Viru Backpackers was a chance find on line and is a great place situated in the old town; there is even a massage parlour on the floor above the hostel!!
Tallinn must get very busy during the main tourist season, Easter Holidays are over but it's still quite busy with cruise liners coming in almost daily.
Today was a real touristy day, a leisurely breakfast and out about ten o'clock for a proper look at some of the 'Must See' places marked on my city map.
