You cannot visit Tallinn and not go to Toompea, the ancient citadel where the nobility lived, literally looking down on the ordinary townsfolk below. It is home to Toompea Castle (not a castle in the traditional sense and now houses the Estonian parliament), the impressive...More

Two view point places on Toompea Hill you can't miss. They are probably THE best view of the old town, port area. For better less crowded selfies, you might need to wait for a while as there are always tour groups coming and going. There...More

Toompea Hill is where the 'castle' is. Castle in the loosest term as not what I necessarily see as a castle. It also has the wonderful Russian church with minarets. Go to the edge for the most spectacular views over Tallinn. Go down the steps...More

This is a must stop spot for all visitors. Be prepared for large tour groups jockeying for position to take photographs. Be there early to avoid the crowd. The view was great. Souvenir shops and cafes lined the street.

The place is really easy to reach and the view is amazing. Screensaver indeed! It's a little windy but it's fine! Worth going there to have the view!

You get a magnificent view of the city. Watch the sunset here if you are up late on a Summer night. This is definitely a highlight of Tallinn. I can imagine the view in Winter with the snow-capped roofs across the land. Take your time...More

There is lots to see on the hill itself. There are two very good viewpoints of the old town too. Well worth a visit.

Take your camera because you will definitely want pictures from this advantage point. Every direction offers a different photo op. There are stairs and cobblestones and you will undoubtedly pass tour groups. Go early to avoid the crowds.

Interesting church, many cafes and stores. Small platform overlooks the old town. Great view of the warren of streets and buildings. Worth the stop and photo opportunity.
