Going through St. Catherine's Passage in Tallinn, Estonia
St Catherine's passage is a small medieval street with things on the... uh... nevermind, you'll love it. Here you'll find one of the most medieval looking alleys in the whole of Tallinn, complete with giant tombstones hanging on the walls. And lots of artisan shops, of course.
Why you should visit it
You'll get a true medieval experience in St Catherine's passage, but to find that place you need to be walking north on Vene street, while scanning the walls to your left for a small gateway. If you reach the Kloostri Ait restaurant, then you need to turn around and try again.

Tallinn, Estonia - Saint Catherine's Passage (2018)
Tallinn is the capital and largest city of Estonia. It is situated on the northern coast of the country, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland in Harju County. From the 13th century until 1918 (and briefly during the Nazi occupation of Estonia from 1941 to 1944), in languages other than Estonian, the city was known as Reval. Tallinn occupies an area of 159.2 km2 (61.5 sq mi) and has a population of 450,305.
Tallinn, first mentioned in 1219, received city rights in 1248, but the earliest human settlements date back 5,000 years. The initial claim over the land was laid by the Danes in 1219, after a successful raid of Lyndanisse led by Valdemar II of Denmark, followed by a period of alternating Scandinavian and German rule. Due to its strategic location, the city became a major trade hub, especially from the 14th to the 16th century, when it grew in importance as part of the Hanseatic League.
Tallinn's Old Town is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tallinn is the major political, financial, cultural and educational center of Estonia. Often dubbed the Silicon Valley of Europe, it has the highest number of startups per person in Europe and is a birthplace of many international companies, including Skype. The city is to house the headquarters of the European Union's IT agency. Providing to the global cybersecurity it is the home to the NATO Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. It is ranked as a global city and has been listed among the top 10 digital cities in the world. According to the Global Financial Centres Index Tallinn is the most competitive financial hub in Northern Europe and ranks 42nd internationally. The city was a European Capital of Culture for 2011, along with Turku in Finland.

TOOMPEA Hill in Tallinn | Šnelli Park
Toompea is a limestone hill in the central part of the city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The hill is an oblong tableland, which measures about 400 by 250 metres, has an area of 7 hectares and is about 20–30 metres higher than the surrounding areas. In folklore the hill is known as the tumulus mound over the grave of Kalev, erected in his memory by his grieving wife.
The history of Toompea is closely linked to the history of rulers and power in Estonia. Today Toompea is the center of the Government of Estonia and the Riigikogu (parliament), both of which are often simply referred to as Toompea. The location of the Riigikogu is the Toompea Castle, situated in the southwestern corner of the hill and topped by the Tall Hermann tower. The flag on the top of the tower is one of the best-known symbols in Estonia of the government in force. Ever since the German Knights of the Sword first built a stone fortress here in 1227-29, every foreign empire that ruled Estonia used the castle as its base. The castle has been revamped countless times through the centuries, but still retains the basic shape it was given in the 13th and 14th centuries. From its front, visitors can see a pink, Baroque palace dating to the time of Catherine the Great. A look at its opposite side, visible from the base of the hill, gives a much more medieval perspective.
Toompea is part of the Tallinn Old Town UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Вышгород (нем. Domberg, швед. Domberget, то есть «соборный холм»), или Тоомпеа (эст. Toompea) — возвышенная часть Старого города в Таллине, представляющая собой известняковый холм с крутыми склонами вытянутой формы с плоской вершиной площадью около 7 га (400 х 250 метров). Вышгород на 20-30 метров выше окружающей территории. В фольклоре известен как насыпь над погребением легендарного богатыря-великана Калева, устроенная в его память безутешной вдовой.
В средневековье Вышгород делился на Большое городище, Малое городище и прилегающие территории. В XIII—XIV веках на каменистой возвышенности строится датская крепость — Castrum Danorum. В ней доминирует 48-метровая башня «Длинный Герман» (эст. Pikk Hermann), возведённая в 1360—1370 годах. Национальный флаг на вершине «Длинного Германа» является одним из символов Эстонии. Под защитой крепостных стен находился главный храм средневекового города — Домский собор.
Население Вышгорода было дворянско-феодальным, не занимавшимся торговлей или ремёслами, что определяло особенности застройки Вышгорода в сравнении с торгово-ремесленной застройкой нижнего города. Дворянские резиденции и вся жилая застройка Вышгорода погибли в грандиозном пожаре 1684 года, но затем были отстроены заново.
В правление Екатерины II жилые покои в крепости были перестроены в стиле, переходном от барокко к классицизму, для размещения генерал-губернаторской резиденции. На волне русификации напротив главного входа в губернаторский дворец был построен огромный по размерам православный собор Александра Невского (1900). После обретения независимости в дворцовом комплексе расположился парламент Эстонии — Рийгикогу. Для этой цели в 1930-е гг. была проведена реконструкция: отстроен новый корпус в стиле экспрессионизма; появилось южное крыло, искусно стилизованное под соседние барочные постройки, а перед дворцом разбит т. н. Губернаторский сад.
Среди туристов популярностью пользуются смотровые площадки Вышгорода с видами на Старый город и Таллинский залив. Поднявшись по лестнице Паткуля рядом с домом Стенбока (резиденцией правительства страны), можно попасть на площадку Паткуля, откуда хорошо видно наиболее сохранившуюся часть крепостной стены с многочисленными башнями и церковь Олевисте.

