Tallinn’s old town (or lower town) remains as active as it has always been, ever since the 13C when it teemed with merchants and artisans. Town Hall Square, the hub of Vanalinn, the fine medieval buildings, Hanseatic houses bearing witness to a rich mercantile past; all vie for visitors’ attention. Savour its delights by strolling along its paved streets, lingering on a café terrace and exploring the well-preserved ramparts.
