I also met friends who came to Tallinn by cruise ship when I visited the old church here."Tallinn.Vanalinn512m from downtown TallinnHistorical SitesUNESCO World Heritage - Cultural SitesHighlights: The Old Town of Tallinn was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1997, and has preserved relatively well-preserved buildings such as medieval castles and churches. Although the old town of Tallinn is small, it is particularly charming. The main attractions are distributed in 2 areas. One is near the Town Hall Square, also known as the Lower Town, where there are Tallinn's tall St. Olaf Cathedral, the Three Sisters House and the old pharmacy. Another area is the Cathedral Hill Castle area, also known as the Upper Town, with Nicholas Church, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Tallinn. In addition to these buildings, the old city of Tallinn also has a 2-kilometer-long ancient city wall, which is well preserved. You can walk along the walls of the old city and feel the taste of the ancient city, or climb to the high point of the city and overlook the whole picture of the old city. In addition, the various characteristic doors and windows and signboards of the old city are also a major attraction.Show Less - 5.04.5/542 ReviewFreebased on 879 reviews"Tallinn and it’s wonderfully preserved medieval architecture.

The Old Town Wall of Tallinn is one of the best preserved medieval walls in Europe."Tallinn.Vanalinn686m from downtown TallinnHistorical SitesUNESCO World Heritage - Cultural SitesHighlights: Tallinn not only has a well-preserved ancient city, but also has a 2-kilometer-long ancient city wall. You can also climb the tower and experience first-hand how the moat guards defend against intruders. Part of the city wall, open to the public, connects the towers of Nunna, Sauna and Kuldjala. 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.Show Less
- 4.14.5/568 Review"The interior of Tallinn City Hall is as simple as its exterior. Two of the halls are worth seeing. The Civic Hall was the place where medieval banquets and city laws were held, and is still used for receptions and concerts today. The walls of the hall were painted and very bright. There were not many decorations in the hall, most notably the knitted tapestries hanging on the walls that depicted the life of King Solomon. A closer look at these tapestries reveals that the characters are dressed in a noble, elegant way, and the whole picture is very harmonious and charming, much like the international gothic style popular in the late Middle Ages. The hall is where the city council gathers to discuss local laws and regulations, and there are many of the oldest decorations in the area. However, the doors of the hall are made by the Tallinn grand piano factory, black, painted and resembled a piano cover. The hall also contains a 15th-century wooden bench covered with a velvet tweed, and the bench is decorated with exquisite hollow carvings, which are the oldest wood carving artwork in Estonia. Overall, the interior of Tallinn City Hall is far less cool and charming than that of other major European city halls, but as the only remaining Gothic City Hall in several Nordic countries, it is a window into the medieval art of Tallinn."Tallinn.Kalamaja1.1 km from downtown TallinnHistorical SitesHistorical ArchitecturesHighlights: 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.Show Less
