There is still a lively debate in Estonia today about whether to preserve this gigantic architectural monument or convert it into a conference center. The building is currently falling into increasing disrepair. Nevertheless, Linnahall is a popular meeting place for both locals and tourists, as its roof offers a view of the Baltic Sea and the city. Furthermore, the Tallinn Stars ice hockey club played its home games there from its founding in 2002 until its dissolution in 2009.

Huge ruin, but the view from the top is worth it.

Fenced and cordoned off, the facility is unfortunately falling into disrepair.

Vanalinn is the oldest part of Tallinn. This part of the city was built in the 13th and 14th centuries and is well preserved. Vanalinn has an elevated part, Toompea Hill, where there are several beautiful viewing points, and a lower part, known as the Lower Town. Both parts were separate administrative units for centuries. They were only united under one administration in 1878. The parts are separated by a wall and connected by two streets. The entire Old Town is worth a visit at any time of year and offers something for everyone, including culinary delights. The view from the Upper Town is highly recommended.

The history of the monastery on the banks of the Pirita River dates back to 1407, when the largest nunnery in Old Livonia was founded here. The monastery, which was named after the founder of the Swedish mother monastery, St. Bridget, retained its original appearance until 1577, when the troops of Ivan the Terrible destroyed the monastery. The massive facade of the main building, the walls, cellars and the cemetery have been preserved to this day. The beautiful park with ruins, which is a popular concert venue in summer, is managed by the Bridget sisters.

A visit to the historic old town is a must during your visit to Tallinn. The UNESCO World Heritage Site has many buildings worth seeing, such as the 700-year-old town hall,
