Fat MargaretStart
The great round gun tower at the harbour gate, now the Estonian Maritime Museum — four floors of seafaring history behind walls metres thick.
KGB Prison Cells
Behind an elegant Art Nouveau front on Pagari Street — the house where free Estonia was born in 1918, then the KGB's terror cellar of cramped, airless cells.
Great Guild Hall
The Estonian History Museum, where the merchant elite once met. Their wealth built the Old Town you are standing in.
Tallinn City Museum
A merchant's house on Vene Street, now eight centuries of daily life under one roof — guild chests, ledgers, a whole city in miniature.
Dominican Monastery
Tallinn's oldest monastery, founded in 1246. Step from the street into thirteenth-century cloisters of worn, carved stone.
Museum of Torture Instruments
By the Viru gate, the grim tools of medieval justice — the pillory of shame on the square, and Harju Street, the 'last road' to the gallows.
Museum of Photography
The Raevangla behind the Town Hall — a 600-year-old town jail whose cells now hold the city's memory in photographs.
Town Hall Pharmacy
Raeapteek, one of Europe's oldest working pharmacies, open since at least 1422 — claret, marzipan and ground unicorn horn once sold side by side.
Adamson-Eric MuseumFinish
A jewel-box museum to one of Estonia's most versatile 20th-century artists, set in a medieval merchant's house. The quiet close to the walk.
Museum of Applied Art & Design (optional)
Off the main route — A 17th-century granary on Lai Street, now home to Estonia's finest ceramics, glass, leather and textile — craft raised to art.
