Overview of your Tallinn tour:

In the Middle Ages, Tallinn had one of the greatest and strongest defence systems in Northern Europe. Now its been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one the best preserved medieval towns. On this tour we'll walk along the city wall and will see all its surviving parts. We will discuss different kinds of towers and know the history and secrets behind the construction of the wall and 17-th bastions. On the tour you will know how people measured the distance between towers in that time and why they began to build bastions, who were the people that lived in the lower and upper towns, how horse thieves were punished and what medicines were used to treat drunkenness . . Don't miss out!
