Toom- Кooli 6 www.eelk.ee/tallinna.toom The Dome Church, Estonia’s main Lutheran church, once served Tallinn’s nobles and still displays their coats of arms. Established before 1233 and repeatedly rebuilt since, the church displays a mix of architectural styles. Visitors can climb the 69m baroque belltower for amazing views.

40 Bank of Estonia Museum Estonia pst 11 • www.eestipank.ee Exposition on the history of Estonian money and on the activities of the central bank. Visitors will learn the role of money in the society, have explained the arcane mysteries of central bank policy, and get an overview of how the financial system works.

34 Viewing platforms In the old days the nobles living on Toompea hill would look down – both literally and figuratively – on the merchants and artisans living in the town below. Now so can you. Two viewing spots in particular, the Kohtu street and Patkuli platforms, give sweeping panoramas of Old Town’s rooftops, towers and beyond. From the Kohtu street platform there’s an unforgettable view of the city’s Medieval neighbourhood against the backdrop of its new financial district. The Patkuli platform, on the other hand, offers the best vantage point to see Tallinn’s fairy tale city wall and towers, as well as St. Olav’s Church and the harbour. From Patkuli a winding series of steps leads down the cliff face to Nunne street, below.

41 National Opera Estonia Estonia pst 4 • www.opera.ee Tallinn’s main venue for opera and ballet, built in 1906. Built in 1913, the grand, Art Nouveau structure still belongs to the “Estonia” theatrical company. The state concert agency, Eesti Kontsert, is also headquartered here.

42 Hotel Viru & KGB Museum Viru väljak 4 • www.sokoshotels.fi In Soviet times it was rumoured that the KGB had files on everyone and that they operated in Viru Hotel. The latter rumour turned out to be true. Those intrigued by the city’s secret history can take a guided tour at this museum on 23rd floor.

On one slope of Toompea hill, between the city wall and Lower Town, you’ll find an open, gardenlike area and a terraced set of steps that lead down to a courtyard on Rüütli street. This relaxing spot was supposedly where King Valdemar II of Denmark and his troops camped before conquering Toompea in 1219.

43 Rotermann Quarter The 19th century industrial quarter has been given a modern architectural make-over. Trendy, cultural shopping centre with shops dedicated to cheese and wine.

This huge 15th century tower is a museum of the town’s fortifications and serves as the entrance to the hidden tunnels that run under Toompea hill. The name of this 38m tower means “peep into the kitchen,” since it was so high that guards joked they could see right down the chimneys of the houses below. It was built in the 1470s, but quickly expanded and strengthened, giving it walls up to 4m thick.

One piece of Old Town architecture that seems out of place here among its Medieval neighbours is the colourful, very Russianlooking, onion-domed church that lords over the city from atop Toompea hill. It was established here in 1900. Now the cathedral is the main place of worship for Estonia’s Russian Orthodox faithful.

Tallinn's most ornate guild hall, with Renaissance facade and spectacular doorway. The Brotherhood of Black Heads gets its odd name from the fact that its patron saint, Mauritius, was a darkskinned Moor. This guild of unmarried German merchants was responsible for organising the town’s defenses.

The power politics of the Middle Ages being what they were, Tallinn was constantly under threat of attack by one ambitious neighbour GB or another. The solution, starting in the 13th century, was to maintain a system of high, thick walls, guard towers and gates. With 1,9 km of its original city wall still standing, Tallinn boasts one of Europe’s best preserved Medieval fortifications. The portion of the wall that’s open to the public connects Nunna, Sauna and Kuldjala towers.

OLD TOWN

One of the most versatile Estonian artists of the 20th century, Adamson-Eric (1902-1968), worked in a number of disciplines. His creations, displayed in this medieval-merchanthouse-turned-museum, include paintings and inventive jewellery.

Saints, dancing skeletons and silver – not to mention the occasional organ concert – are the main attractions at this imposing, 13th-century church. The church houses a museum dedicated to church art, displaying Medieval altarpieces and Tallinn’s most famous painting, Bernt Notke’s Danse Macabre. Destroyed in a World War II bombing raid, it was painstakingly reconstructed in the 1980s. The building's acoustics also make it a prime concert venue, with organ or choir performances held here most weekends.

The workshops are housed in the small, 15th- to 17thcentury rooms on the south side of the lane, and are set up in an open-studio fashion so visitors can watch the artists at work, be it glass-blowing, weaving or pottery making.

Once upon a time, from 1549 to 1625 to be precise, this 14th-century Gothic church was the tallest building in the world. In Medieval days its 159-metre spire would have made it a truly inspiring sight. At 124 metres, the current spire still towers over Old Town, and in spring and summer daring visitors can climb up for an amazing view.

Charmingly Medieval or amazingly modern? Figuring out which describes Tallinn better would be Parkla Parkla a tough job. On one hand, the city’s pride and joy is its historic Old Town, an enchanting neighbourhood of WC WC centuries—old streets, houses, towers and squares that looks like it was torn right from the pages of a storybook. Turg On the other hand, threaded through that same Old Turg Town and its environs are the cutting-edge restaurants, Kino cafés and clubs that give Tallinn its energy and buzz. Kino Visitors are often amazed by the newness of the place: Raviasutus the gleaming shops, the stylish interiors, the plush hotels. Raviasutus There are also the high-tech solutions that go hand-inMälestusmärk hand with Tallinn life, like free, wireless Internet available practically everywhere and the common practice of Mälestusmärk Tuletorn paying for parking by mobile phone. This is, after all, Trollipeatus the country that invented Skype. Estonia Tuletorn Call it old, new, or some kind of hybrid, Tallinn is an ideal city break destination. For one, it’s a highly compact Trollipeatus Saatkond city, most of which can easily be explored on foot without FI the need for taxis or buses. Most of the best opportunities for sightseeing, cultural events, dining, shopping, and Saatkond nightlife are conveniently massed in city centre. And there’s plenty to do here. Anyone coming here for a real break should know that Tallinn is also a great place to do very little: take a quiet stroll through a park, relax in a health spa or—if the weather cooperates—sit on a beach. Whatever your agenda, whichever of the Tallinns you need—the romantic, Medieval Tallinn or the trendy, high-tech one—the doors are open. Just take your pick and head on in!

This is a monument to the armoured ship Russalka, which headed out from Tallinn to Helsinki in 1893. A storm prevented it from reaching its destination and it took all 177 crewmen to the bottom of the sea. The angel shaped memorial was installed in 1902 to commemorate the ship’s crew.
