Old Town in Tallinn is considered to be the best-preserved medieval town in Northern Europe. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

We will start with the Lower Town and see the Latin quarter, where Dominican Monastery was built in 13th century. You will also visit Pikk street that used to be the main street of the town in Middle Ages. We will find there the houses of merchant and craftsmen guilds. While discovering history of Tallinn we will see the churches of the Holy Ghost, St Nicolas and St. Olaf. After a walk in the Lower Town we will head to the Upper Town, going up the Short Leg street, you will understand why people say that Tallinn is the town that limps.
