How much world history can fit into one of the smallest capitals in the European Union? More than you’d expect — if you know where to stand. On this walking tour, we draw a Tallinn-centered world map, connecting distant events, foreign ambitions, and unlikely places into one story anchored in the city. By climbing to the high ground of the Old Town, we see Tallinn the way rulers and decision-makers once did — from above, with perspective. From this vantage point, global history stops feeling abstract and begins to make sense beneath our feet, revealing how international forces repeatedly passed through, shaped, and returned to this small hilltop city.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I will be waiting for you on the meeting spot wearing wooden bowtie - recognizable piece of Estonian design. An early-20th-century classic, the wooden bow tie has become a subtle symbol of Estonia’s modern, nature-inspired innovation.
