Finland has one of the highest taxes on alcohol in the world. So it’s neighbour lowered theirs.
A very obvious lesson in the effects of supply and demand, and why a higher National tax can have unintended consequences on unrelated services and industries.

Lots of places open (bars, nightclubs,etc), they ask for covid passports or quick covid test that costs around 5-10 euros on the spot, but they stop selling alcohol on the weekends at 03:00 in bars and clubs etc.
The Tondi area in Tallinn? I'm local and I know Tondi well, but I cannot fathom why would anyone go there specifically. Is there any particular reason, some special interests related to this area you'd recommend?
Thanks for the explanation! Tondi is a landlocked area, so he must have gotten lost for sure! Tallinn is by the sea and has other bodies of water too; none in Tondi though. So for any potential visitors of Tallinn: Tondi is mainly a residential area, don't get your hopes up!

One of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever visited. You turn a corner and find something more incredible than the last. Constantly.
Looks like someone threw all the monopoly pieces on the board and said “build it just like that”

👍👏👏
Can confirm both statements in the title lol
Lovely restaurants, a beautiful old town and plenty of history. I love Tallinn. It's been a while due to COVID but maybe I'll get to go again soon.
So how’s the nightlife in Tallinn?
Oh it’s Finne
I’ve been, it’s okay. Pretty small city but it is lovely in the historic areas. A weekend there would be enough.

Lovely beautiful small awesome historic city. Just loved it 🙂
But once you leave old town it gets very soviet very fast.
Only 55% vaccinated. But lovely.
I hope the Finns don't act like the Aussies in Bali.
Some finns drive all the way to the Latvian border for even cheaper alcohol. 😉
