On the streets of Tallinn you can always meet a chimney sweep, which is the real symbol of the city. There is a popular belief here: if you meet a chimney sweep, you have to grab him by the button and make a wish, and then your wish will definitely come true. Not all Tallinn chimney sweeps are happy about this custom.
