Explore the Estonian capital and be amazed by its medieval monuments with this Tallinn Private Tour through the historic centre of the Baltic city.
Tallinn Private Tour
After picking you up at the agreed place, we'll start our tour by visiting the Toompea: the upper part of Tallinn's historic centre. In this area of the city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we'll see the imposing Toompea Castle. This historic building now houses the seat of the Estonian Parliament.
We'll walk around the outside of the fortress to see the Pikk Hermann Tower, popularly known as "the big Hermann". The Estonian national flag flies permanently from the top of the watchtower and is hoisted daily at dawn after the playing of the Estonian national anthem.
Next to Toompea Castle is the Alexander Nevksi Cathedral. This Orthodox church was built during the period when Estonia belonged to the Russian Empire. We'll take a look back at this period as we approach the nearby church of St. Nicholas, built to honour the patron saint of sailors and fishermen.
We'll continue our route next to the Tallinn City Hall, the only Gothic city hall in Northern Europe. From here we'll take a walk to the Toomkirik, the Lutheran Cathedral of Our Lady. We'll appreciate the contrast of its baroque tower with the medieval bell towers of the city.
After the tour of Tallinn's Old Town, the tour will end by returning to the starting point.
