Freedom Square (Vabaduse väljak) + Victory Column

Freedom Square is Tallinn’s modern civic heart at the edge of the Old Town — a spacious, open landmark anchored by the Victory Column and perfect for starting (or ending) a central Tallinn walk.

Why It’s Worth a Stop

Freedom Square is where Tallinn feels wide and modern — a contrast to the narrow lanes of the Old Town just behind it.

It’s also a practical landmark: easy to orient from, easy to meet friends at, and often linked to city events and public life.

How to Use It in Your Walk

Two simple ways to plan it:

  • Start here: Freedom Square → Toompea viewpoints → Old Town lanes
  • End here: Old Town → sunset light on the square → dinner nearby

Pair It With

  • Vabamu for modern historical context
  • Hidden Gems for a quieter Old Town loop after the square
