Wait, the priests put a dead body inside the church!? What’s the deal with that random deer statue? Where did they execute people in the olden days? How much did that toilet cost!? These are just some of the many mysteries we will uncover on my Tallinn Old Town walking tour.
Tallinn’s medieval centre is one of the best-preserved in Europe, but beyond the UNESCO heritage facades, there’s a world of unusual and forgotten stories hidden in plain sight. On this alternative old town walking tour, we’ll explore the city’s past through its overlooked details, strange stories, and long-forgotten scandals.
What to Expect on the Old Town Walking Tour
This is not your typical Old Town walking tour. Instead of focusing on the usual historical dates and famous landmarks, we’ll dive into storytelling. Every street in Old Town has a story, but not all of them are well known. Travellers and locals walk right past these hidden stories every day, not realising what lies beneath the surface. As we navigate the narrow streets of Old Town, you’ll hear stories that challenge what you thought you knew about Tallinn’s past.
Some of the stops and topics along the way include:
- The eerie history behind a church that once housed a corpse
- The mystery of Tallinn’s most curious statue and its secret meaning
- A deep dive into medieval justice: where criminals met their fate and how public punishments worked
- Tallinn’s most famous myths and superstitious legends
- The hidden symbols and overlooked details that reveal forgotten aspects of Tallinn’s history
