Tallinn has one of Europe's best-preserved medieval old towns, with cobblestone streets, city walls, and watchtowers all within easy walking distance of the port. Toompea Hill offers viewing platforms over the red rooftops, and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and St. Olaf's Church are notable landmarks. The old town's cafes and amber jewelry shops make for an easy, walkable day.
