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.
