This is a section of town with some great views over the city and the port. Try not to get mown down by the tour groups from the cruise ships. It is worth finding the second lookout point which seems to be off the path of groups if you are someone who prefers not to be jostled.

Both the Dome Church and especially the Russian (Nevsky) church are beautiful. The "Tall Hermann" tower and the "Pink Palace" (parliament building) are also worth a look and a photo. But the stars of Toompea Hill are the overlooks. One gives an excellent view of the walls and towers surrounding St. Olav's church in the lower town. The other affords... More

Got lucky that it was a sunny day. Having poked around the old town I started uphill and kept going. Some nice shops and cafes along the way as well as picture perfect buildings. Several viewpoints at the summit so walk around. Skip the gift shops up top. More expensive.

Wind your way up to Toompea from any of several directions and be wowed by the great views from the top looking in all directions. Plenty of artists and entertainers to amuse you once you get there.

We were taken here by guide shown the best view point in town also two fabulous churches. Didn't have time to see it all

This time round, i'll be short - one of the most beautiful places i ever visited, especially because we had sunshine that day. Taking a walk on the hill and than descending down the Toompea street, very important for all Estonians, is a really beautiful experience.

Amazing views, well worth the walk up Toompea Hill. Lots of stairs so not for the faint of heart or short of breath. There are a couple of different vantage points, take a hot drink if you venture up in the winter months. I'd recommend going up during the day but the night can be pretty atmospheric.

You must see the incredible views of the town from Toompea Hill! As another reviewer said you will most certainly fall in love at first sight...

If you like great views and want to get a good overall of Tallinn then I'd recommend a visit to Toompea Hill. It's worth the trek up the hill to look from the viewpoints.
