Tallinn

A fascinating combination of the old and the new, immersed in medieval charm, but at the same time modern, at the forefront of modernity, Tallinn has an interesting story to tell.

The heart of Tallinn, the Old Town, built in the 13th century, will wrap your every step with its medieval atmosphere. The cobbled streets, towers, castles, medieval houses and gothic churches will make you feel like protagonists in a medieval fairy tale. Here you will find important sights of Tallinn such as the beautiful central square Raekoja plats which dominates the 13th century Gothic Town Hall, the churches of St. Nicholas (13th century) and St. Olaf (14th century) with its giant tower, the museum of Estonian history but also the impressive walls of the city.

Enjoy the unique view of the city from the ancient castle on Toompea hill. It is dominated by the Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral and the medieval Cathedral of the Virgin Mary (13th century) with its impressive Baroque tower. From the hill watchtower, you have a panoramic view of all the towers of the city.

On the way back down, you will find the Garden of the Danish King and the towering 38-meter tower Kiek in de Kok, which was part of the city walls and is the point where the elite of the Middle Ages peeked through the tower to life in Lower Town. From here you can explore the hidden tunnels that are located under the fortified positions of the hill and run through the Old Town.
