Activity itinerary

Viru Gates

Viru Gate Step through the Viru Gate, the grand entry into Tallinn's historic heart, where the bustling modern city meets the charm of medieval times. Once part of a larger defence system, these twin towers now serve as a welcoming beacon to the Old Town's cobblestone streets and vibrant market life. A perfect photo opportunity, the gate is a portal that transports you back to an era of knights and nobility.

St. Catherine's Passage

Wander through St Catherine's Passage, a narrow, winding lane that offers a mystical glimpse into Tallinn's medieval craftsmanship. Lined with artisan workshops, this hidden gem allows visitors to watch skilled craftsmen create timeless wonders right before their eyes. The passage, with its blend of historical architecture and modern creativity, is a treasure trove of cultural delights.

Tallinna Raekoda

Town Hall Square has been the undisputed hub of Old Tallinn for centuries, a place where merchants from distant lands once exchanged exotic goods. Today, it remains a vibrant epicentre of festivals, markets, and concerts, surrounded by intricate, colourfully painted medieval houses. Every step and stone in this square whispers stories of the past, making it a living museum of European history.

Town Hall Pharmacy

Step into the Raeapteek, one of Europe's oldest continuously running pharmacies, located right in the heart of Tallinn. Operating since the 15th century, this pharmacy blends a rich history with a curious collection of medieval remedies and modern medicines. It's a captivating mix of a museum and a working pharmacy where history meets healing.

Cafe Maiasmokk

Maiasmokk, Tallinn's oldest café, has been serving heavenly pastries and aromatic coffee since 1864. This café transports its visitors to a bygone era with its timeless interior and traditional recipes passed down through generations. Indulge in the cosy atmosphere while savouring a piece of history with every bite of their renowned marzipan.

St. Olaf’s Church

Soar to new heights at St. Olaf’s Church, once considered the tallest building in the world during the 16th century. Climbing its tower offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Tallinn and the Baltic Sea, a sight that has inspired artists and writers for generations. The church's spire, struck by lightning more than ten times, has a history as dramatic as the view from its top.

Tallinn Town Wall

Town Wall: Nunna, Sauna, and Kuldjala Tower Explore the formidable Town Wall with its Nunna, Sauna, and Kuldjala Towers that once protected Tallinn from invaders. These well-preserved fortifications offer a unique perspective on medieval defensive architecture and provide stunning views of the city below. Walk the ancient ramparts where guards once watched, ready to defend their city.

Tallinn

Ungern-Sternberg Palace, now a part of the Estonian Academy of Arts, is a stunning example of Baroque architecture. The palace, with its opulent design and elegant façade, tells a tale of Estonia’s aristocratic past and its cultural evolution. It’s a place where art and history merge, offering a glimpse into the luxurious lives of Estonia’s noble families.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Marvel at the Alexander Nevski Cathedral, a magnificent symbol of Tallinn’s Russian heritage. With its onion-shaped domes and intricate mosaics, the cathedral stands as a masterpiece of Russian Revival architecture. This architectural jewel dominates the skyline and serves as a spiritual beacon for the city.

Toompea Castle

Toompea Castle, perched atop a limestone hill, is a cornerstone of Estonian history, serving today as the seat of its national parliament. The castle’s façade, a tapestry of architectural styles, reflects the various powers that have fortified this ancient stronghold over the centuries. A visit here is a walk through the corridors of power, past and present.

Danish King's Garden

Hidden away on the slopes of Toompea Hill, the Danish King's Garden is said to be the spot where Denmark’s flag first fell from the heavens. This quaint garden is a serene retreat with sculptures, shaded benches, and floral displays that make it an ideal spot for reflection or a quiet escape from the city’s bustle.

Kiek in de Kok and Bastion Passages Museum

Discover the secrets of Tallinn’s defensive strategies at the Kiek in de Kök Fortification Museum. This formidable tower, whose name amusingly means "Peek into the Kitchen," offers a deep dive into the city’s military history with underground passages and exhibitions of ancient warfare. The museum not only educates but also enthralls with its tales of sieges and survival.
