My next adventure: Porto/Braga (Portugal) – May 2025

Day 7 (Tallinn) – The Old Town vs New Town

It must be said that leaving Stockholm last night through the fjords was probably one of the most awesome views from a cruise ship thus far!

Anyway, one is pleased to report that we docked in Tallinn at the planned port meaning it was a mere 15 – 20 walk to the Old Town in the heart of the city…

Akin to Bruges, the majority of the Old Town comprises of cobbled streets and drop curbs are scarce making it a nightmare for Superbunny plus the pavements become very tight at points! However, if you look beyond this, the area does have stunning architecture!

Now, financial districts, yes one knows that I have a thing for them everywhere I go but they do have their uses as on this occasion. As you might expect reading the above, nearly all the shops and restaurants in the Old Town have steps whereas the New Town with all it’s glass skyscrapers doesn’t thus that’s where we eat.

The New Town is in stark contrast with smooth pavements and drop curbs as you would expect making it much easier to roll around for a wheelchair user…

Tomorrow we dock in St Petersburg in Russia where we will spend 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) touring the city with ‘I Love Travel’ including an accessible boat tour which should be an experience!
