Town Hall Square

The picturesque Town Hall Square is the centre of the Old City of Tallinn.

It is surrounded by elaborate merchant houses and with its many cafés is a major tourist attraction.

From the centre of the square it is just possible to see the tops of all five spires of the Old City.

Historically the square has served as a market and meeting place

and remains the social heart of the city

 - a venue for open-air concerts, handicraft fairs and medieval markets.
