an area located a short distance to the east of the city centre and offers a variety of things to see and do. Start by visiting the ruins of St Birgitta’s Convent ruins (Pirita klooster) whose colourful history dates back to the 15th century. A stroll through the ruins and the surrounds, including the small cemetery, is a moving reminder of the past. Its proximity to the Pirita River and the beach makes it perfect as part of a day excursion. The 2km long beach can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day in summer. Also located a short distance from the beach is the city’s Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) and the famous Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn), which is a must see as it not only pro-vides a number of interactive exhibits but also offers one of the best views of the city and the district. A starting point for information on these can be found at:

St Birgitta’s Convent ruins (Pirita klooster)-Kloostri tee 9, Tallinn

Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn) - Kloostrimetsa tee 58A, Tallinn

Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) - Kloostrimetsa tee 52, Tallinn.

Visitors can catch a glimpse of the Estonian countryside and village life from the past. The venue has a dis-tinctive rural atmosphere that includes various farm buildings as well as its own church, tavern, and schoolhouse. Several mills, a fire station, fishing net sheds, a dancing area, and a village swing add to the character of the place. Some of the country’s iconic windmills can also be seen. Various demonstrations, displays and interactive activities help bring the past to life and provide visitors with a fun and educational experience.

T roika has been an insti-tution in Tallinn for Rus-sian cuisine. Those who have been, have certainly

enjoyed the show that goes along with the pouring of the vodka, and the traditional Russian dancing. Troika’s café, located just outside of Tallinn’s Old Town is also worth a visit for a more casual dining experience. And while the weath-er stays warm, the large patio is a great palce to people watch.

Kohvik Troika has the same warm service you would expect from their Old Town location. The menu is more extensive than you would expect from a café. There is a great selection of soups and appe-tisers to start, including a salad bar option. Kohvik Troika is also good for dinner, which is when we vis-ited. You can choose from a selec-tion of dishes –from dumplings to pierogies, pancakes to classic Russian dishes. In other words, it’s

good to come with a few friends so you can try a little bit of everything.

On our visit we started with the salted pickles that came served with sour cream and honey. Have a shot of vodka with these to whet the appetite. We tried the pan-cakes with caviar and sour cream, as well as the pancakes with mush-room sauce. The presentation was unexpected. The pancakes with mushroom sauce came packaged in little bundles and the pancakes with caviar were served as cones that presented each of the ele-ments of the dish. Be sure to save room for the dumplings. Kohvik Troika has many different types of dumplings, including even bear meat dumplings. The dumplings come served in a broth with a selection of sauces on the side.

Main dishes include the Emperor’s Salmon, Chicken Kiev, and a Filet a la Stroganoff, among others. Prices are reasonable, with main dishes all costing below 13. ■

Casual Russian Dining

Everyone’s favourite Russian restaurant now

has a café.


T he restaurant takes its name from the old fac-tory building in which it is located. The Fahle

name comes from Emil Fahle, a German born man who arrived in Tallinn at the age of 20 with only five roubles in his pocket, or so the story goes. He was a smart and con-fident person who became the dir-ector and principle shareholder of the Fahle paper mill, thus becoming one of Tallinn’s most known and influential businessmen.

Fahle Restaurant & Café has had great success because if its multifaceted service approach. At lunch, the café is full of locals enjoying a meal at their lunch breaks. Fahle offers a short daily menu in addition to their regu-lar menu. The daily menu usually includes a soup, and main dish.

Service is excellent at Fahle. During the busy lunch period, drinks and food were served very

quickly. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, and treated everyone as a regular. Bread and butter, along with oil and vinegar are available from the side table, to which you help yourself at lunch.

For lunch, I decided to try the goat’s cheese salad. It was served with pine nuts, melon, and straw-berries. The sweet and salty com-bination of the fruit and cheese was a match made in heaven. If you are going for dinner and have a little bit more time for a longer meal, be sure to try the beef tartar, made with Estonian beef. Then have the duck breast as a main, which comes served with a wild cherry sauce.

