- Tom JLondon, UK1,853 contributionsFollow the cobbled streets up this steep hill with lots of steps which leads up to some impressive views of the city of Tallinn. Once up you can visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and parliament building along with the park.Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MargeTurku, Finland1,612 contributionsNice square with old buildings. Christmas market is so lovely! Prices is cheap anymore, but glogi with alcohol for 7eur plus mug fee 2eur is must to do. Hot drink with friends or family and nice pics.Written December 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom JLondon, UK1,853 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit, very impressive church and it’s free to go inside although you have to be respectful and can’t take any photos or videos inside.
Head there earlier in the morning around 9am for a clear view of the church without lots of people in front of the building. The walk up to the building itself takes around 5-10 minutes from the bottom and is a slight incline up a hill and some steps, but it’s very rewarding once you are up there. Also the parliament building is opposite and there is a small park too.Written November 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This park is beautiful area almost in the centre of Tallinn. The plants are shaped very nice. In this park also placed Estonian President residence. This Friday night it was light show in this park.

- David ŠtrymplLiberec, Czech Republic14 contributionsVery engaging and talkative nice guide! Me and my friend had a really good time and we got to know about the hotel’s history too. Only negative thing was the short duration of the tour. I would like to see more. :(Written November 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom JLondon, UK1,853 contributionsThe old town wall of Tallinn is truly remarkable, it has stood the test of time and humanity and really transports you back the moment you step foot within the medieval city. The walls are sprawling and seem to go on forever when you are walking around and following them. Within them there are some fascinating museums that can be entered to learn more about the city and its history - a great way to escape the cold and weather!Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul OCounty Monaghan, Ireland6,086 contributionsTram # 1 will take you from the old town centre and drop you at edge of Kadriorg park which is very nice to walk through. The museum itself is an enjoyable and well laid out art museum. A mixture of permanent Estonian art works and international exhibitions. Tallinn card works here.Written November 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JessWales, UK347 contributionsThere is plenty to see here on many different floors and towers. Unfortunately the cafe was closed but it looked lovely. The highlight for me was the tunnels. It was a little scary but so interesting to see all of the different uses they have had. This is worth a visit, especially if you have the Tallinn card.Written October 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eileen108Mount Shasta, CA5,618 contributionsSimple church with high pews and a dramatic spire with 234 steep stone steps up, and dramatic views from the balcony viewpoint at the top.

- HockeyboyDesborough, UK299 contributionsNice enough market. Easy to find. Brew pub was fine and the deli/coffee shop very nice. It’s cash only in some parts so take a few euros.Written October 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
