Estonia

Planning a city break to Tallinn with a little one? We just got back from our trip with Jamie, who's about to turn 18 months, and let me tell you, it's a wonderfully family-friendly city! While a medieval Old Town might not immediately scream "toddler paradise," we found plenty to keep our little adventurer entertained. Here are some of the things Jamie absolutely adored, and our top tips for making your trip smooth:

Tallinn's medieval Old Town is one of Europe's finest and proudly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can easily spend a day wandering through cobblestone lanes that wind past beautifully preserved pastel-coloured houses, all culminating in the grand Town Hall Square, a historic hub surrounded by mighty stone walls and defensive towers. It's no wonder that Estonia's capital is known as the Pearl of the Baltic.

What truly sets the Eat Like An Estonian experience apart at Tore Toit is that you are joined by chef Reilika herself for the duration, while she explains the recipes, when these dishes would typically be eaten, how she cooks for her own family and where the food comes from in the country.
