Feature Article
Tallinn, Estonia- an introduction
Even the sights and sounds are different in the modern, New Age Tallinn. Ringing mobile phones, the roar of passenger helicopters, mouse clicks, horns honking at rush hour—all notes of modernity that were virtually unknown in the capital ten years ago. It is all, of course, the buzz of a bustling, economically dynamic nation who’s now in the European Union and NATO.
The best way to visit Tallinn is via TallinkSilja Line from Helsinki.
Old and New
Tallinn has been sacked, pillaged and bombed so many times over the centuries, it's a wonder anything from the past survives at all. First there were the invading Danes, then the Teutonic Knights, the Swedes, the Russians, the Nazis, and the Soviets. But the Estonian capital has in fact retained more remnants of its past, and in a more complete state, than the majority of European cities. Tallinn's charming old town—with its kilometers of winding cobblestone streets and storybook medieval houses—is the most obvious example. Other parts of the city are virtual museums of other eras. The Nõmme suburb is a trip back in time to the 1930s, when Estonia was developing fast during its first period of independence; in Kadriorg, you can almost picture Czarist-era aristocrats strolling through the tree-lined streets and garden parks. A less likely attraction is the vast, ungodly Lasnamäe apartment district, which captures the Soviet version of suburban paradise in all its horrifying glory. As time has passed and as the bitterness about Moscow rule has somewhat subsided, things Soviet—like Lasnamäe—have almost become exotic.
While the city remains a living museum, it has also been modernizing at breakneck speed, urged on by a new moneyed class anxious of Estonia, who, for better or worse, want to leave their own mark for posterity. This is especially evident in the city center, where development has been proceeding at a head-spinning pace. New buildings are going up by the month, and old ones are being gutted and refurbished almost daily. Developers have even begun to reconstruct the few sections of the old city that were bombed by Soviet forces in 1944—the surest sign yet that history is being consigned to the textbooks and that progress is now taking precedence.
