In Northern Europe there are many interesting places that tourists want to visit. One of these is Ancient Tallinn. Yes, this city is not large in area, but it has a huge number of architectural sights, squares, monuments, etc. Every person will be interested in visiting here, so it is worth considering the most outstanding places.
Most tours start at the Town Hall Square, which is incredibly small and surrounded by a variety of old buildings that reveal their amazing history from different angles. If the trip falls during the Christmas festivities, then it is here that tourists will see the main Christmas tree of the city, which is decorated in accordance with the style of the whole city.
In other words, the atmosphere is incredible, it is impossible to describe all the delights.
Of course, on such a square there must be a main decoration – this is the town hall. This is an architectural monument, which is a real work of art. The interiors here are decorated incredibly stylishly, with ascetic rigor, and skillful carvings on benches and slabs add some special features.
There is also the opportunity to walk along a very picturesque street in the city of Sayakyak. There you can see a monument called the Church of the Holy Spirit.
It is completely made in the Gothic style, which gives even more sophistication to the area. Stepped lanterns and a tiled roof are the real highlight of this Temple. Also attention is drawn to the wooden altar, which was made with carvings.
To look at Ancient Tallinn from a bird’s eye view is a kind of pleasure. To do this, it is recommended to go to Toompea Hill. Of course, the path will not be easy: a tourist needs to climb the steps of the Patkulev Stairs, and then walk along Pikk-Yalg Street.
It is rarely talked about, but this is the path that connects the two parts of Tallinn. It is impossible to reach the final goal by other roads.
Despite its small area, Ancient Tallinn has a huge number of small streets in which it is easy to get lost if there is no guide.
Knowledgeable people never start walking around the city on their own, because there is a big risk of getting lost and going to the wrong place that was originally planned. Perhaps that is why the profession of a guide is valued here and is considered one of the highest paid.
