In the couple of days we've been here, we managed to see (although not in this order):
- Toompea Castle (We got thrown out because we hadn't arranged a tour in advance.)
- Kiek in de Kok
- Museum of Occupations
- the Town Hall Pharmacy (one of the oldest continuously-running pharmacies in Europe)
- Town Hall
- Mustpeade maja (The House of Blackheads; at least we saw the exterior, but it now houses an art museum that we weren't especially interested in seeing.)
- Estonian Maritime Museum
- Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
- Nigulistekirk (St. Nicholas' Church)
- Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin (Dome Church)
- Holy Spirit Church
- Dominiiklaste klooster (Dominican Monastery)
- St. Catherine's Passageway
- Oleviste kirik (St. Olav's Church)
- Mass at the Cathedral of the Apostles Saints Peter and Paul (Mass was said in Estonian by the bishop.)
Tonight, our last night in Tallinn, we had a really good dinner at Olde Hansa, a total tourist trap, but with really good medieval food, which is not to say I have much of a point of comparison. We've eaten well on this trip; we've had some good Estonian and Russian food.
