As chilled as its name suggests, the Ice Bar is a fusion of old and new - blue lights looking like blocks of ice, silver cushions flecked with black, comfy low sofas ideal for slouching on (beware leaning back, they are further from the wall than you think) combined with a wooden beamed ceiling decorated with painted leaf designs and a stained glass window on one wall. It sounds and is rather eclectic but the fusion works. The beams and stained glass are, I believe, original features of the building and they have been blended well with the contemporary design of the bar.

Ice is, of course, another feature, spread over the surface of the bar and made into shot glasses which are used for serving vodka. Glasses of ice? Yep and they do work and they don’t stick to your fingers. Cool.

A hilarious walking tour of the Old Town. If you're lucky you will get the guide who took us on a leisurely stroll, stopping off to play us his djembe drum in the park, and to buy some sandwiches. He didn't try to tell us too much, giving us a chance to meet the others on the tour.

Get tickets from the tourist info tent - meets there at 4pm. Corner of Harju and Niguliste Street;
