Vanalinn
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Estonia

Vanalinn

6.8
4.6/5
112 reviews

Vanalinn is a remarkably well-preserved medieval city on the Baltic Sea and was once an important trading port of the Hanseatic League. In the Lower Town, centered around Raekoja plats, the Gothic Old Town Hall stands on one side of the square. St. Olaf's Church, with its spire over 100 m high, the Three Sisters houses with their three connected gables, and the Town Hall Pharmacy, which has records of operation dating back to the early 15th century, are all scattered throughout this area; a few minutes south of the square is St. Nicholas' Church & Museum, which is now a museum of religious art; the late medieval masterpiece "Danse Macabre" housed inside is particularly worth a stop. The higher Toompea Castle area, also known as the Upper Town, features the onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Virgin standing side by side, which, together with the ancient castle, outline the skyline. The medieval-style doors, windows, and hanging signs along the streets are details that many people easily miss. The preserved ancient city walls stretch for nearly 2 km, connecting one circular tower after another, offering a different perspective from the top of the wall. Walk to the Kohtuotsa and Patkuli viewing platforms on the edge of Toompea, where red-tiled roofs layer upon layer spread out toward the Baltic Sea.

Vimka - Viimsi Mäepark
No. 1 of Ski Resorts in Harjumaa

Vimka - Viimsi Mäepark

4.1

Vimka - Viimsi Mäepark is located in Lubja, Vimsi Township, Harju County, Estonia. It relies on natural hilly terrain to create a complex space that combines natural exploration and outdoor sports. The undulating landforms in the park are covered with native pine forests and shrubs. Many hiking trails shuttle between natural rock formations and forest clearings, forming a challenging terrain route. In the winter snow accumulation period, the slopes are naturally transformed into sled slides and snow hiking areas, and the trees in the forest are covered with rime to form an ice and snow secret realm; in summer, it is suitable for orienteering and mountain biking, and the exposed rock surface becomes a natural venue for climbing training. There is a wooden viewing platform at the commanding height, where you can overlook the waves of the Gulf of Finland and the undulating rhythm of the canopy line. The supporting simple rest area provides basic supplies and encourages visitors to interact with nature through independent exploration. This design concept that takes into account both wildness and accessibility makes it a popular choice for residents around Tallinn to carry out daily outdoor training.

Vanalinn, Tallinn’s Old Town, is a beautifully preserved medieval quarter that feels like stepping into a storybook. Cobblestone streets wind past colorful merchant houses, Gothic churches, and hidden courtyards, all encircled by impressive stone walls and towers. Town Hall Square is the lively heart, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere from a cozy café. Climbing Toompea Hill offers panoramic views over red-tiled rooftops and the Baltic Sea. By day, it’s a treasure of history and architecture; by night, lantern-lit streets create a magical charm. Vanalinn is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic medieval ambiance with a vibrant modern twist.

Definitely one of the most beautiful medieval squares in Europe. Definitely worth seeing along with the one in Krakow. There are also some strange gargoyles.

One of the most classic buildings in Estonia Estonia is not big, Tallinn is even smaller. The whole Tallinn gives people a very good feeling. But if you want to talk about any landmarks, this church must have a name It was built in the late 19th century when Tallinn was under the rule of the Russian Empire, so it is a typical Russian style. It is also the largest and tallest Orthodox church in Tallinn.

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, has a beautiful old town that still retains its original walls and cobblestone streets, as well as 15th-century defense towers. The walls of Tallinn Old Town are one of the best-preserved medieval city walls in Europe.

The Old Town of Tallinn is divided into the Upper Town and the Lower Town. Follow the guide to walk from the Lower Town to the Upper Town, through the streets and alleys. Among them, the St. Catherine's Passage is a relatively distinctive small street. It is narrow and a little steep. The street is a cobblestone path. Through this street, you can reach the highest point of the Old Town of Tallinn to see the scenery of the city.

【View】It is worth seeing the cathedral combined with the entire castle and the castle mound (actually, otherwise it would not work because it is an integral part of the castle). There are organs and baptisteries in the spacious and bright rooms with photos, as well as churches and souvenir shops. Although the cathedral obviously does not claim to be an architectural masterpiece, you can learn many interesting facts and legends with the help of an audio guide (including in Russian).
