Tallinn Old Town is definitely a good place. Lot's of restaurants and tourists, but the buildings and the atmosphere is really medieval. Another somewhat similar place close by is old town in Stockholm, aka "Gamla Stan" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamla_Stan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamla_Stan). The feeling there is a bit less medieval though, could be that some of the buildings are a bit newer or maybe just look that way. I have visited both places many times. And while you're at it, go check out Turku in Finland. Some nice old buildings and my home town. :) Castle is from 1280s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turku_Castle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turku_Castle
