OldTown Hostel Alur is situated as the name suggests in Vana Tallinn - OldTallinn. Well just about, it's within the old walls and is two minutes walk from the main square, Raekoja Plats. There are one or two hostels nearer the centre but it's nothing worth quibbling over. Alur's sign is rather modest and as it has no windows at eye level you could easily miss it.
Entrance is by door buzzer and reception is on the first floor so it's straight up the stairs when you arrive. The reception area is tiny; squeeze in more than two backpackers with rucksacks and you'll be falling over each others legs and luggage.
We hadn't booked and wanted a double for three nights and they offered us a room on the top floor - basically in the eaves - for the first night, after which there would be a better room on the first floor for the other two ...
Advantages: The residue of earlier centuries Disadvantages: The residue of the Soviet era

There is much that is reminiscent of Krakow about the oldtown of Tallinn. Like Krakow, it has a mediaeval citadel on a hill at the south-western corner (in Tallinn?s case known as Toompea), with the rest spread out in a north-easterly oblong around a central market square. Both have the remains of ramparts; Tallinn?s are the better preserved ? 2km intact out of an original perimeter of 3.6km ? but only on their western side do they have surrounding gardens like those that insulate the centre of Krakow from the rest of town. Tallinn, too ...

Advantages: Free parking and no entrance fee. Disadvantages: You have to pay for each ride.
Everyone does Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal, when they go to the Orlando area. This can be very costly, especially for a family.
Fancy a cheap few hours out, then go to OldTown in Kissimmee. You can't miss it. It has the Ferris wheel at the entrance, and that's how we would give directions. Not only can you see this on U.S.192 but it now has the 'Sling Shot' too. Two brightly illuminated towers stretching up in the air 365 feet. If you are brave enough to do this ride it will cost you $25 (13 pounds 85 pence). However, just look in any of the coupon books, dozens around in shops, restaurants, etc, and you will get either $5 off or a free T-Shirt . Recently they have put two more scary rides at the front of OldTown to entice people in
If you are into crazy rides of a lifetime there is also 'Skycoaster'. This is advertised as ...
