Estonia

Estonia a beautiful and is quite surprising former USSR country

The historical center ot Tallinn is a World UNESCO Heritage Sight

It is a walled city

Fresh flowers are being sold next to the one of the gates

The historical center is very european

The very center of Tallinn is the town hall square

Old center has a lot of causy streets

The streets are made mainly from cobblestone

BMW R NineT parked in center

The old buildings around the center used to be with wooden exterior like in Norway nowadays

A typical thing about Tallinn is the entrance to basements from outside

The spherical obstacles are used to protect from cars

Estonian flag has cool colors

For the first time it has been raised on this tower

Generally all frags in Tallinn are supported by 90 degree structure for better visibility, like in Belgrad

Estonian number plates are of typical European style

Police in Estonia is called Politsei

Like in all Nordic countries some traffic sights are bent for better visibility

Estonian like Finnish is sometimes completely unpronounceable

Tallinn hosts the oldest and still operating pharmacy in the world

Estonian post-boxes are of orange color

As Estonia is a former USSR country, the typical soviet architecture can be seen as well

as well as soviet hatches

The trash bins are of the same model as in Edinburgh

But city doesn't have a single type of trash bins

Surprisingly the main bus station in the center is underground

Tallinn has also a small district with sky-scrapers 

where also the Armenian Apostolic church of Estonia is located

In the garden Armenian Khachkar is installed

In Tallinn there are several Armenian restaurants, among them Sevan offers great menu

Tallinn has a super promenade, which is great for morning walk

The Russian influence on architectural style is noticeable

One of the best snacks to try in Tallinn is this "Croissant" like thing, which can be found at any Rimi supermarket chain

Tallinn airport seats are quite colorful, and I would say this the most interestingly organized airport in the world

But from outside the building is quite boring
