Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed near this place so we saw it several times and sat on a bench to enjoy the sunshine. It’s one of the most beautiful main square in Europe with the Gothic town hall and other nice historic buildings. It’s very popular for tourists and local people, there are lots of restaurants, bars and cafes. It’s a must-see attraction.

I happened to visit the place on a Sunday. There was a medieval styled event going on. Singing, medieval clothing and tents. Pretty funky experience.

Beautiful area. Less crowded than I had imagined. Was easy to get a table for six people. There are a lot of restaurants and bars where you can have a meal and drinks. Great opportunity for photos also.

A grand square to walk in, to see the buildings including the old Pharmacy. The old Town Hall one could go in. To see others strolling was a pleasure.

In Tallinn Town Hall Square you can visit a unique Christmas market in the world. It takes you back to the Middle Ages. Incredibly beautiful experience !!!

We want to go to Tallinn in December 2017 for the Christmas market. Is it a good market firstly?
Also Is there an outdoor ice skating rink anywhere in the city?
And finally I will be going with my girlfriend for 4 days. I imagine the Christmas market will take up one day but what is there to do on the other days and the evenings? Can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere! We're both aged between 19-22

Hello, the market is good, but I think You will spend there 2-3 hours, not a day. Outdoor ice ring is in the OldTown on Harju street, Can recommend .
Try to enjoy Tallinn old town, but also seaside with seaplane harbour, Kadriorg and KUMU museum, go to ski at Pirita or Nõmme...
Shure, You will like Tallinn

Hi. Could anyone recommend a hotel room in the old town square for 2 adults and 3 kids? Preferably something with some character and good views of the town square.
Cheers
Anything in mainly in the old town is basic,
3 star
They do have character
but breakfasts are limited
The better ones just on the outskirts like the other Pk marine
Or the kruetzwald hotel
The st Olav is very central good walking distance to the square
And good value for money
But don't expect anything special for breakfast
