Tale of two cities

As you glide, you'll pass every kind of curiosity from the cottonwood trees and pilliroog plants, and the odd floating sauna, while Snail Tower furls above the city’s skyline.

Back on land, be sure to visit Aparaaditehas Creative City, an old factory complex turned creative hotspot, now home to artists, designers and entrepreneurs. Browse the small shops and galleries and take in a concert or workshop.

The city’s cobbled streets, meanwhile, weave past preserved medieval buildings, creating an ambience to transport visitors to a bygone era. Street art strikes at the heart here - a vast mural on the side of the university, depicting 19th-century streets, provides an awesome juxtaposition to modern times.

Elsewhere a stencil artwork opposite the Supreme Court of Estonia, Cannabeard and Witch Hunter, by street artist Edward von Longus, depicts a beloved children's storybook character Mossbeard, his beard now replaced with cannabis plants, a condemnation on the war on drugs.

Meanwhile, Toome Hill Park fuses the city’s love of culture and history, with a mix of sculptures, ancient ruins and striking graffiti-style art.
