Estonia: Medieval Tallinn

Score: 70

"Breathtaking."

"Historic pearl of the Baltic states, small but very compact downtown with well-preserved and renovated sights and buildings. Good prospects with booming euro economy of Estonia."

"Cruise passengers descend on the destination in hordes; but old town tours are restricted to walking tours, so this is not as detrimental as bus tours would be. The city has become quite expensive, especially restaurants, and for locals this is a problem. Many historic buildings have been turned into hotels; thankfully, many of those are true to the character of the city and the building."

"Real threat is U.K. stag and hen parties taking cheap flights to Tallinn for alcohol and sex."
