Discover the city's Old Town, the best preserved one in Northern Europe
Welcome to Tallinn's Old Town, a UNESCO world heritage site.
The Old Town attracts visitors because of its severe gothic dwellings, cozy cobblestone streets, well-made fortress wall with solid towers. It has 2 parts: Downtown - residence of artisans and merchants, and Upper Town - viceroy and nobility area.
I will tell you how Tallinn got wealthy, how it attracted invaders and resisted them. You will know why Tallinn was known as a «town of pepper and salt», how Estonians, local Germans, and catholic monks communicated with each other. We'll get acquainted with Tallinn's history through interesting stories and legends.
We can't miss the medieval dwellings from the 14-15th century, the oldest Town Hall and Pharmacy in Europe, St Olaf church, having been the highest in the world.
We'll see the biggest orthodox church in Estonia, the oldest Dome church. Near it there is Toompea Castle staying, taken by parliament.
The climax of the tour is the visit to a viewing platform with a priceless view.
