11th century marketplace oozes with charm
Oct 2019 • Solo
This charming marketplace oozes local culture. There was soo much positive energy in this area. I stumbled across the oldest continuing running pharmacy, Raepteek, which is across the Town Hall Square. It is also a mini museum displaying antique medical tools.

Charming
Jul 2019
Tallinn must be the best preserved example of a medieval city, certainly in Northern Europe, even though the Russians did consider demolishing it. The city is well preserved with some stunning architecture none more so than here in the Town Square, the heart of the city. Overseen by the famous Old Thomas weather vane who oversees and protects the city. It is nice that they have retained the cobbled streets here that embellish the effect.

It is nice just to have a wander. Make sure you visit the old Pharmacy on the corner of the square. It is amazingly well preserved inside, including the counter and ceiling.

Old City Main Square
Jun 2019
Plats, located next to Tallinn's City Hall, is the main square of the Old City. It is a very lively place to visit (there are quite a few interesting historical building) and get a quick bite from one of many local restaurants.

Beautiful old town
Feb 2020 • Solo
Tallinn's Town Hall Square is the “heart” of the Old Town - spacious, but at the same time cozy in the frame of its fabulous colorful houses and paved with ancient cobblestones, it witnessed the long and turbulent history of the city: funny carnivals and lush processions, often replacing each other here foreign rulers announced their decrees and laws

As you enter the square, I suggest you stand in a corner, take a moment and just have a proper look at the amazing architecture around. Don’t get distracted by all the shops and restaurants. This beautiful square deserves some real attention!
