No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Estonia

Vanalinn

6.8

4.8/5

112 reviews

Vanalinn is a remarkably well-preserved medieval city on the Baltic Sea and was once an important trading port of the Hanseatic League. In the Lower Town, centered around Raekoja plats, the Gothic Old Town Hall stands on one side of the square. St. Olaf's Church, with its spire over 100 m high, the Three Sisters houses with their three connected gables, and the Town Hall Pharmacy, which has records of operation dating back to the early 15th century, are all scattered throughout this area; a few minutes south of the square is St. Nicholas' Church & Museum, which is now a museum of religious art; the late medieval masterpiece "Danse Macabre" housed inside is particularly worth a stop. The higher Toompea Castle area, also known as the Upper Town, features the onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Virgin standing side by side, which, together with the ancient castle, outline the skyline. The medieval-style doors, windows, and hanging signs along the streets are details that many people easily miss. The preserved ancient city walls stretch for nearly 2 km, connecting one circular tower after another, offering a different perspective from the top of the wall. Walk to the Kohtuotsa and Patkuli viewing platforms on the edge of Toompea, where red-tiled roofs layer upon layer spread out toward the Baltic Sea.

The Tallinn Town Hall, built in the early 14th century, is located next to Raekoja Plats, a Gothic building. Since 1530, the roof of the town hall has stood the symbol of Tallinn - the guardian Thomas, when you climb to the top, you can overlook the whole city. In June every year, it is the Old Town Festival (OldTownDays), which usually lasts for 4 days. There will be many vendors in the Town Hall and the square next to it, and several concerts, dances and medieval themed carnivals will be held.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is located on Toompea. Named after Alexander Nevsky, who defended against the Teutonic Knights' invasion in the 13th century, it was built between 1894–1900. It is the tallest and largest domed Orthodox cathedral in Tallinn, featuring distinctive "onion" domes. From here, you can overlook the entire Vanalinn and the city of Tallinn. The interior of the cathedral is decorated with mosaics and other patterns, making it well worth a visit. It also features a famous bell ensemble, consisting of 11 bells, including the largest in Tallinn, which can be heard before services.

Tallinn not only has a well-preserved ancient city, but also has a 2-kilometer-long ancient city wall.

In the ancient city, you can also look at the city walls. The better viewing points are at the Patkuli Viewpoint (Patkuli) in Toompea and the Tower Square (Tornideväljak) near the railway station.

Kadriorg Park is a Baroque palace and garden complex built in 1718 for Tsar Peter I, serving as one of the Tsar's summer residences at the time. Today, it is a popular leisure spot in Tallinn for people of all ages. In spring and summer, visitors can see manicured gardens and flower beds here, but most of the park retains its natural landscape, such as meadows and forests. The Japanese garden, designed by renowned Japanese landscape architect Masao Sone, is also quite distinctive.

The Old Town of Tallinn is divided into the Upper Town and the Lower Town. Follow the guide to walk from the Lower Town to the Upper Town, through the streets and alleys. Among them, the St. Catherine's Passage is a relatively distinctive small street. It is narrow and a little steep. The street is a cobblestone path. Through this street, you can reach the highest point of the Old Town of Tallinn to see the scenery of the city.

5.0

【View】It is worth seeing the cathedral combined with the entire castle and the castle mound (actually, otherwise it would not work because it is an integral part of the castle). There are organs and baptisteries in the spacious and bright rooms with photos, as well as churches and souvenir shops. Although the cathedral obviously does not claim to be an architectural masterpiece, you can learn many interesting facts and legends with the help of an audio guide (including in Russian).
