Jess and I have visited Vienna in Austria a number of times, and it’s always a city that we are excited to visit. It’s a fantastic place for culture lovers, having played home to such icons as Mozart, Haydn, and Strauss. It was also the seat of the vast Habsburg empire, which for a time […]

1 Day in Tallinn: Itinerary Ideas
We almost didn’t get to spend a day in Tallinn. Waking at 5.00am on a January morning in Helsinki, we looked outside to see flurries of snow and temperatures well below freezing.
