Tallinn Old Town If someone were to ask, ‘Is the Old Town just a life-size museum?’, the only correct answer would be, ‘No, of course not!’ The fact that it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List confirms that it is valuable treasure. But the number of important and exciting events that still take place there also prove it is lively and constantly evolving. The heart of the Old Town, the Town Hall Square, is where Estonians greet their heroes returning home from big accomplishments abroad. In summer, the Old Town Days and Medieval Days attract Estonians and foreigners alike to the Town Hall Square. Every mid-November, we watch in awe as the Christmas tree is erected on the Town Hall Square, and we prepare to enjoy one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in the world. Tallinn’s long-standing café culture has always revolved around the Old Town, be it Maiasmokk, the oldest café in Tallinn dating back to 1864, Pierre Chocolaterie in the hidden Masters’ Courtyard, or a number of other trendy establishments. When it comes to views, you can’t beat those from the Old Town Wall, its towers and Toompea Hill’s viewing platforms. The Old Town is like a good book, rewarding those who read beyond its cover with delightful secrets.

Visitors from all over the world drop around to admire the beauty of Tallinn, the best preserved medieval city in Northern Europe boasting Gothic spires, winding cobblestone streets and enchanting architecture. Once a home to wealthy merchants settling from Germany, Denmark and beyond, Tallinn Old Town today is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, with restaurants, bars, museums and galleries bringing much life to this historical city centre. Unlike many other capital cities in Europe, Tallinn has managed to wholly preserve its structure of medieval and Hanseatic origin. Due to its exceptionally intact 13th century city plan, the Old Town was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, joining the ranks of the world’s most recognised landmarks. Here you'll find original cobblestone streets dotted with medieval churches and grandiose merchant houses, barns and warehouses many of which date back to the Middle Ages. Spend a day in an authentic medieval milieu and you will soon realise why so many visitors have described Tallinn Old Town as mystical, mesmerising and addictive.

Not being original here, but this is what Tallinn is best known for. Lots of tourists, but totally worth it.
