St Catherine's Passage
Once home to a Dominican monastery, the old monastic complex has become famous as a street of artisans and craftsmen. From textiles and leather to stain glass and woodcarvings, everything sold on this street is locally made in Estonia. Even for those not interested in souvenirs, this location offers a look into traditional Estonian crafts and designs.House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads
As one of the most prestigious organisations of Tallinn in the middle ages, the Brotherhood organised celebrations, formed the cavalry force of the Lower Town and much more. Discover who these people were and what makes their hall stand out on the streets of Tallinn. 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.
Lower Town
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.
City Wall
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.
Guild Halls
Often regarded as medieval workers' unions, the guilds were the basis of medieval urban economy. Their grand halls can be found decorating the streets of the Old Town to this very day. How they functioned and what they did will be explored during the tour.
Architecture
Dating back 8 centuries, Tallinn has seen a lot during its existence. Invaders, cultures, art styles and more have all come and gone, and each have left their own mark on the city's landscape and structures. Out guides will make certain you will get to see a wide range of styles if that is your fancy.
History
We want to share with you our knowledge of and enthusiasm for everyday life in medieval Tallinn - how the city functioned, who lived here and why did so many large nations, such as Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Poland and the Teutonic Order, fight over this small piece of land for centuries.
