Tallinn — the city of Love
Estonia has been known for pioneering technology on an international scale. The country is ranked as the most advanced in the digital society. Whilst this is what Estonia is best known for, other lesser known attributes of Estonian society are yet to be discovered or often left unsung. You don’t have to be a love expert to realize that Tallinn is one of the most romantic cities in Europe. Although many international students have traveled from different areas of the continent to Tallinn, the magical atmosphere has not failed to ignite sparks of love between strangers. It is said that students usually find their soulmates during studies at University; TalTech is not an exception to this theory.
We have witnessed couples walking along the cobble stones in Old Town and exchanging warm non- verbal gestures. The romantic nature of Tallinn has been engulfed in historical events and buildings. It is with no surprise this energy is still contagious to citizens and students here.
The Kadriorg Park is one of the most romantic areas in Tallinn that is surrounded by majestic gardens and a beautiful swan pond. A picture-perfect moment for couples to witness! The park was set up by Peter the Great for his wife Catherine during the 18th century. I am sure that you will agree that is romance at its best!
Another location that shows Tallinn romantic nature is the Kissing Hill. The name of the location speaks volume of the ambiance that is occurring. The statues are located before the entrance to the Viru Gates. It provides a romantic environment in a public setting while unwinding with your significant other. The site is accessible and comfortable during any seasons namely, winter.
In addition to the ancient history of love which is entangled within Tallinn, there are various students and alumni that have found their soulmates while on their academic journey at TalTech. It is inevitable that love will find you in Tallinn; once you are open to it.
Let us take a look into some couples that have found their soulmate while studying in this magical scenery.
Meet Professor Pawan Dutt from India who found his beautiful Estonian soulmate and wife while pursuing his academic career at TalTech University.
Meet Julia from Ukraine and Hiroki from Japan, past Cum Laude graduates from e-governance technologies and services at TalTech.
Meet John and Damiola both from Nigeria but became soulmates while studying. Different fields of study but due to the ambiance here in Tallinn, it was inevitable for love to blister!
To sum it all up, I do trust while studying at TalTech you are able to create memories and successes. One Love!
