Toompea Castle
Discover the ancient Toompea Castle, a stronghold of resilience dating back to the 9th century or even earlier. Its roots reach into the 13th century, following the Danish conquest in 1219. Today, the castle presents a diverse array of architectural designs that tell the story of its complex history, starting from its medieval foundation to later additions. The castle's most prominent landmark is the Tall Hermann tower, an enduring symbol of national pride. The flag that flies atop this tower not only represents the governing power but also embodies Estonia's independence.
Admire the Riigikogu, Estonia's unicameral national parliament, which houses a single chamber with 101 members elected every four years. This esteemed body stands as a symbol of governance and enduring tradition across Estonian history. Its strategic location and historical significance designate it as a crucial landmark, embodying the deep-rooted heritage of both Tallinn and Estonia.

The guide welcomed me like an old friend, and the group was small and warm. Walking through the Old Town, I didn’t just see buildings , I felt stories in the stones. I even had a quiet moment in a small church, just sitting and listening to the bells. It reminded me why I travel , not just to see places but to feel them.

Our guide wasn’t just showing us landmarks, he shared personal memories, places he used to visit as a child, and spots locals love. We even stopped at a hidden bakery off the main street. Tallinn felt real, lived-in, and alive. This is how touring should be.

Today was gentle and beautiful. Tallinn welcomed us with cool air and calm streets. We walked slowly, listened to soft stories from our guide, and stood in silence at a hilltop viewpoint. I didn’t rush to take photos , I just wanted to feel the city. These five hours gave me something I didn’t expect: stillness and wonder.

The medieval towers, cobblestone streets, and views from the top of the city walls were awesome. Our guide had great energy and even recommended some local snacks to try. 5 hours flew by fast. I wish we had more time!

The old town was beautiful with its medieval walls, colorful buildings, and charming little streets. Our guide gave us just the right amount of history without making it boring. We also had some free time for coffee and shopping. A very pleasant experience overall.
