This jumble of 14th- and 15th-century architecture with its medieval walls, needling spires and twisting, cobblestone streets is also the site of many of the city's important historic attractions and museums including the House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads, St. Catherine's Guild and the 15th-century Guildhall that now houses the History Museum.
Historic, walled Tallinn old town is a lovely place to explore with its narrow cobbled streets and alleys, squares, beautiful buildings, array of small shops selling all kinds of goods and amazing photo opportunities and viewpoints at every turn.

This onion-domed, Russian Orthodox Church was built in 1900 and named after the Russian hero who defeated the Teutonic Knights in the thirteenth century.
This beautiful cathedral, though fairly typical for Russian cathedrals, adds a wonderful fancy touch to the overall feel of Tallinn. You can enter, but be quiet and respectful. Hats off, don’t disturb anyone, and you can’t take pictures. Enjoy the beautiful icons and the majestic serenity of this place. Definitely worth a stop.

Measuring nearly 250 scenic acres, this urban park features the symmetrical Swan Lake and a promenade leading to the Kadriorg Palace.
You can stop by the beautiful palace, visit the President's residence, take you little ones to the amusement park, see the rose garden with roses from all over the world or just stop and say hi to the President's bees.

An ancient 10th-century Estonian stronghold stood on this 170-foot-high limestone plateau, which was later divided into the Big and Small Fortress with its distinctive defense towers erected in the early 13th century.
It’s worth the climb along cobbled streets for the views across Tallinn to the sea and the perfectly maintained network of old buildings.

This historic square has served as a marketplace since the eleventh century and features a pharmacy that has been operating since 1422.
Everyone must visit the Old Town Square (Raekoja Plats) in the heart of Tallinn where there are many beautiful fine buildings fringing the square and creating a wonderful atmosphere. The famous Christmas market was on when we were there which made the square particularly scenic with the large Christmas tree, fairy lights and many stalls selling hot toddies and tasty snacks as well as many Christmas decorations and souvenirs.

Within just a 15-minute drive from the center of Tallinn there is a delightful place – the Estonian Open Air Museum that invites you to see rural architecture and get acquainted with village life. The 14 farms of the museum show the visitor the life of families of different income and occupation in the 18th-20th centuries. As in anyreal village, there is a church, an inn, a school, a number of mills, a fire station, a village shop and net sheds by the sea. Although 74 buildings have been brought over so far, the museum is far from being completed; it is constantly changing and developing. You can have good time and also learn something at the Estonian Open Air Museum in any season!
Take a walk through history...hundreds of years of history of this northern country...from early farmers and fishermen, blacksmiths and more...school house, windmill...Excellent explanatory "plaques" in Estonian, Russian and English; some places other European languages. Set in beautiful forest. Take a break and enjoy. So much to learn!!

The view from Tallinn TV Tower is unique in Estonia as well as in all of Northern Europe. Under your feet are the woods of Muuga. The captivating Tallinn Old Town and the glistening Baltic Sea in all of its majestic glory are off in the distance. When Estonia was still behind the Iron Curtain, this was for many Estonians a window on the free world - at night one could even catch sight of the lights of Helsinki. To illustrate the view, visitors can use multimedia screens: to increase the area visible in it or seeing what the place looked like in the past. It is a view that must be seen. And - experienced! Bus information The TV Tower is served by city buses 34A, 38 and 49 ("Teletorn" stop), as well as by CityTour and City Sightseeing tourist buses (green line, Mere pst - Teletorn). Handicapped-accessible.
A short journey on bus 34A takes you to this amazing tower which provides panoramic views of the city, Old Town and port of Tallinn looking towards Finland. Well worth the entrance fee and my son and I visited on a clear day with spectacular views. For those who are OK with heights, you can have a supervised walk around the outside edge attached to a steel cable, of course. I found it very interesting to check out the distances to many other world cities. This was described very effectively on the floor as you walked around. A must visit while in Tallinn.
