Finding your way around Tallinn is easy. If you’re not in the lower town of Vanalinn, then you’re most likely in the upper town of Toompea. These two districts make up the city’s historic centre. Originally, it was on this limestone plateau, behind you, that the clergy and nobility made their home. Once a fortress of aristocratic power, Toompea is now home to foreign embassies and government ministries, housed in grand neoclassical mansions. Today, the area is brought to life by the comings and goings of diplomats, tourists, and artists who’ve fallen in love with the sweeping views from its terraces. Toompea is a world of its own, in the best possible way.
