Hello! I have lived in Tallinn my entire life and love its rich as well as complex history,...

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!
We will start from a location close to your accommodations. If you are coming to Tallinn for just a day, either by cruise ship or ferry, then we start from your port terminal. - Enter the Classicist and Baroque Upper Town of the Old Town - See Aleksandr Nevski cathedral (Russian neo-romantic style) and the Dome Church (Gothic) - Visit a panoramic view point - See the medieval city wall - Visit the Town Square of the Lower Town - See the Guild Halls - House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads (Renaissance) - The Three Sisters - Drive to northern Tallinn (Noblessner, Kalamaja and Telliskivi areas), home to Soviet, industrial and Tallinn styles - Drive to Kadriorg park - Return to start location IMPORTANT - depending on when we start, we might change the order of the walking and car tours to avoid traffic. Please note this tour can be customised. Use the 'message guide' button to contact me.