East to West | 世界遺產古城，愛沙尼亞首都塔林+快閃芬蘭體驗傳統桑拿浴！跳進波羅的海 Tallinn+Helsinki vlog! /Vlog#13
波羅的海三小國最北邊的國家：愛沙尼亞????????塔林
塔林擁有最美麗的古城，彷彿時間靜止在中古世紀。老城建築保留完好，到處都有濃厚的北歐氣息，就像是整個時空被搬運到了現代。
由於歷史因素，曾經被丹麥國王、瑞典、俄國、德國統治，大多數的愛沙尼亞人精通俄語、愛沙尼亞語、芬蘭語、英文、甚至德語。
聽到walking tour的導遊說他會4種語言，讓我深深的羨慕呢！
塔林老城區主要以步行的方式即可到達大多數景點，本次影片提到的景點有????：
-凱薩琳通道 St.Catherine's Passage+Masters Courtyard。兩旁的建築完全由石頭堆砌而成，這條通道因通往聖凱薩琳教堂而命名，附近有許多的藝術家的畫廊與住宅，適合愛探險的朋友們去走走
-市政廳廣場 Town Hall Square。廣場是中世紀人們活動、聚會的地方，是城市的中心，歐洲每個城市都有一個市政廳廣場。
-市政廳藥局 Town Hall Pharmacy 。位於市政廳廣場旁邊，是歐洲最古老的藥局之一！
-亞歷山大涅夫斯基教堂 Aleksander Nevski Kathedraal 。俄羅斯東正教風格，是塔林最高大的圓頂東正教堂，它代表了俄國在過去的統治，當地愛沙尼亞人不太喜歡它呢！
-Patkuli 觀景台。藏在加拿大政府機關後面，跟著免費的walking tour通常會帶你來到這裡。從這裡可以拍到塔林的磚紅房、老城牆。
????同場加映????
芬蘭????????赫爾辛基一日遊快閃
塔林隔著芬蘭灣與芬蘭赫爾辛基僅僅80公里的距離，因此當地居民搭乘跨國郵輪往返芬蘭是他們的日常，只有2個多小時的航程！
所以來到塔林的第二天，我和小馬立刻買了票，來個赫爾辛基一日遊。
交通????搭乘郵輪Eckerö Line
因為是臨時決定的，所以來到赫爾辛基沒什麼做功課，而且當天天氣真的很差，一直下雨又冷到不行，想去哪裡都提不太起勁！
在郵輪上抱佛腳查資料時看到很多人推薦芬蘭的傳統桑拿，還說芬蘭人以他們的桑拿為傲，這麼厲害不去真的不行。
這次我們找到的桑拿是座落在赫爾辛基南部的海邊的Löyly桑拿中心，可以體驗芬蘭傳統的
煙燻桑拿（真的蠻煙燻），大家在一個很暗很暗的房間，與木柴燃燒產生的特殊煙薰香味一起蒸。我個人真的沒辦法在這裡面撐太久，覺得真的要被烤焦但又是濕濕的那種很奇特的感覺。
另外一種就是健身房都會有的燃木桑拿????♀️，很舒服。
這個地方最特別的就是當你蒸到一個熱到不行的地步，就可以直接跳下波羅的海冷卻一下自己（相信我真的很冷！）非常特別的體驗，這輩子也沒想過自己會跳進波羅的海????
????記得先提前預約，每次體驗時間是2個小時，他們會提供浴巾，沐浴乳和洗髮乳喔！
