Attractions: Freedom Square

This self-guided audio walking tour guides you through 15 stops across Tallinn's medieval Old Town. As you move through the narrow, cobbled streets you'll hear local legends and curious tales: a demon lurking in an old well, a bag of gold that turns to horse dung at the Devil's Wedding, and the world's oldest national flag said to have fallen from the sky right here in Tallinn. You will visit the Danish King's Garden and its ghost monks, step inside the 600‑year‑old pharmacy that once sold mummy juice and powdered unicorn horn, and learn why a painted window on Rataskaevu Street has stayed sealed for centuries. Along the way the stories will link to the Hanseatic merchants who once shaped Northern Europe's trade routes and to a legend about a giant's grieving wife who built a hill from stones.

That makes it suitable for solo travellers and families, and means you won't need to follow a guide.
