Description:

This tour includes not only the sightseeing of the main attractions of the Lower and Upper Town (the Town Hall, the Town Hall Pharmacy, the building of the Grand Guild, the towers Long Hermann and Kick in de Keck, the Short and Long Leg, the garden of the Danish King, etc.), but also visiting those amazing places that are not included in the standard route, but require special attention. “Latin Quarter”, the territory of the former Domnican monastery, where now there are “street of masters” Katarina Kaik and the ruins of the Church of St. George. Catharine, once the largest church in the city. The "Latin Quarter" is located between a section of the medieval city wall with the towers of Helemann and Munkedetagune and the street of Vienna. During the Christmas holidays and in the summer, we will definitely look into the courtyard-well, where everything literally breathes antiquity - after all, it is here that the walls of the monastery chapter and library come out, which, according to scientists, are almost the oldest stone buildings in the city. The street of Vienna (Russian) once led to the planting of merchants from Pskov and Novgorod with the saint. Nicola. And now on the street of Vienna is the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas. True, the building of the church was erected in the early 19th century, however, there are valuable relics in the church, saying that the Moscow tsars gave it their attention. In front of St. John's. Nikolay is the City Museum, located in beautifully preserved medieval buildings. If possible, we’ll come here for a few minutes to talk about it. How were arranged living quarters in houses of 14-16 centuries. The tour also includes a visit to the Dome Church, the main Cathedral of Lutheran Estonia. The interior of this church is unique - on the walls of the church hall there are 109 coats of arms-epitaphs - memorial signs of nobles of Estonia. Each coat of arms is not only historical. But also of great artistic value, showing the highest level of skill of Tallinn wood carvers. Here is the burial of the famous Russian traveler Adam Johann von Krusenstern. On Saturdays, organ concerts are held in the church (beginning at 12.00) and this is a wonderful occasion not only to listen to music, but also to put your thoughts in order, because, like the bell ringing, the organ is able to purify our soul, bring it to peace.
