Amarillo Restaurant Tallinn

Advantages: Cheap, served quickly
Disadvantages: My food wasn't great

...On our first night in Tallinn, my sister and I were starving after travelling for so long. Her being a vegetarian made it quite difficult when it came to choosing restaurants and the Tallinn Amarillo Restaurant was the first we came across that we could both eat at. The restaurant is part of a large chain (we saw others in Helsinki, Finland) and is situated in the centre of the city, close to a large park. The views if you sat outside were lovely especially with a slight sunset at this time. We arrived at the restaurant at around 8pm and it was very busy. So busy that we had to sit in the bar instead of in the main restaurant. We were told that it was fine for us to eat in the bar but because of this, we were not able to order from the main menu but instead, had to order from the slightly smaller bar menu. We were also told that there...

Review of Amarillo, Tallinn

  A Tallinn of Two Cities

Advantages: The residue of earlier centuries
Disadvantages: The residue of the Soviet era

...Fortunately, I knew in advance that Tallinn wasn?t going to be the way it looked as we came in to land, or I might have been depressed. The plane?s flightpath brought us in from the east, flying over the dreary sprawl of apartment blocks that disfigures so many cities scarred by a Soviet past. And quite a few without a Soviet past, of course. I knew that amid the sprawl I would find an attractive historic centre ? a World Heritage Site, no less ? with other monuments and places of interest scattered around the outskirts. And so it proved. I also found a clean and prosperous-feeling city, very modern in places, capital of a country, Estonia, that has grown confident in its recently rediscovered independence and is eagerly embracing Western ways.

Review of Tallinn (Estonia)

Park Inn - Central Tallinn

Advantages: Amazing breakfast
Disadvantages: Strange location

...Location This was the first hotel we stayed in when visiting Tallinn and it was only one night. After a long day of travelling, my sister and I didn?t fancy figuring out the Estonian public transport system so got a taxi to our hotel and luckily, it only cost close to ?7. The location of the hotel was a bit strange though and we both looked a little worried about the area it was in as we were driving to it. We needn?t have worried though. The hotel is situated only a 5 minute walk away from the main city centre and a whole range of shops or a 15/20 minute walk from old Tallinn. The hotel itself is down a little ally that I would have never thought to look down in order to find it. Being where it is, the hotel is nicely secluded and quiet as it doesn?t look upon any main roads. Entrance and arrival As we entered the hotel...
