Tallinn's Old Town
Tallinn's Old Town is a living historical museum in the heart of the Estonian capital – an authentic and unique medieval city space whose cobblestone streets, powerful city walls, and centuries-old buildings tell stories from more than 800 years ago.
What makes the Old Town special is its rare integrity and degree of preservation, not only the few historic buildings here, but the whole urban environment has been a community since the Middle Ages. This is why the Old Town of Tallinn was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997!
In addition to its historical and cultural value, there are exclusive boutiques, craft shops, cafés and restaurants here today. One of the brightest events is the annual Christmas market in the Town Hall Square. This magical market has been repeatedly called one of Europe's most beautiful! There are also several viewing platforms in Old Town with captivating views of red roofs and the Tallinn city skyline.
Come and enjoy the unforgettable atmosphere of Tallinn's Old Town!
