Hello there! My name is Gleb, and I am passionate about combining various types of cultural heritage. Browsing magnificent cities of the Baltics with a map in your hands is fun, but hearing the stories behind different landmarks enhances your experience and often makes you view the city's landscape from a new angle. After spending a fantastic year as the guide who introduced Tartu's heart to international visitors, I am here to show the multilayered story of Tallinn.
Tallinn offers a great diversity of experiences available to visitors.
While the lower part of the Old Town is packed with various places offering mostly gastronomical entertainment, the Upper Town represents a marvelous attraction for history appreciators.
From here, you can see how large and diverse Tallinn could be.
This tour offers a lovely opportunity to learn many curious facts about Estonia and get familiar with the history of Tallinn's most important landmarks. You will see how different eras of Estonia's development got reflected in local architecture and hear many exciting stories about former residents of the Toompea hill manors.
I will be waiting for you next to the entrance to St. Nikolas Church (Niguliste). The more precise location is present on the map. If you still have any questions regarding the meeting spot, don't hesitate to send me a message in advance. I will have a blue folder in my amrs so you will easily find me.
Our meeting spot
You will learn the story of the Danish conquest of Northern Estonia and see several monuments commemorating those events.
You will see the remaining part of the town wall and learn the legends surrounding the Maiden Tower. We will also talk about city fortifications and commerce in old Tallinn.
That stop includes an overview of the Baltic Sea's role in Tallinn's history. You will also see the most artistic neighbourhood of Tallinn from this platform.
That stop includes the stories of St. Olav church and Tallinn's TV tower.
This stop includes a swift introduction of the city's development path. You will see the skyscrapers built within the past decades. You will also learn the story of the city guardian. If we are lucky, we might also meet our local celebrity Steven, who's a very friendly and photogenic seagull.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