Fahle is also available for book-ings for large groups, where you can organise dinners and meet-ings. There is also a cigar room. ■

SelfVäike-Karja 8, Tallinn Old Town I2This is Tallinn’s first gin bar and tapas restaurant combination. It’s a great place to come for an aperitif and some light snacks, or try something more filling. Chef Angel Alonso is from the south of Spain, so you can expect good seafood. We have yet to try it, but have heard nothing but good things so far.

FrankSauna 2, Tallinn Old Town I2At long last, a bistro in Tallinn, or is it? Frank’s extensive and interesting cocktail menu makes this place a good destination for a drink or two, once the evenings get cooler. The food menu offers a full English breakfast, available all day long, as well as a great selection of burgers and sandwiches. We tried the steak with green peppercorn sauce. Be sure to specify how you would like it cooked; otherwise you will get it quite well-done. As a side, you can’t go wrong with the steamed spin-ach with garlic.

TokumaruEstonia pst. 9, Tallinn (Solaris 2nd floor) B2Brought to you by the guys behind Momo, a Japanese food store offering daily lunch specials (J. Kunderi 29, Tallinn), Tokumaru is Tallinn’s latest Japanese restaurant. Tokumaru specialises in ramen, but there is also a good selection of sushi to be had. The interior is mod-ern, and if you can take your focus away from the large open kitchen, a wall of windows offers a nice view.

V – Vegan RestoranRataskaevu 12, Tallinn Old Town H1Vegetarians and vegans need not fear having to eat only potatoes while visiting Tallinn. V is Tallinn’s first vegan restaurant, offering as range of raw and cooked veggie dishes. There is also a good range of gluten-free dishes. On our visit, we tried the mint and pea puréed soup as a starter, which was then followed by a properly spicy tofu and veggie dish.

KanalaKalasadama 6, Tallinn A2.

Starting at the tip of the Cultural Kilo-metre, Kanala is a fine outdoor bar, set up in a former workshop space next to Kul-tuurikatel, which is going to be a fascinat-ing cultural incubator. For now, though, we have the more down to earth thrills of

Kanala, where anything can happen. There have been guest DJs, theatrical perform-ances in the adjoining Kultuurikatla Aed, pizza workshops, and baked potatoes to help line the stomach late at night. I was in a hot tub here at 5am at the beginning of the summer, in an example of a very Estonian pleasure.

Klaus KohvikKalasadama 8, Tallinn A2.

After the summer season passes and Kanala winds down, Kohvik Klaus is a classy place to pass the late evening, and although the service leaves little to be desired, book in advance and you can sample some fine wines and excellently prepared salads, overlooking one of Tallinn’s finest views, the northern coast. The sofas are comfortable; the full-length windows allow you to keep warm while viewing the impressive landscape.

Kultuurikatel Põhja Pst 27a, Tallinn A2.

Next to Kanala is another nightclub set in an old industrial building. This small build-

ing, with a smoking area and garden outside, hosts parties all year round, and is the perfect place for checking out hipster trends while enjoying some brilliantly-curated music, which, depending on the night in question, might be old-school ’80s rap, modern-day industrial music, or anything in between. The space is often hired by companies or groups for special parties, and although it can be closed depending on the day, you can be sure of a great party. Take cash, as though the drinks are cheap, they have no card machine.

ProtestMere Pst 6a, Tallinn A-B2.

Walking into the Rotermann Quarter, those converted mills now housing trendy offices

entertainment

One thing you’ve got to remember when planning a night out in Tallinn is to plan according to your budget. Get drinks for you and your friends at the cheaper bars, and the more expensive

places begin to seem like better value. There are plenty of nice bars that won’t chew up your salary but are a nice change from the Old Town norm. You can find fun at night in a whole host of places, in a short walk from the Kala Sadam to the Rotermann Quarter.

a restaurant in the Old Town. They had a great selection of beers and fantastic food, but the best part was that we got to sit together at one big table!

and swanky shops and restaurants, you might usually make a beeline straight for one of the brightly-lit cocktail bars. On this occasion, don’t. You want your money to last all night? Go to Protest. One of Tallinn’s liveliest bars, it’s been running, in pretty much the same shape, for the entire three years I have been in Tallinn. Customers know what they will get when they come here - locals know to come here because it stays open all night and sells beer and spirits at a reasonable price. It also stays open late at weekends. Get your drinks rounds done here - it’s cheaper than Hetk, where you’ll go next, and Protest is a fine place for drinking and conversation to come together.

