Capitals of the world: what to see in Tallinn

Are you going on vacation or want to spend an interesting weekend? Go to the capital of Estonia, where you will get many unforgettable impressions, and I'll tell you what to see in Tallinn.

Town Hall Square

This place is the heart of the city. The square appeared long before the construction of the town hall. People constantly gathered there, festivals and various fairs were held. Here even criminals were even executed.

Now life is boiling on this square. In winter, a city tree is set up here, and in summer you can go to one of the many cafes or one of the souvenir shops located in the colorful old houses huddled together.

Yes, the wonderful city of Tallinn. What to see in it yet? What are the most interesting sights?

Church of St. Olav

Be sure to visit the church of St. Olaf, this is one of the highest European structures. It reaches 127 meters, and its spire is visible even from remote outskirts of the city. This building was built in the 15th century.

There is an interesting legend associated with the name of this church. In order to attract merchant ships to the city, people decided to build a temple that would be clearly visible from the sea. But no one took on such work. Once there was a stranger who agreed to take on it, asking for a very large amount, but put forward one condition. He promised not to charge residents of the city if they knew until the end of the construction what his name was. The secret of the name was revealed just before the end of the construction. When the stranger was called, he was at the top of the tower. Frightened, Olev fell down and crashed to death. The townspeople decided to name the church in his honor.

In the upper part of the church is equipped with an observation deck, to which leads a steep spiral staircase. Above, the entire city is seen as in the palm of your hand. The interior of the temple is also magnificent. Therefore, if you do not know what to see in Tallinn, be sure to go here.

Botanical Garden

In this city there are many beautiful gardens and parks with a huge variety of plants. This is very famous for Tallinn. What to see from this magnificence, decide for yourself, but I would recommend that you visit the Botanical Garden.
