Full description

Discover the highlights of Tallinn’s enchanting Old Town on this engaging walking tour with a local guide.

Start your journey at the historic Town Hall Square, where you’ll hear quirky legends — including the story behind the famous weather vane — and visit the medieval Town Hall Pharmacy, home to one of Europe’s oldest continuously operating pharmacies and a surprising Estonian recipe.

As you walk through winding streets, admire gothic churches and learn how the city walls once protected Tallinn from invaders. Climb Toompea Hill for panoramic views from the city’s best viewing platforms and see the Parliament of Estonia, housed in a pink baroque palace built on ancient fortifications.

Stroll through the picturesque St. Catherine’s Passage and visit St. Catherine’s Guild, where traditional artisans create and sell handmade hats, ceramics, and glassware. End your tour at the Dominican Monastery, the city’s oldest surviving building, dating back to 1246.

This tour is the perfect way to explore the stories, sights, and secrets of Tallinn’s medieval heart.
