Toompea Castle, Tallinn

Rich in history and a very conservative area of the city. Bustling with cruise ship tourists in the summer time but pretty much traditions still adhered to especially the neighboring church. Area is full of life with colors and unique architectures reflecting the Russian influence in the country.

It is a beautiful place and the walls of the castle are amazing. We just saw from outside, and consider that during winter it is hard to walk in the stairs

Beautiful place. Has a pretty cathedral of Alexander near it. Its very close to the central boulevard with many good restaurants and coffee shops. Pastoral houses and roads. Very recommended!!!

Only saw it from the outside but like everything else in Tallin it’s ruddy beautiful!

This is a medieval castle on Toompea hill in the central part of the city. Nowadays it houses the Parliament of Estonia. The castle has been revamped countless times through the centuries, but still retains the basic shape it was given in the 13th and 14th centuries. From its front, you’ll be able to see a pink, Baroque palace dating to the time of Catherine the Great. And a look at its opposite side, visible from the base of the hill, will give you a much more medieval perspective. Toompea Castle is open to the public and guided tours are free of charge and can be taken in Estonian, Russian or English.
