the medieval north
Tallinn preserves its medieval old town the way few European cities can, with towers and cobbled lanes that feel genuinely unaltered. The walk up to Toompea gives views across the lower town's rooftops, and the streets below are lively without being loud. Beyond the old walls the city has its own quieter rhythms, worth following for an afternoon.
In the app, 54 stops in Tallinn are narrated aloud, about 1h 32m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 65 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