Protest has comfy sofas, but it can also get very crowded at weekends, so make sure you have sharp elbows on the way to the bar. Also, if you’re a tourist, be aware this is an unvarnished experience - this is a drinkers’ bar, where the conversation is good and the music not too loud, but you have to be respectful of local traditions and customs when chatting to your mates. If you do that, you’ll make friends and have a fine time - just like I did when I came to the bar as a holidaymaker four years ago.

Hetk Roseni 9, Tallinn B2

The on-pointest of the on-point, Hetk opened last year with a new look, the

building having previously played host to a hard-to-love dive bar. The difference could not be bigger with what we have today. Hetk is a comfy bar with big sofas on the lower floor, exceptionally good bar-food, and an upper floor that is even more favourable for chatting, the bench seating encouraging groups to get together. The bar, right from the start, sold itself on the way it chose the best local DJs. This is still true these days, and although you may have to pay up to 10 on a day when a big name is behind the decks, it’s well worth it when you get inside. It may attract Tal-linn’s hipster population, but it’s a place for everyone. The only drawback is that the drinks - including a vast selection of imported beers - are expensive, but people come here to dance, and as it can be so hard to make yourself heard in the echoey shell of a building, that’s what you should do - maybe in the bar’s vast outdoor area on a warm evening. ■

Most of the Baltic German owned

manor houses are located in Esto-nia. Together, there are 1245. If you add church manors and manor dairy farms, then that number rises over two thousand. About one third of these manor houses have been preserved.

The history of Estonian manor houses dates back to the thir-teenth century, when the cru-saders reached the coast of the Baltic Sea. The first 500 manor houses were built while churches were being built at the end of the Middle Ages. Of these, about 100 were suitable as stone forts, but were later destroyed during the war in the 16th century.

Construction of the mighty estates began at the end of the 18th century and continued for about 150 years. The architectural style of the manor houses is comprised of baroque, classicism, and jugend.

The manors were assigned to noblemen, who ruled almost the entire land, and one of their best sources of income was the sale of vodka to the Russian army. The heyday of the manors lasted until the beginning

of the First World War. The first attack on the manors was in 1905 when sailors and workmen rebelled and destroyed about 150 manors. Estonian independence in 1918 and the land reform of 1919 saw the end of the manor rule, and their owners were left with more than a few hectares of land and the main houses. Some of the manors were turned into parish houses, schools, and kindergartens. Toget-her, 60 of the profit yielding land was

transferred throughout the country, including, for example, 225 vodka factories.

The link to the historical owners was broken in 1939, when Germany called the manor lords and their families closer to Poland.

During the Soviet period, many of the manors were divi-ded into apartments, while at the

beginning of the

1960s, renovation of the manor houses began again. When Esto-nia regained independence, the ownership of many of the manors changed hands once again. Toget-her, 414 manors have been res-tored to their original glory. Of those, about 100 are in peak con-dition and are being used as priva-te homes, schools, parish houses, museums, accommodation, and

restaurants. ■

Located on the fourth floor of

the Viru Keskus, the manager of Tool ja Tee, Kaja Heinsalu, got the idea for the massage centre from Asia. “There are people that have become used to going for a foot massage while shopping”.

Elve has worked as a masseuse for four and a half years. She says

that there are about 95 visually impaired masseurs in Estonia. Tool ja Tee is the only massage parlour where you can be massa-ged by a blind person.

Tool ja Tee’s most popular mas-sage is the relaxing foot massage, which is perfect to enjoy while shopping. The half hour procedu-re massages every toe and muscle. “Feet reflect the person. There are

many sensitive areas in the foot”, explains Elve.

