Traveler reviews
Dr Minh from Huế
★★★★★2 months agoThe Kohtuotsa viewing platform offers the absolute best panoramic views of Tallinn's Old Town, featuring iconic red rooftops and historic spires against the modern city skyline. It is completely free to visit and easily accessible by taking a short walk up Toompea Hill. Don't miss the famous "The Times We Had" photo spot and the friendly resident seagulls! Because it is a very popular spot, it can get quite busy during the day, so I highly recommend going early in the morning or at sunset for the best lighting and a more peaceful experience.
Hello Voyager Julie Lee
★★★★★4 months agoOne of the best viewpoints in Tallinn Old Town Classic red rooftops and church towers all in one view Around 8:30 PM in spring you still get beautiful light during the white nights Can get a bit crowded, but worth it
