More Culture in Tallinn

🏛️

Tallinn Old Town

The best-preserved medieval city in Northern Europe — a UNESCO-listed ensemble of Gothic guild houses, merchant's towers, and cobblestone lanes that has barely changed since the 14th century. The Town Hall Square, the Wheel Well, and the bastion towers together form a city that looks as though it was designed for a fairy tale.

🏛️

Toompea Castle

The hilltop fortress at the heart of Tallinn's upper city — home to the Estonian Parliament (Riigikogu), the 48-meter Tall Hermann Tower (where the national flag flies), and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The platform at the base of Tall Hermann has the finest view over the Old Town roofscape.

🏛️

Kadriorg Palace & Park

Peter the Great's summer palace built for his wife Catherine — a Baroque palace in manicured gardens 2km from the Old Town, now housing the Foreign Art Museum. The formal gardens and the swan pond are Tallinn's most elegant outdoor space.
