Description
Explore Tallinn's Old Town on a guided tour. Visit Raeapteek, one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, and sample traditional claret and marzipan.
Step into the medieval heart of Tallinn and explore one of Europe’s most beautifully preserved old towns. This guided walking tour through Tallinn Old Town takes you along cobbled streets, past Gothic landmarks, and into hidden corners filled with stories from centuries past.
Your guide will lead you through Town Hall Square, the historic center of city life, while sharing fascinating insights into Tallinn’s Hanseatic heritage, legends, and daily medieval life.
A highlight of the experience is a visit to Raeapteek, one of the oldest continuously operating pharmacies in Europe. Here, discover unusual remedies once used in medieval medicine and sample traditional herbal flavors inspired by historical recipes.
Raeapteek is a truly unique stop because it offers a rare glimpse into living medieval history. Unlike typical museums where exhibits are static, this pharmacy has been operating continuously for centuries, meaning you are stepping into a place that has actively served people for generations. The interior still preserves its historic atmosphere, blending original architecture with authentic artifacts that reflect how medicine was practiced long before modern pharmaceuticals existed.
What makes the experience especially memorable is the chance to explore unusual historical remedies and traditions that feel almost unbelievable today. You can learn about medieval treatments made from herbs, spices, and natural ingredients that were once considered cutting-edge medicine, and even sample traditional herbal flavors inspired by old recipes. It’s a fascinating mix of history, culture, and sensory experience that connects visitors directly to everyday life in the Middle Ages in a very engaging and hands-on way.
Complete your journey with a marzipan tasting, a beloved sweet with deep roots in the region.
