Tallinn miscellaneous

Posted by on July 21, 2012

Odds and ends from Tallinn.

 

Common souvenirs include fake fur, leather, hand knitted goods, and amber.

 

This pharmacy was originally built in 1422 and is the oldest still functioning pharmacy in the world.

 

Just because I'd kick myself if this was ever an answer in Jeopardy, Ferdinand Vieke founded the Estonian State Puppet Theater in 1952.

 

A display of 14th and 15th century tombstones from St. Catherine's Church lines an outdoor market and walkway.

 

The Opera and its quirky parking gates.

 

Just a few of the ornate doorways in Old Town. This first one dates back to 1651.

 

Town Hall was built from 1402-1404 and acted as the town hall until 1970. Today it is the only surviving gothic town hall in northern Europe and is used for ceremonial and tourist purposes.

 

I'll conclude this post with some of the great panoramic views of Tallinn taken from viewing platforms around the city.
