Experience Tallinn, Estonia's Capital City, on a narrated drive and walking tour during this exciting 3.5-hour journey. Drive around the Old City's medieval walls, through the modern city center to Song Festival Ground before disembarking near Toompea Hill for the short walk into the Upper Town of Old Tallinn. The centerpiece of Upper Old Town is Palace Square. In the square you will see Toompea Castle, the current home of Estonia's Parliament. Next visit the historic Russian Orthodox Cathedral named for Alexander Nevsky. The Cathedral stands as the dominating landmark in Palace Square. Continue on to St. Mary's Cathedral.
