Upper Town
For centuries, this part of Tallinn was home to the nobility, with highborn families ranging from German to Danish, Russian to Swedish, as well as Scottish and French calling it their home. Learn who were the Baltic Germans, visit spectacular viewpoints looking down on the Lower Town and get a chance to compare Orthodox and Lutheran churches.
As the medieval city's center of trade and commerce, not to mention home to the majority of the settlement's population, the Lower Town was the heart of Old Tallinn for well over 600 years and continues to play an important role to this day.
Medieval Pharmacy (optional)
Tallinn boasts the oldest still functioning pharmacy in all of Europe. It is possible to visit this establishment should the group wish it and see what medicines have been used in Tallinn over the centuries. For an extra price (see below) it is possible to taste some klarett (a medieval red wine-based drink) and get a more thorough look at the building and hear its history.
As an important center for trade on the Baltic, Tallinn needed to be well fortified. The wall, built and expanded over several centuries, is a must see site during any visit to Tallinn. The types of towers used developed hand-in-hand with the development of siege weapons and Tallinn has many towers to show from various centuries using different building techniques for defense.
