Points forts
On this tour, you will see all the main highlights of Tallinn’s Old Town and learn more about daily life in the Middle Ages. We’ll explore merchants’ dwellings, a 15th-century pharmacy that’s still in operation, the medieval marketplace, the district of knights and nobility, churches, the Town Hall, artisans’ and merchants’ guild halls — and of course, the city wall and its towers. As we walk, you’ll find out: who lived in the Upper and Lower Towns, who was exempt from paying entrance fees to the city, how drunkenness was dealt with in medieval times, the cost of black pepper back then, why some young men were called "Blackheads", the meaning behind the medieval proverb “Town's air sets men free” — and much more! We invite you to explore Tallinn’s Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a rare and authentic medieval atmosphere. Don’t miss it!

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.
