Vanalinn, Tallinn's Old Town

Tallinn's walkable Old Town connects merchant Lower Town, Town Hall Square and the fortified rise to Toompea. Its surviving streets make the city's medieval structure clear.

Why go

Enter near Viru Gate, follow the lower streets toward Raekoja plats and look for the Town Hall's civic frontage before climbing to Toompea. St Olaf's and St Nicholas anchor opposite parts of the old centre. Walking these places in relation to one another reveals more than a string of isolated façades.

What to look for

  • Viru Gate as an approach to Lower Town
  • Raekoja plats and Tallinn Town Hall
  • St Olaf's and St Nicholas churches at different ends of the old centre

Useful to know

  • Explore on foot; the short streets reward pauses rather than a fast circuit.
  • Include Toompea separately if you want the upper-town perspective.
