THE place for pictures of Old City
We walked up to the viewing platform without expecting too much since we were already up on the hill, but WOW! You see all the red roof tops of the historic buildings and it's really beautiful. Big white birds seem to gather there too and walk really close making for fun photos.

Great Views
Great place to come to whilst in the Old Town to look at the views across the Old Town and take a few photos of the roof-tops. Apparently very busy in the tourist season but hardly anyone there when we visited in November.

Another great vantage point
This is another good place from which to survey Tallinn from above.

You can see the red roofs of the Old Town and the spires of the churches. In addition, you have a great view of modern Tallinn, including some high-rise buildings. It's an interesting contrast between old and new.

Great views
A great place to view the lower part of the old town. It was very busy to get a spot at the front but be patient and you will get a good chance for some photos.

If you like rooftops ...
A view is a view is a view, but I offer two hints on how to get the best from this one. First, do it when you have gained some personal knowledge of the Old Town and can appreciate the landmarks in the cityscape spread out for view. Second, adjourn to a very pleasant little restaurant adjacent to the platform and have a beer or a coffee while you watch the crowds of harrassed sightseers struggling to get room to take their photographs before rushing off to the next attraction.

Must See - Overlooking the Old Town
Super nice place to have an overview over the Old Town until the Sea. You can see the Cruise Ships as well. My recommendation is to go there early. The platforms can get very crowded after 11 am. It is one of the things you have to go when you are in the Old Town.

This is just one of the pics everyone should take.
There may be a crowd to get to the front, but you are looking right down into the Lower Old Town, and it is right on the path of exploration in the Upper Town.

Its a bit of a steep walk but fairly short walk to get to the viewing point but it gives you a good view.
