Tallinn Song Festival Grounds, Tallinn, Estonia

The Tallinn Song Stage (Lauluväljak) was built in 1959 for the Estonian Song Festival. The stage was meant to hold over 15,000 singers but it’s also possible to use it the other way – the performance will take place in front of the stage and audience is sitting on the stage.

The stage was the main places of the Estonian revolution and new independence in 1988-1991. Estonians gathered there to sing patriotic hymns in what became known as the Singing Revolution that led to the overthrow of Soviet rule.

Went to see The Weeknd and the space was very pretty. Only disadvantage was being short you wont be able to see much if you don’t have some kind of golden circle ticket. The staff did a good job on getting people in and out. Only negative was food and drink lines.

Best place in front of the beach and warm outside swimming pool. Perfect for the families, rooms that goes straight to the terrace with the pool, table outside your room to enjoy sea view and have a chill drink. Highly recommended all year round as the pool open in winter too. We were family with 2 kids, 4 years old and 13 years old. Will definitely come back. ??

Fantastic place for concerts. Holds 65 000 spectators. Higher ground rises back and gives good view over crowd. Surrounding park also lovely.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
