Description

Explore Tallinn's heart, from the Town Hall Square to historic sites and stories, and capture its charm and history.
No longer living in the shadows of its famous neighbours like Helsinki, Stockholm and St. Petersburg, Tallinn developed a charm of its own. See the heart of Tallinn, the Town Hall Square, and the surrounding open-air market, with vendor stalls, small cafes and souvenir shops. Learn about the 13th-century Holy Spirit Church, one of the oldest in the city. View the City Museum building, originally a home of the 14th century. Take a look at “Fat Margaret”, the nickname of the Estonian Maritime Museum building, and learn how and why it got this name. Admire the Great Coastal Gate, the only medieval defence tower still standing on the defence wall. Learn the legend of St. Olav's Church, and marvel at St. Nevsky Cathedral, the largest Russian Revival-style temple in the city. Walk by Toompea hill, for the best view of the Estonian Government and the Parliament buildings. At Freedom Square, see the monument that honours soldiers who lost their lives during the Estonian War of Independence. The capital of Estonia sure has charm, history and stories to spare!
