DAY TOUR TO TALLINN FROM HELSINKI

Step Into a Fairytale — Explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Tallinn ✨

Tallinn’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, is a masterpiece of medieval Europe — remarkably intact, beautifully preserved, and full of life.

Wander through original cobblestone streets, framed by gothic churches, merchant mansions, and stone barns and warehouses that have stood here since the Middle Ages. Every corner feels like a portal into a different century.

🏰 Town Hall Square — The Beating Heart of the City

This iconic square has been the center of Tallinn’s social life for centuries — and it still is.

🎉 In spring, it comes alive with the Old Town Days Festival, a joyful modern take on a medieval carnival.

🎄 In winter, the square becomes home to a buzzing Christmas Market, crowned by one of Europe’s oldest Christmas tree traditions, dating back to 1441.

🛍️ Throughout the year, you’ll find handicraft fairs, open-air concerts, and local festivities that invite you to celebrate like a true Estonian.

During the tour, you will walk through the both parts of the Old Town : the Upper Town (Dome Hill) and the Lower Town. Historically, the Dome Hill was populated by the nobility, contrasting with the Lower Town which was predominantly inhabited by merchants and artisans. You will see the Toompea Palace (outside), which is a seat of Estonian Parliament today, a beautiful Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (incl.visit), the grandest Orthodox Church in Estonia, the main Lutheran Cathedral (tickets are included), which is the oldest church in mainland Estonia. Then we’ll enjoy the views of the Lower Town from the observation platforms. Then we will slowly descend to the Lower Town along the cobblestone sidewalks. There you will visit the Town Hall Square, the oldest confectionery in the city and the oldest pharmacy in Europe. During the tour, take a break and unwind at one of the many charming cafes in Tallinn.
