With the two kilometers remaining from the original city wall, Tallinn boasts one of the best preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. To a large extent, it is precisely this system of walls and towers that gives the old town its magical charm.

The city fortification of Tallinn (since 1265) is still pretty well preserved (about 50% = 2 km). I liked that very much.

Beautiful and well-preserved city walls. Anyone who loves city walls like these should definitely visit Visby.
