We started our walking tour of Tallinn Old Town in Toompea Hill. But it doesn’t really matter where you start. Tallinn is also small enough that you won’t get too lost.
We were told most Estonians don’t really like the cathedral, as it was built in 1900 at a time when Estonia was part of the Russian Empire. But it’s beautiful to look at.
When sightseeing in Tallinn, you never know what you’ll see by looking up! Be sure to look out for the drain pipe shaped like a large cowboy boot, complete with spurs.
Also known as the “Dome Church,” this is Estonia’s oldest church, built sometime before 1233. You can climb to the top of the 226-foot spire for incredible views of Tallinn Old Town below.
