The capital, its medieval towers and the limestone coast.
13 museumsHarju County is Tallinn and the coast around it: cliffs, waterfalls, manor houses and fishing villages.
Start in Tallinn, where the old town is one of the best-kept medieval towns of northern Europe. See Estonian art at Kumu, the ships and submarine at the Seaplane Harbour and the farmhouses of the Open Air Museum. Outside the city, the limestone cliff of the north coast drops into the sea, and the Keila and Jägala waterfalls are wide and low. Lahemaa National Park, just east of Harju, has manor houses such as Palmse. Eat smoked fish by the sea and black bread with everything.
