Tallinn Old Town Tour

Built up from the 13th to 16th centuries, when Tallinn – or Reval as it was known then – was a thriving member of the Hanseatic trade league, this enclosed neighbourhood of colourful, gabled houses, half-hidden courtyards and grandiose churches is, quite rightly, the city's biggest tourist draw. And the fact that it's all neatly packaged within a mostly-intact city wall and dotted with guard towers gives it an extra dose of fairytale charm.
During our Tallinn Old Town walking tour you will see and explore all the best sights of the Medieval Tallinn: pair of picturesque ivy-covered towers at the beginning of Viru Street – Viru Gate, impressive defensive structures the Great Coastal Gate and Fat Margaret tower, the gleaming Medieval Cathedral of Saint Mary the Virgin (Dome Church), 1246th year building of the Dominican Monastery, 15th century Great Guild Hall, 14th-century Holy Spirit Church and Hellemann Tower, beautiful Renaissance-style House of the Brotherhood of Black Heads, Kiek in de Kök and the fascinating system of hidden Bastion tunnels, picturesque Town Hall Square with Tallinn Town Hall and dated to 1422 Town Hall Pharmacy, 14th century “Maiden's” or “Virgin's” tower, Niguliste Museum (St. Nicholas' Church), the first classical church in Tallinn - Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas, spectacular onion-domed structure perched atop Toompea Hill - Estonia's main Russian Orthodox cathedral, the 14th century Gothic church that dominates Tallinn's skyline - St. Olav’s Church and tower, Toompea Castle, Tower's Square, Tallinn City Museum which is housed in a 14th century merchant house and a mix of creativity and Medieval atmosphere - St. Catherine's Passage.
