Tallinn Ferry Port Overview
Tallinn Ferry Port is located on the Gulf of Finland, on the Northern coast of Estonia. Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia. The Ferry Port of Tallinn is the biggest and rapidly developing cargo and passenger port not only in Estonia but also in the surrounding Baltic region.
Although the Estonian civilization is very old, the region has seldom existed as an independent state. Throughout Tallinn's tumultuous past, the city has changed hands many times - from the original Estonians, to the Danes, the Hanseatic League, the Teutonic Knights, the Swedes, the Russians, and the Germans.
A succession of conquerors left their marks on Tallinn city; they constructed fortresses and cathedrals to serve their interests in Estonia. Today visitors can wander through Tallinn, and trace the history of the entire Baltic Sea region.
The areas such as Toompea, Lower town, Kadriorg and Pirita are the older areas of the worth exploring for their architectural abundance. This part of Tallinn is recognised by UNESCO as the world heritage site. You can purchase "Tallinn Card" from the local tourist office which gives the holder access to free local public transport and entry to most attractions.
