Tallinn’s Old Town Delights: Cider Tasting, Live Music and Medieval Architecture

See the Old Town’s authentical Gothic architecture (UNESCO heritage). Taste the Estonian artisan ciders at the Scheeli restaurant.¨

Step back in time and discover the enchanting medieval city of Tallinn, the jewel of Northern Europe. With its immaculately preserved old town, Tallinn offers a rare glimpse into the Hanseatic trading era and the city's rich cultural heritage. The city’s old town has been astonishingly well preserved and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997.

Take a short drive from the cruise port to explore Lower Old Town, where you'll be transported to a bygone era as you wander through the charming old streets. Admire the stunning medieval guild houses, Gothic architecture, and other landmarks like the Great Guild House, House of Brotherhood of the Blackheads, and the Church of Holy Spirit.

The heart of Lower Old Town is the Town Hall Square, which boasts some of Tallinn's most famous buildings, including the oldest surviving town hall in the Baltic countries and Scandinavia. It remains the most important representational building in the city, and it was awarded Europa Nostra 2nd prize for the revival of the last standing Gothic Town Hall in Northern Europe. Nearby, the Scheeli Pank restaurant offers a chance to taste several varieties of Estonian cider and further spoils your senses with a short live music concert. The building dates back to the early 20th century and follows Tallinn's architectural traditions, featuring a tower, balconies, railings, and plinth parts hewn from limestone. Stroll through St. Catherine's Passage and take in the sights and sounds of the city before returning to the yacht.
