PERUSE THE OLD TOWN
DAY 1
The cobbled streets and houses dating back to
the 11th century, and churches with magnetising
spires all come together to produce an authentic
Hanseatic architectural experience . Whilst its fairy-
tale appearance is further enhanced by the (mostly!)
intact city wall; dotted with guard towers, it encloses
a collection of quaint courtyards and colourful,
gabled houses.
Be sure to visit the upper part of the Old Town
which has an excellent viewpoint overlooking
the capital’s landscape. The Old Town exudes an
opulence that takes the form of small cosy cafes
tucked down winding side streets, shops which sell
traditional Estonian goods, galleries antique stores
and pharmaceutical shops which house traditional
remedies and curious cures!
