About this experience
Tallinn Old Town Ghost Tour brings you to a medieval fairy tale. Old Town small streets, lovely courtyards, idyllic atmosphere, and main sightseeing spots offer the joy of discovery for every taste. During the Ghost Tour in Tallinn Old Town, we are mainly focusing on the places where we have the most interesting ghost stories to tell you.
Did you know that there are almost 50 houses in the Old Town of Tallinn where ghosts live? The most densely populated place with ghosts is the Danish King’s Garden, where every ghost has its own ghost story. It is interesting to know that this is the first written ghost case in Tallinn since 1627. Before World War II, the study of the operation of the short-legged gate was so active and popular that Tallinn was even called the headquarters of Northern European occultists. A 1.5- 2 -hour tour of the Old Town takes you to the best-known haunted places of the city.
