Tallinn
My trip to Tallinn was so unexpected and for sure it was one of the reasons that I was so cheerful.
A friend suggested me visiting this very charming medieval city but as I would stay only three nights in Helsinki, I completely turned his advice down.
I did everything that I wanted to do in Helsinki in just one day and decided to take a day trip to Tallinn.
I knew that I would stay there basically the whole day and decided to pick an outfit that I would feel comfortable with and elegant. I put a summer blazer one once I would get back to Helsinki only around midnight and the weather could get chilly (I was completely right).
I love white trousers for summers and also to play with colors such as wearing a cobalt blue shirt with a neutral color blazer.
I loved Tallinn and its cobblestone streets, city-walls, churches, cafes and restaurants (I even found a medieval style restaurant).
I felt like back into the ancient times in Tallinn, that is definitely a city to visit.

The old town of Tallinn was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997, for being an exceptional well-preserved medieval northern European trading city on the Baltic Sea.
Lesson learned: you should think twice before refusing a friend’s advice. Thanks Carlos!!
