16 Things to See and Do in Tallinn, Estonia (Updated 2025)

"Sitting atop Toompea Hill, Toompea Castle dates back to the 9th century and now houses the Riigikogu (Estonia’s Parliament); I noted the baroque pink-and-white east wing ordered by Catherine the Great and the medieval stone exterior on the opposite side, and observed the daily sunrise flag-raising tradition and the availability of an English-language tour on Thursdays (advance reservation required)." - Matthew Kepnes
