Activity itinerary

Tallinna Raekoda

8m

The tour starts at Town Hall Square. The guide gives general information about the excursion, route and history of Estonia. You can tell us your preferences so that the guide can highlight them during the tour. (5 minutes stop at the point + 3 minutes transitions)

Niguliste Museum

12m

The Church of St. Nicholas is one of the oldest in the city. At this stop you will hear amazing stories about this church and the surrounding area. (10 minutes stop at the point + 2 minutes transitions)

Freedom Square

13m

Freedom Square is an excellent location for talking about modern city life and amazing statistical data. (8 minutes stop at the point + 5 minutes transitions)

Kiek in de Kok and Bastion Passages Museum

11m

The space in front of the impressive section of the fortress wall with its various towers provides an excellent backdrop for the story of medieval defenses. You will learn to determine the age of towers by eye. (8 minutes stop at the point + 3 minutes transitions)

Toompea Castle

18m

What does the word Toompea mean? Who is Long Herman? Where did the knights live? What is the system of government in Estonia? And why our guests often call the Estonian parliament cute? You will learn about this and much more on Palace Square. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral A constant favorite of our guests is the majestic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Let's talk about the features of the building and its difficult fate. (15 minutes stop at the point + 3 minutes transitions)

St Mary's Cathedral

10m

Using the example of the oldest mainland church in Estonia, you will learn what Tallinn Gothic is and why wood turned out to be not the most reliable material for construction. (6 minutes stop at the point + 4 minutes transitions)

Viewing Point Kohtuotsa

10m

No spoilers: just the best view of Tallinn. Let's count spiers, weather vanes, high-rise dominants and ferries. (7 minutes stop at the point + 3 minutes transitions)

Patkuli Viewing Platform

10m

Another observation deck, but a completely different view. You will find out how many islands there are in Estonia, how many towers surround the Old Town and why it is impossible to get from here by train to other European countries. (5 minutes stop at the point + 5 minutes transitions)

Danish King's Garden

6m

What does the Danish national flag have to do with Tallinn? Why are there no faces on the monk sculptures in the garden? Such different questions and such interesting stories. (5 minutes stop at the point + 1 minutes transitions)

Luhike Jalg

8m

Short and Long Legs are not parts of the body, but entire streets of the Old Town. You will walk along paths that in the Middle Ages were the border of two different cities, and the streets were separated by a wall of mistrust. (4 minutes stop at the point + 4 minutes transitions)

Great Guild Hall

8m

The most cozy of the squares of the old city now and one of the most important in the Middle Ages. The territory of the Great Guild is replete with historically important objects. What are guilds? And what role guilds played in the life of a medieval city, you will find out here. (5 minutes stop at the point + 3 minutes transitions)

Dominican Convent 1246 Museum

7m

Katarina's Lane is the most atmospheric corner of the old city, which is not so easy to find without a hint. Local craft shops, stunning views and, of course, incredible history (This place is not a must-see. It all depends on the comfortable speed for the group).
