Tour of Tallinn Old Town and Bastion Tunnels
Overview
We welcome you on a private tour of our beautiful and unique Old Town. Tallinn is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe and therefore listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking on cobblestone streets you will find yourself in outdoor museum with extraordinary exhibitions such as historical and architectural rarities. Through exciting stories we bring you back to the Middle Ages with crusades and monks, nobles and kings, salt traders and guildsmen, headsmen and prisoners, master-craftsmen and apprentices. Back then attack was a constant worry, so like any respectable medieval town, Tallinn has it`s bastion walls and underground passageways. After a walking tour a guide will arrange entrance and lead you to explore the old Bastion Tunnels. During the Soviet period the tunnels were further modernized. You will see some of the old equipment leftover from that era, as well as parts of facility that still retain medieval look.
At the end, please admire the Carved Stone Art.
