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 center.

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 recognized 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 realize why so many visitors have described Tallinn Old Town as mystical, mesmerizing, and addictive.
