What Toompea Is (And Why You Should Go)
Toompea is the hill above the Old Town — historically the seat of power, and today the place for Tallinn’s best panoramas.
Even if you’re not “a history person,” the viewpoint walk is worth it.
The Two Viewpoints
- Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform for the famous Old Town rooftop view.
- Patkuli Viewing Platform for walls, depth, and drama.
Small Toompea Extras That Make It Better
- Toompea Castle for “seat of power” context.
- Danish King’s Garden for a calmer pause.
- Pikk Hermann Tower for symbolic Tallinn/Estonia vibes.
Pair Toompea With…
- An Old Town coffee afternoon.
- A romantic dinner night.
- A sunset photo walk.
