Tallinn is the capital city and main seaport of Estonia. It is located on Estonia's north coast to the Baltic Sea. It has been shaped by nearly a millennium of outside influence. Its name, derived from taani linnus , meaning "Danish Fort", is a reminder of the fact that the city was founded by the Danes at the beginning of the thirteenth century, and since that time political control has nearly always been in the hands of foreigners - Germans, Swedes and Russians. The Germans have undoubtedly had the most lasting influence on the city; Tallinn was one of the leading cities of the Hanseatic League, the German-dominated association of Baltic trading cities, and for centuries it was known to the outside world by its German name, Reval. Even when Estonia was ruled by the kings of Sweden or the tsars of Russia, the city's public life was controlled by the German nobility, and its commerce run by German merchants.
Helsinki port was founded in 1550 as a port town to compete for Baltic Sea transport and is now one of the key ferry ports in the region. Helsinki ferry port is the busiest passenger port in Finland with connections to numerous countries including Sweden, Estonia, Poland, Russia and Germany. Unsurprisingly for a port of its size, Helsinki has numerous ferry terminals - West Terminal for departures to Estonia and Russia, Olympia for Sweden, Katajanokka and Makasiini for Estonia and Hansa terminal for crossings to Germany and Poland.
