The Toompea is the old hilltop town/citadel of Tallinn. With its tortuous cobblestoned streets, old walls, and picturesque churches it is worth the climb up from the city.
This place is only a short walk from the lower town but well worth the effort for the views. There are several old Churches, part of the city wall, and the huge Orthodox Church. A nice narrow winding street with souvenir shops leads back down...More

There are several excellent viewing platforms in the Toompea Hill area which afford brilliant views over the town and harbour area. The whole area is worth exploring as there is lts here to see and do.
Once you can find a place at wall, the view is wonderful. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful morning to take photos, especially after the clouds rolled in just after lunchtime.
It was our own fault to not do enough research to realize there was no more actual castle, but more of just a historic area that houses government buildings, etc. Still lovely though. Loved the walls, towers, and views
This is well worth the walk. Parliament and the history of Toompea Hill is fascinating. A must see if in Tallinn, and the views are breath taking.
