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 !!!

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.

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.

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
