Thank you all so much!
We're sitting in the lounge in OSL awaiting our onward flights to HEL and then IVL. It's been a knackering trip up from Australia, but the excitement is enough to keep us going.
Fingers crossed we'll be greeted this evening by an amazing display of the Northern Lights.
And I know we will have a fantastic time in both Tallinn and Helsinki because of your help.
Thanks again!

Just wanted to let everyone know, again, thank you for all of your help.
We had a fantastic time. So absolutely amazing.
Nellim, in Lapland, is just a wonderful base from which to look for the Northern Lights (we saw them!), as well as enjoy many winter activities - we particularly loved dog-sledding.
We also loved exploring Helsinki and Tallinn, and really enjoyed our meals at the following restaurants:
In Tallinn:
Tchaikowsky (in the Telegraaf)
Ö
In Helsinki:
Ask
Jurri
Chef & Sommelier
In particular, Ask was phenomenal.
We, unfortunately, did not make it to Kumu in Tallinn - time just ran out - but thoroughly enjoyed both the Design and Architecture Museums in Helsinki, as well as the KGB museum in the Hotel (can't remember the name).
Also highly recommend taking a stroll along Helsinki's "Central Park", as there are several beautiful buildings along the path.
And the Design District! Some really fantastic shopping to be done there.
Lastly, though there was unfortunately no snow, the Tallinn Jül Market is adorable, and we were very surprised by how much we enjoyed the one in the main square of Helsinki.
Thanks again everyone!

There is a slight but delightful typo in your message: You probably meant Restaurant Juuri (Root). Jurri is a word for the state of being thoroughly and blissfully drunk.

I did indeed mean Juuri, though with the wine pairings we had with all of our meals, "Jurri" is just the most perfect word.
Glad I accidentally stumbled onto it, and thanks for helping me learn something new!
