    1 | For me the best view in Tallinn, the whole Old Town is right in the palm of your hand. A visit shouldn't be missing from any itinerary, even if you only have a few hours in the city. 2 | Very nice photos from the viewpoint in the late afternoon before sunset in summer. 3 | About 5 minutes walk from this viewpoint is the similarly beautiful Patkuli viewpoint. I recommend going to it first and then to Kohtuotsa.

    One of the best viewing point over Tallinn. Unfortunately the "The time we had" has been vandalized so you can't read it anymore but still the view is worth the walk even on cold winter nights.

    Old Tallinn, upper town. There are several viewing platforms at the top and this one, in my opinion, is the most interesting and beautiful. The whole old town is at a glance. Well, I also remember that the wind blew my cap down from there....

    Definitely the must visit places in the Tallinn. The view is incredible. The beautiful red color of all the houses. Amazing. There are three viewing points but this one is the best one. I was a bit disappointed, I really wanted to see and have a picture with "The Times We Had" quote but unfortunately they spoiled the beauty of the location.

    Great view on a city. To get there you need to walk over whole old city, so it's a good point to walk.

    This is one of my favorites places in Old Tallinn town. There are two ways of entering here. You can enter here in steps. First we did worry because we came with our baby in a stroller but then when we walked towards the road to up, we eventually ended up here. If you have a difficulty take the steps then the best way to use the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and further towards more up you find this view point

    If you are lucky and not too many cruise ships are in town you may also meet Herman the seagull, who is often there to pose for tourist or maybe to have a sharp eye on them. Who knows..... Also the guy serving the souvenirs shop might need a rest as you after walking half day to the city. Therefore take a break and enjoy what you see from there

  • 5/5 Inga M. 1 year ago on Google
    A great spot to have a view of the old town and it’s brick-colored rooftops

  • 5/5 Vitruvian Vision (. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice view over old town, but I prefer patkuli platform because you can see so many districts all at once. However, the night views here over old town can be quite magical.

  • 5/5 Başar K. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best views of Tallinn to see all the things about this beautiful city together.

  • 5/5 Nina F. 9 months ago on Google
    May 2023 Definitely the best place to see the beautiful city of Tallinn! You need to be fit to get up here 😂 It was worth it! Our 1st Baltic country 🇪🇪

  • 5/5 Nikolay M. 6 months ago on Google
    This is easily the greatest view you can get of the city. Most of old town is visible, Saint Olaf's church stands out above the rooftops and you can see even the seacoast. It's very popular, there are a lot of tourists and especially guided tours, so you might have to wait few minutes to take good photos.

    This place offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the charming Old Town. The elevated vantage point provides a perfect opportunity to appreciate the city's architectural beauty and picturesque surroundings. Visiting the Kohtuotsa platform is a must for anyone seeking a memorable and awe-inspiring experience in Tallinn. What makes it better is it's only a short walk from the Town Hall!

Hellemann Tower and Town Wall Walkway

👍👍 It was used as prison and a weapon tower back in the 14th century. During the visit you'll definitely get a good feel of the place. This tower gives an amazing view of the town hall and is a must visit. Nowadays it houses art gallery and is just a place to visit. The ticket for entry is pretty cheap...

🫤 It is obvious that there is no worth-seeing view here. Just an ordinary city view, nothing special. There is a staircase that leads you to a city park.
