Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

This building is a stunning example of Russian architecture in Estonia. It stands out against the skyline. The insides are nicely decorated, though not as elaborately as the exterior. It is free to visit. There is a well stocked religious shop inside the building. There are some cobbles in the area, but on the whole, the cathederal is accessible to people who use a wheelchair. Ramps are used to aid with access.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a really beautiful building. It's very close to other sights in Tallinn. No ticket is needed to enter. Budget some time to see the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral when in Tallinn.

Stunning Orthodox Russian Cathedral. Immaculate inside and out. Opulent interior but you're not allowed to take photos inside. Lots of gold, marble and decorative items. The mosaics are intriguing. Nice views in the surrounding area. Watch the steps when you come down from the Cathedral! Tricky.

Loved the architecture and looking inside. Didn't spend long maybe 10 mins inside. Can't really walk around like cathedrals in UK as roped off. Just go little way in. Don't need tickets to visit.

This is a beautiful Russian Orthodox church. The architecture of this building is amazing. While the inside is not allowed to be photographed, the beauty of the outside more than allows us to enjoy this place.

Absolutely stunning cathedral with Russian architecture. Highly situated and visible all over Tallinn. A must see!

A breathtaking masterpiece of Orthodox grandeur! Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Tallinn is an architectural jewel, with its striking onion domes, intricate mosaics, and rich history radiating spiritual grandeur. The cathedral’s ornate interior, adorned with golden icons and the scent of incense, immerses you in serene reverence. Located atop Toompea Hill, it offers stunning views of the Old Town’s medieval charm. The hauntingly beautiful chimes of its bells add to the mystical atmosphere. Whether you’re drawn to art, history, or quiet reflection, this cathedral is a must-visit. 🕌🕯️🌆 Pro tip: Respect the sanctity during services and visit early to avoid crowds!

No doupt, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral would be one of the main attractions in any city, be it Istanbul, Cairo, Dubai... or Tallinn. In its majesty, the chuch is the heart of the Tallinn old town. For me, Orthodox Christianity with its all too many images and figures and pictures and so is a bit strange thing but, after all, there is no reason not to admire the beauty of architecture and art which it has created.
