Toompea Hill, overlooking the Old Town, offers two viewing platforms with panoramic views over the city's red-roofed medieval core. Town Hall Square anchors the Old Town at street level, surrounded by Gothic architecture and, in December, a well-regarded Christmas market. The city walls and towers, largely intact, can be walked in sections and offer another perspective on the medieval fortifications.
Kadriorg Park and Palace, built by Peter the Great, offers a quieter, greener contrast to the Old Town's density, including the KUMU Art Museum inside the park. The Telliskivi Creative City, a converted industrial complex, showcases Tallinn's modern, startup-driven side with galleries, cafes and design shops.
