Hellemann Tower and Town Wall
Today, Hellemann Tower at the end of Müürivahe street is home to an art gallery and an inn. The nearly 200-metre-long old defence wall is also open to the visitors which connect Hellemann Tower with Munkadetagune Tower. Visitors can look out from the wall and view the city of Tallinn.
Climbing up the steep stairs, you will arrive at the attic, which opens up as a viewing platform, so is definitely worth taking a walk along the defensive walls.
Hellemann Tower is said to be named after Helle Holleman, a citizen of Tallinn who lived nearby. In the Middle Ages, the strategic location of the tower, in the immediate vicinity of the Viru Gate, played an important role.

Is that it?
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5You pay 4 Euros. You walk up some stairs. You look down at the street a few storeys up. You walk along the old top of the tower for a bit. And that's it. This itself is pleasant, but it's overpriced... Read more comments
good
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5You get to enter three of the numerous towers dotted around Tallin and walk along the parapet. Not expensive and worth the effort. Recommend.
