Walk through the narrow gothic dwellings, cosy cobblestone streets, and well-made fortress walls with solid towers. The Old Town is comprised of two parts: Lower Town (residence of artisans and merchants) and Upper Town (residence of viceroys and the nobility). On this tour, learn how Tallinn got wealthy by attracting invaders and resisting them. Discover why Tallinn was known as a 'town of pepper and salt,' and how Estonians, local Germans, and Catholic monks communicated with each other. Walking the cosy cobblestone streets, get acquainted with Tallinn's history through interesting stories and legends.
See medieval dwellings from the 14th to the 15th century, the oldest town hall and pharmacy in Europe, and St. Olaf Church, having once been the highest in the world. We explore Upper Town - an area of German crusaders (later - noblemen), viceroys, and bishops. See the largest Orthodox church in Estonia, then the oldest one in Estonia.
Nearby, see Toompea Castle occupied by the parliament. The climax of the excursion will be a visit to a viewing platform for a view of Tallinn. This excursion may be finished at the Town Hall Square or any other place convenient for you!
