Introduction
The city of Tallinn has been shaped since the 11th century and is still not finished. Let’s go and see what level he is in more detail. With this tour, we try to get a glimpse of the city, which is constantly changing. Our journey goes from the Middle Ages to the present day, i.e. we measure the kilometers on the time-polished cobblestone road of the old town as well as on the freshly laid asphalt in Noblessner. Since the sea has attracted people throughout the ages, we mostly go along the Tallinn waterfront, where there is a lot of history and places to see. With so much to explore, what better way to do it than on our electric bikes. Get ready and go! See more in the “What to expect” section.

What to expect

During the hike we will see the following points of interest:

Russalka monument

Walking along the Pirita Promenade, one of Tallinn’s most well-known landmarks will surely catch your eye – the 16-meter-high Russalka monument – an angel standing on a tall granite pillar, pointing in the direction where the Russalka ship went north. It is the best work of Estonia’s first sculptor, which has been attracting the eyes of passers-by since 1902.

Park of Kadriorg

If you want to enjoy greenery and beautiful architecture in Tallinn, you should head towards Kadrioru Park. One of the most prominent castle parks in Estonia and Northern Europe invites both locals and guests to explore. The gem of the park is the fully restored Kadrioru Castle with its Upper and Lower gardens. In the park you can also find the office building of the President of the Republic, museums, Luige ponds and much more.

Song field

As you know, Estonians are a people of song, and as a confirmation of this, we have the grand and much-loved Tallinn Song Square to show you. A place where Estonians have come together again and again to demonstrate their unity and unwavering will to be independent. The singing revolution took place here in 1988, in which 300,000 people, or every third Estonian, allegedly participated. This event was an important milestone in achieving independence from foreign rule. In addition to singing parties, people come to the singing square to enjoy concerts, festivals, exhibitions, cultural and sports events and, of course, the enchanting views of Tallinn Bay.

Maarjamäe memorial site

On Maarjamäe you can find the memorial to the victims of Estonian communism, the German military cemetery and the Soviet-era memorial to the fallen Red Army soldiers. Different nationalities, ideologies and emotions meet in the complex with a long history.

Pirita Harbor and Olympic Hotel

The promenade that starts from the city center and runs along the seashore ends at the Pirita River, where you can find the port, the bathing beach and the Olympic complex. It is one of the most popular summer resorts among the people of Tallinn, which has been attracting people for decades. Pirita gained its greater fame as the host of the 1980 Olympic regatta, for which the buildings built are still in use today.

Pirita Monastery

On the right bank of the mouth of the Pirita River, the ruins of the largest nunnery in Old Livonia rise. Today, the monastery, which is used as a beloved concert venue and museum, has become an irreplaceable part of the cityscape. Next to the ruins of St. Birgitta’s monastery, we can also find a modern monastery complex, blessed in 2001.

City hall

Linnahall, located west of Tallinn’s cruise port, was ready for the 1980 Olympic Games. As the honor and glory of the Soviet Union, the building included an ice rink, a harbor, a cafe and a concert hall. Linnahall was the only public object by the sea in Soviet times and was widely used by the townspeople. Today, the neglected building has been used more as a canvas for street artists.

Tallinn Old Town

The old town of Tallinn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invites you with its medieval milieu and well-preserved buildings. The network of buildings and streets built in the Middle Ages is largely preserved to this day, providing an exceptional opportunity to experience historic architecture and modern conveniences. In the Old Town, you can find countless cafes, restaurants, theaters, clubs, residential buildings, galleries and museums. The pearl of the old town is one of the most important squares in Estonia – Town Hall Square.

Telliskivi creative town

Telliskivi Loomelinnak, which brings color and freshness to the cityscape, has established itself on the site of the former Baltic Railway factory. 250 companies, numerous shops and food places operate here. A former industrial area has become a wildly popular leisure spot where you can enjoy all forms of art. Not only art has found its way to the campus, but also several innovative startups. Here, business and culture go hand in hand

Balti station and market

If the destination or starting point is Tallinn, you can most likely end up at Balti station. From Balti station, passenger trains move in different directions in Estonia, be it an electric train to Paldisk or a diesel train to Valka. A few hundred meters away is Balti Jaama Turg, which was renovated in 2017. The market is home to up to 300 traders offering food, handicrafts, antiques and more.

Patarei sea defense facility/prison

A magnificent fortified defense complex on the shores of Tallinn Bay, which has performed various tasks throughout history. Originally built on the orders of the Russian Tsar Nicholas I, the fortress was supposed to provide protection against threats from the sea, which it did, but with the development of armaments, the building lost its intended purpose and was later used as a military barracks and prison. Batarei prison closed its doors for good in 2005. Today, cultural events are organized in the Patarei sea fortress, and by 2026 it is planned to build offices, galleries, cafes, a museum and shops there

Seaplane Harbour/Maritime Museum

As part of the Maritime Museum, the renovated reinforced concrete seaplane hangar is an interesting and interactive stopover to learn about Tallinn’s maritime history. Over 200 authentic exhibits, traveling exhibitions, exciting simulators, boats and sailboats can be found in the hangar and harbor with a century-long history. The most important exhibit of the airport is Estonia’s only preserved submarine Lembit.

Noblessner

The former most important submarine factory of Tsarist Russia has undergone a real transformation today. The former military industry has become a beautiful seaside public place in Tallinn, which is adorned with new developments with outstanding architecture, a beautiful beach promenade, a harbor, restaurants and historical buildings for cultural events. The former industrial buildings of Noblessner today house Proto’s discovery factory and art center Kai
