Why It’s a Great “Medieval Tallinn” Add-On
Tallinn’s Old Town is beautiful from the outside — but the Great Guild Hall gives you a sense of how the medieval city worked: merchants, trade, and a Baltic Sea worldview.
It’s especially satisfying if you’re already interested in the Hanseatic side of Tallinn rather than just the postcard lanes.
A Hanseatic-Feeling Walk
Make a simple Old Town loop that stays coherent:
- Town Hall Square → Great Guild Hall → Fat Margaret → coastal gate area
Pair It With
- Niguliste Museum for medieval sacred art
- Tallinn City Wall for the defensive side of the story
Practical Notes
For current exhibitions and hours, check the official Estonian History Museum information for the Great Guild Hall.
