Tallinn’s medieval wall is considered one of the best-preserved fortifications in Northern Europe.
On this tour, we will walk along the wall and explore its beautiful towers and the remains of the bastions built in the 17th century.
You will learn about sieges in medieval Tallinn, why crossbows were banned by the Pope, how people measured the distance between towers, and much more about medieval warfare.
Along the way, we will also see all the main highlights of Old Tallinn and discuss daily life in those times. How did people deal with heartbreak and drunkenness? Why were journeymen obliged to travel? Where and how were gossiping women punished, and what was the penalty for minting fake coins?
Plenty of medieval curiosities await to be discovered. Welcome!
