Lower Old Town
Noted by UNESCO as an 'exceptionally complete and well-preserved medieval' city, Tallinn's Old Town was built between the 13th and 19th centuries. An intimate neighborhood of colorful houses, half-hidden courtyards, ancient guard towers and well-preserved churches, Old Town exudes old-world charm, and Town Hall Square retains the ambience of its days as the center of the Hanseatic League, trading goods from around the world in its central marketplace.
St. Catherine's Passage
The most picturesque of Old Town's lanes, St. Catherine's Passage is a narrow walkway that runs between Viru and Müürivahe streets. The lane is home to the St. Catherine's Guild, where you can admire glasswork, ceramics and leather goods created by local artisans using traditional methods.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Tallinn's Old Town is home to a treasure trove of medieval architecture and Town Hall Square proves to be one of the city's most photogenic subjects. Among the sites you'll see includes the 615-year-old Town Hall topped with a red clay roof and adorned with water spouts in the shape of dragons.
CRAFT BREWERY
Põhjala was founded in Tallinn, Estonia at the end of 2011 by four Estonian beer enthusiasts and home brewers.
Soon thereafter the company was joined by a Scottish head brewer, Chris Pilkington, with a few years of Brewdog experience under his belt. Starting out with just 5 × 24-hl fermenters, they more than quadrupled their annual production capacity in just 2.5 years.
Since 2014, Põhjala has poured beers at many beer festivals around the world - from TCBW organized by them in Tallinn, to Cigar City's Hunahpu's Day in Tampa, Florida and Young Master Invitational in Hong Kong. Põhjala has focus on porters, barrel ageing and local ingridents from the forests of Estonia. Its name is translated „Northern realm" in English.
