About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Tallinn Old Town, City Center, Tallinn Estonia
Tallinn’s Old Town is divided into two areas – the lower town and the upper town (also called Toompea). Those two towns were once separated by gates, almost like two different cities. Nowadays, the combination of the upper town on the high limestone hill and the lower town at its foot form an expressive skyline that is visible from a great distance both from land and sea. The lower town (all-linn) is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Kiek in de Kok and Bastion Passages Museum, Komandandi tee 2, Tallinn 10130 Estonia
The mysterious Bastion passages, dating back to the 17th to 18th centuries, run beneath Toompea and are an integral part of the city’s defence system together with the town wall and its towers. Enter the tunnels through the Kiek in de Kök Fortifications Museum to learn about their fascinating history and to view Tallinn from below.
Duration: 1 hour
