5 days in Tallinn Itinerary

A historic city with its eye firmly on the future, Tallinn blends medieval fortifications, gleaming skyscrapers, and charming boutiques with a spattering of Soviet relics.

Get a sense of the local culture at Aleksander Nevski Katedraali and Toompea Hill. Visit Kadriorg Palace and Viewing Point Kohtuotsa for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Tallinn: Haapsalu (Haapsalu Old Town & Haapsalu Castle) and Lahemaa rahvuspark (in Vihasoo). Next up on the itinerary: contemplate the long history of Town Hall Pharmacy, step into the grandiose world of Toompea Castle, visit Rotermann Quarter, and don't miss a visit to Long Street (Pikk tanav).
