 Estonia’s capital, Tallinn, lies just
53 miles from Helsinki across the Gulf of Finland, midway between
St. Petersburg and Stockholm. The first recorded stronghold was

by the powerful seafaring Danes in 1219. In 1285, Tallinn was
incorporated into the successful Hanseatic League, a German
mercantile group operating in northern Europe during medieval
times. Because of its strategic location, Tallinn experienced many
different occupations over the centuries, which resulted in a
cultural mix that lEnd a unique ambiance to this maritime city.In our century, the proud people of Estonia, along with their
Latvian and Lithuanian neighbors, endured Soviet rule for over 50
