Sites and Points of Interest

Only a few blocks from all the Reval Hotels in Tallinn, the medieval town is a UNESCO world heritage site. The walls, towers and churches date back as far as the 13th Century. Winding, cobbled streets lead to merchants’ houses, courtyards and handicraft stalls. The Old Town has two parts – Toompea Hill, once home to the noble families who ruled the country, and Lower Town.
