Nice place to chill, easy to walk from the old town square.

The panoramic view of the old town and nearby city districts is magnificent. However, the stairs are quite long and narrow, allowing movement in only one direction. If the group of visitors is large, you may have to wait until everyone has descended. The unique atmosphere of the medieval tower is enhanced by its authentic limestone walls. I found it really intriguing to learn about how the Estonian flag is regularly replaced here and presented to famous people.

Pikk Hermann, the Tall Hermann Tower, is a powerful emblem of Estonia's unwavering spirit and commitment to freedom. This towering structure, situated within the Toompea Castle complex, has witnessed the nation's struggles and triumphs throughout history. Today, Pikk Hermann proudly flies the blue, black, and white Estonian flag, symbolizing the country's independence and resilience. As a focal point of national identity, Pikk Hermann stands as a steadfast reminder of Estonia's journey towards self-determination and its enduring dedication to upholding democratic values and sovereignty.

As you approach Tall Hermann, you'll notice the careful preservation of its medieval architecture. The tower's weathered stones and time-worn details add a sense of authenticity and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the centuries of Tallinn's existence and the many stories held within its walls. While the tower's interior is not accessible to the general public, the view from its base is breathtaking. Standing at the foot of Tall Hermann, you can appreciate its sheer magnitude and absorb the surrounding beauty of Tallinn's Old Town. The tower's strategic location also provides panoramic views of the city's skyline and the Baltic Sea.

A monument that is in a park in Tallinn's historical city center. I wouldn't call it the most interesting place in the city, but it surely adds to the city's historical value and it's also nicely reconstructed.
