Private Walking Tour of Tallinn Old Town | Points of Interest & Landmarks

The Old Town of Tallinn has been inscripted in the UNESCO world heritage site list in 1997. As they state, ¨The origins of Tallinn date back to the 13th century, when a castle was built there by the crusading knights of the Teutonic Order. It developed as a major centre of the Hanseatic League, and its wealth is demonstrated by the opulence of the public buildings (the churches in particular) and the domestic architecture of the merchants’ houses, which have survived the ravages of fire and war in the intervening centuries.¨
