What to see in Tallinn
Tallinn Attractions
A city steeped in history and a rich cultural heritage, Tallinn
is a sightseer's paradise and a great place to explore on foot or
by bus. Dubbed 'mini Prague', the beautiful cobble-stoned streets
of the Old Town are the perfect place to start your discovery of
the city.
Featuring old buildings and churches, such as Alexander Nevsky
Cathedra and St Olav's, the tallest church in Medieval Europe,
travellers will love the enchanting feel of the town. Stroll
through the Estonian Open Air Museum, take the kids to the Tallinn
Zoo for the day, or pack a picnic and enjoy a day out at the
Botanical Gardens.
