Overview of your Tallinn tour:

Did you know that despite its small size, Tallinn packs a large selection of distinct architectural styles from over the last 800 years? The city has seen many changes over the centuries in rulership, religion, culture and ideology. The buildings themselves mirror these changes. Traversing the city, we will see buildings and styles from medieval Gothic and Renaissance, to Classicistic, Baroque, Soviet and more. We will not just talk about when they were built, but also why, what brought about these changes, how they differ from similar styles in other parts of Europe and what hidden details can be found. I love the way Tallinns various styles of architecture play off one another. While some places seem at first like a hodgepodge of multiple eras and styles, it somehow still manages to work together and only means there is more stories to be discovered here!
