Vanalinn, Tallinn’s Old Town, is a beautifully preserved medieval quarter that feels like stepping into a storybook. Cobblestone streets wind past colorful merchant houses, Gothic churches, and hidden courtyards, all encircled by impressive stone walls and towers. Town Hall Square is the lively heart, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere from a cozy café. Climbing Toompea Hill offers panoramic views over red-tiled rooftops and the Baltic Sea. By day, it’s a treasure of history and architecture; by night, lantern-lit streets create a magical charm. Vanalinn is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic medieval ambiance with a vibrant modern twist.

Viru Gate is one of the most picturesque entrances to Tallinn’s Old Town, instantly transporting visitors into a medieval fairytale. The twin stone towers, once part of the city’s defensive wall, now frame a lively cobblestone street lined with shops, cafés, and flower stalls. It’s a popular photo spot, especially in the evening when the towers glow warmly against the city lights. Beyond the gate lies Vanalinn’s vibrant heart, making it both a historic landmark and a perfect starting point for exploration. Blending charm and history, Viru Gate is a must-see symbol of Tallinn’s medieval heritage.

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, has a beautiful old town that still retains its original walls and cobblestone streets, as well as 15th-century defense towers. The walls of Tallinn Old Town are one of the best-preserved medieval city walls in Europe.

The interior decoration of Tallinn Town Hall is as simple as its exterior architecture. There are two halls that are worth seeing. The Civic Hall was where banquets were held and city laws were read in the Middle Ages. Today, it is still used for receptions and concerts. The walls of the hall are freshly painted and very bright. There are not many decorations in the hall. The most eye-catching one is the knitted tapestry hanging on the wall, which depicts the life of King Solomon. A careful appreciation of these tapestries shows that the characters are dressed quite noble and their movements are extremely elegant. The whole picture is very harmonious and charming, very similar to the international Gothic art style popular in the late Middle Ages. The Parliament Hall is where the city council gathers to discuss local laws and regulations. Many of the oldest decorations are preserved here. However, the door of the hall was produced by the Tallinn Grand Piano Factory. It is black and varnished, just like a piano cover. There is also a 15th-century wooden carved bench in the hall, covered with a piece of velvet cloth, and decorated with exquisite hollow carvings on both sides of the bench, which is the oldest wood carving artwork in Estonia. In general, the decorations preserved inside Tallinn Town Hall are not as cool and charming as those in other major European city town halls. However, as the only Gothic town hall left in several Nordic countries, it is also a window to peek into and understand Tallinn's medieval art.
