Højdepunkter

Tallinn’s Old Town is one of Europe’s most intact medieval cities, with its limestone walls, towers, and merchant houses largely still standing as they did 700 years ago. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll trace Estonia’s turbulent history from Hanseatic trading hub to Soviet occupation. The tour starts at Fat Margaret Tower, a squat, thick-walled fortification that once guarded Tallinn’s harbor. From the Patkuli and Kohtuotsa viewpoints, you’ll look out over red rooftops, church towers, and the Baltic Sea beyond, before descending through the Danish King’s Garden, St. Catherine’s Passage, and the Town Hall Square. The tour ends at a hilltop viewpoint near Freedom Square, where a metal tile marks the starting point of the 1989 Baltic Way – the 675-kilometre human chain in which two million people linked hands across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to demand freedom from Soviet rule.

About Tallinn

Tallinn is Estonia's capital on the Baltic, a medieval walled old town of towers, spires and cobbled lanes with a modern harbour beside it.

Tallinn's old town, a World Heritage site, sits on a limestone hill above the harbour, ringed by medieval walls and towers and divided into the upper town on Toompea and the lower town of merchants. The Hanseatic trading city grew rich in the Middle Ages, and Town Hall Square has what is described as the only surviving Gothic town hall in northern Europe, with a weather vane in the shape of Old Thomas. St Olaf's Church, once among the tallest buildings in Europe, rises above the roofs.

Top-ranked sights in Tallinn: Tallinn Old Town (Vanalinn), Toompea Castle (Toompea Loss), Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
