Toompea Castle

It's a very impressive building near other sights on Tallinn. The building is very well maintained, and the tower is iconic. There is a very beautiful garden nearby.

Mildly interesting and informative tour about and around Estonian parlament. Great guide, though !

A beautiful castle and citadel which now is the seat of the Estonia parliament. The garden behind the citadel is pretty as well.

Awesome tour guide, free tours available at 11 am, though check their website for dates and times as they change through the year! The guide was so knowledgeable and seriously one of the best tours I had in Tallinn, highly recommend!

A former castle and royal residence that dates back to the medieval times, Toompea Castle now functions as the central location for the Estonian government, where the parliament sits. The place is usually closed to public visits as it's a government building, but occasionally holds public tours (either twice or once per week). We were lucky to be able to join a tour in August on a Thursday, when the parliament was not in session, where we were given a thorough briefing of Estonian history and caught a glimpse of the different sections of the building. You can learn more about the public tours through the website, no sign ups required, they just need a photo ID from you with a security check. Really enjoyed the behind the scene tour into the building and its inner workings. Even without the tour, it's worth just dropping by the area to just admire the function of the place and its rich history.

Toompea Castle in Tallinn is an absolute gem that transports you through centuries of history. Its commanding presence atop the hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city below. Exploring the castle's chambers and walls, you can feel the echoes of bygone eras and imagine the stories that have unfolded within its walls. The blend of architectural styles, from medieval to Baroque, adds to its charm. A visit here is a journey back in time that allows you to connect with Estonia's rich heritage and experience the grandeur of its past rulers. Toompea Castle remains a symbol of Estonia's resilience, heritage, and sovereignty in modern times. As the seat of the Estonian Parliament (Riigikogu), it plays a crucial role in the country's governance and democratic processes. The castle stands as a reminder of Estonia's journey towards independence and self-determination, reflecting the nation's enduring commitment to preserving its cultural identity. Its historical significance continues to inspire a sense of unity and pride among Estonians, serving as a testament to the country's strength and determination to shape its own destiny.

Toompea castle which is also the home to the Estonian parliament, it is a beautiful building with an extraordinary setting at the top of the town surrounded by the city walls. There is a nice square in front of the building and a park to the left where you can overlook thev town from above. The tour and opening times changes so check their website.

Rich in history and a very conservative area of the city. Bustling with cruise ship tourists in the summer time but pretty much traditions still adhered to especially the neighboring church. Area is full of life with colors and unique architectures reflecting the Russian influence in the country.
