It is a fascinating historical site in Tallinn’s Old Town, offering a glimpse into the city’s medieval past. Climbing the tower and walking along the restored section of the town wall provide fantastic views of the city and surrounding area. The narrow passageways and ancient stonework truly transport you back in time. While the climb may be steep for some, the views and sense of history make it worth the effort. However, the experience had its downsides. Entry costs €4 per person, which isn’t expensive, but they don’t accept cards, which was inconvenient. There’s also no option to book tickets online. We didn’t have cash on hand and had to withdraw money from an ATM, which added an extra €3 in fees. If you plan to visit, be sure to bring cash!

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 around 4 Euro. I'll highly recommend anyone who do visits Tallinn to visit this tower preferably during sunset hours. That will give you the best view of the city as well as you can enjoy the tower more. You can cover the whole place in 30-45 mins easily in my view.

Hidden gem of Tallinn. Highly recommended as it provides excellent views to the city from different angles. It is not highest one, but the balcony gives you the opportunity to walk, stare and enjoy the city and the tall buildings from different views. You should spend half an hour or more to do this. Avoid visiting when the sun is low on a sunny day (mornings and late afternoons) as your sight might be disrupted.

Save your 3 Euros that you would spend on this and go get some gelato. There is one room at the top of the tower with 1 or 2 things to look at, and then you go walk along the walls facing the old city and see...the tops of modern buildings. There aren't really any good views of the Town Hall or churches from this section of the wall - just the tops of their spires/towers.

Authentic medieval wall. Entrance fee was 3 euros. Guy behind the counter was not very talkative but the music set you back in time. Nice views over the old town, and on the other end there is another tower with pictures comparing present to the past with some descriptions In the end... well, its a piece of wall. But pretty good one. Worth a visit.

This is absolutely must do in Tallinn both for history and views. Hellemann Tower is just one of the 26 towers that still stand along Tallinn's city wall. Now it is art gallery and an inn. But from here we explored the nearly 200-meter-long old defense wall that connects Hellemann Tower with Munkadetagune Tower. You get great city views.
