The Tallinn Highlights tour is the ultimate way to experience the Estonian capital. This tour ensures that you get to see all the best sites that this beautiful city has to offer. The centre of Tallinn is a historical, cultural and religious hotspot with something to appeal to everyone. With a fantastic mixture of driving and walking, this tour allows you to make the most of the city's picturesque spots as you take photos, enjoy the scenery and see as many sites as possible.

First, you'll be driven through the centre of Tallinn, passing the Kadriorg Park which was founded by the Russian Emperor Peter the Great in honour of his wife. Enjoy an impressive view of Tallinn and the bay as you drive along towards the new St. Birgitta’s convent. On your return, you'll be able to see the Olympic Yachting Complex, Orlov’s summer palace and you can even stop off for a photograph at the Russalka Monument.

The tour will then continue on foot to lower and upper 'Old Tallinn', where there are numerous restaurants, shops and cafes. Firstly, you'll be taken back into the town centre to the Tall Hermann Tower where you will walk to the upper town (Toompea Hill). Enjoy the wonderful panoramic view of this incredible city's architecture. History lovers will get to see the 13th century Dome Church (St Mary’s Cathedral), which hosts over 100 old coats of arms and tombstones. You'll then head towards the shopping area to browse the small boutiques in the centre of town or to have refreshments.

The air-conditioned transportation will take you back to port, or if you wish to stay a little longer in the old town, you may, but it is then your responsibility to get back to your cruise ship on time. A taxi from the old town takes approximately 10 minutes, or sometimes your cruise ship may have a shuttle back.
