The Tallinn Town Hall, built in the early 14th century, is located next to Raekoja Plats, a Gothic building. Since 1530, the roof of the town hall has stood the symbol of Tallinn - the guardian Thomas, when you climb to the top, you can overlook the whole city. In June every year, it is the Old Town Festival (OldTownDays), which usually lasts for 4 days. There will be many vendors in the Town Hall and the square next to it, and several concerts, dances and medieval themed carnivals will be held.

Now we come to another great highlight in the city: St Mary's Cathedral.
St Mary's Cathedral
Ticket Price: 2 EUR
Recommended Length of Stay: 1-1 Hours
Location: Toom-Kooli 6, 10130 Tallinn, Estonia
Nestled in the middle of Toompea Hill, this radiant medieval church is the famous dome church. It is the main Lutheran church in Estonia, built before 1233. Because of continuous renovations and reconstructions, the church shows a mixed architectural style. Although the main building of the church is from the 14th century, its Baroque tower top was added in the late 1770s. Historically, it was the church of the German aristocratic upper class in Estonia, which can be clearly confirmed as soon as you enter the church door. The interior of the church is filled with exquisite 17th to 20th century noble coat of arms and 13th to 18th century tombstones. Famous people buried here include Pontus de la Gardie, who led the Swedish army in the Great Northern War, and the Baltic-German Admiral Adam Johann von Krusenstern, who led Russia's first expeditionary force.
Reviews from Real Guests:
BEARLTU: A wonderful church, established before 1233 and repeatedly rebuilt. There are more than 100 Coat of Arms, made in memorial to dead people, which are wonderfully colorful and intricately designed.
