About this experience
If you want to cover the two main attractions in Tallinn – its romantic Old Town and the splendid nature outside the city; then this day trip is designed for you. Start the day with a trip to Jägala waterfall to escape the morning crowd visiting Tallinn, and finish with a Old Town walking tour.
Start the day with a drive to Jägala waterfall to escape the morning crowd visiting Tallinn. The waterfall is 30 minutes away and located right on the doorstep of Lahemaa national park which is recognised for its natural beauty.
Once you have filled your lungs with clean fresh air and enjoyed sound of the gushing waterfall, get back to Tallinn where the morning rush has calmed down, leaving the streets more empty and easier to walk. Have a guided 1.5 hour Old Town sightseeing tour, covering all the main attractions and learn about the history of Estonia. Explore the cobbled streets and enjoy the view over the red rooftops from the viewing platforms.
