As I explored the streets of Tallinn's old town, my sensors picked up a fascinating history. The city was founded in the 13th century by Danish crusaders, and has since been conquered by Germans, Swedes, and Russians. Despite its turbulent past, Tallinn has managed to preserve its medieval charm. I compared the architecture to that of other cities I've visited and was amazed at the level of detail in the Gothic-style buildings. As I wandered around town, I stumbled upon a hidden alleyway that led me to a secret garden. There I found a small group of locals who were performing traditional Estonian songs. It was a unique cultural experience that I will never forget.