After the summer, weary feet are warm and soft. During your foot massage, you are offered her-bal tea, which just goes so well with the massage.

The half body massage goes from the buttocks to the neck. Elve’s technique is professional and strong. After working behind

a desk all day long, a massage lea-ves you feeling nice and relaxed.

Elve’s hands will also massage your neck, back, and hands. After any massage you will feel warm and calm.

Tool ja Tee gets bonus points for their tranquil atmosphere. You almost forget that you are in Tallinn’s city centre in a large shopping mall. ■

Freya Estetica beauty salon is located in the heart of Tallinn, close to Viru väljak in the Old Town. The wide range of packages includes everything from permanent make-up to all the latest beauty and well-being treatments.

The Baltic Guide went to find out more about the skin rejuve-nating Exilis procedure. This pro-cedure can be used for the face, neck, and even the entire body. This ultrafast and safe skin lifting and rejuvenation procedure redu-ces fat and cellulite.

It is a combination of thera-peutic radio frequencies, ultra-sound and cooling. After just two hours, wrinkles on the face and neck were visibly reduced. For the best results however, regular visits are recommended.

After the initial facial cleansing, your skin feels warm, but is coo-led soon thereafter. The procedu-re is entirely pain-free, as opposed

to mesotherapy. Both procedures affect the underlying layers of skin. After the procedure, drinking water is recommended.

The Exilis procedure starts at 40. Skin feels more elastic and wrinkles are reduced. Four pro-cedures for the face and neck cost 476. ■

TEXT MIKKO VIRTA, PHOTOS BALLOON TALLINN

Take-off is located near the

A Terminal. Balloon Tal-linn’s manager Sigre Luts recommends that as soon as you see the bal-loon in the air, make your way over there. The weather is unpredictable in autumn. “While the balloon goes up and comes down in the mor-ning, sometimes the wind can be strong at midday and we won’t be able to go up”.

The balloon can fly with winds up to 24 knots. Bal-loon Tallinn’s team will keep an eye out on the weather and run test flights throughout the day.

The flight lasts about 12 minutes, during which time the balloon rises to 120 metres. Thirty people can fit into the basket at one time, though with stronger winds, less people are allowed.

The view opens as you go up. You can see Tallinn’s Old Town, as well as over the Gulf of Finland. The 124 metres high tower of Olev-iste Church seems rather low from the balloon.

“If the weather is clear, you can even see all the way to Helsinki”.

Are there risks? “Yes, of course. The balloon has the same risks as

with any flight”, explained Sigre Luts.

The balloon is attached to the ground with a cable, which can hold up to 42 tonnes. This is controlled electronically from the ground. There are also staff in the basket.

The material of the balloon is bulletproof, meaning that it won’t break easily. The material is the balloon’s most expensive part”, explained Sigre.

The balloon is made in the UK at Lindstrand Technolgies Ltd fac-

tory. The company’s creator is Per Lindstrand from Sweden,

who made a record flight with a hot air balloon

over the Atlantic Ocean and earned fame for

designing one of the lightest aircrafts.

The balloon in Tallinn is not a hot air balloon, but is lifted from the ground with helium. The dif-ference between a hot air balloon and a helium bal-loon is big. “A hot air balloon makes

a journey from one point to another.

The length and final destination of the

flight are usually esti-mated, because the hot

air balloon is very sensitive to wind. There is no fire in

the helium balloon, as there is in the hot air balloon.

A flight with Balloon Tallinn is easy and even children are allowed. “The basket is even wheelchair accessible”.

The balloon is the only one of its kind in Northern Europe, the closest balloon is in Krakov.■

Tallinn’s public transport system consists of trams, buses, and trolleys. All three

use the same ticketing system. In 2013, a smartcard ticketing system was

introduced. If you plan on using public transport more than three times, this is

your best option. Smartcards can be purchased and topped up at R-Kiosks and

are transferrable. The Tallinn Card also allows you to use public transport for free.

Both cards must be validated by touching them to the orange card reader.

Detailed route plans are displayed at all the stops, or plan you journey ahead of

time on-line at: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee
