TOUR DESCRIPTION
Step into the storybook streets of the best preserved medieval Old Town in North Europe and let us fill its scenic streets and unique historical sights with real tales spanning centuries of joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies. Join us for a captivating stroll that juggles the storylines with timelines while balancing on the tightrope between historical depth and easy lighthearted communication – all delivered by a fun and knowledgeable local Estonian who knows this city and country inside out.
We'll take you beyond the postcard views of this picturesque Old Town and share the striking tales and discoveries behind many of its iconic landmarks and features.
-
Did you know that for most of the history the Upper Old Town and the Lower Old Town were actually their own cities, with differing laws and regulations, populations and governing bodies?
-
Do you know what made Tallinn a prized target for many kingdoms and empires, what once caused it to prosper as one of the wealthiest ports in the region and what subsequently caused its fall from the graces, frozen in time?
-
Did you know that the Old Town only narrowly escaped complete annihilation in the hands of the Soviet army that left much of the rest of Tallinn in burning ruins in WW2?
These are but only few of the tales we will share with you, grounding facts and history in memorable and exciting chapters that will make up the metaphorical book of your visit to Estonia.
Specifically, the tour will cover, show and explain the following sights (and much more, of course):
• Upper and Lower Old Town • Freedom Square • Medieval town wall, towers and fortifications • Danish King's Garden • Toompea Fortress and Estonian parliament • Tall Hermann Tower • Alexander Nevsky Cathedral • St Mary's, St Olaf's, St Nicholas Churches & the Church of Holy Spirit • Prime Minister's Office • Old Town viewing platforms • Long Leg passageway • Great Guild Hall • The Guild Houses • Town Hall & Town Hall Square • Town Hall Pharmacy • St Catherine's Passage?
If there is any specific place or site you are interested in, and not listed here, do let us know and we'll do our best to weave it in if in any way possible! Let's walk, talk, explore and uncover the real Tallinn Together.
