Traveler reviews
Dr Minh from Huế
★★★★★2 months agoThe Danish King's Garden (Taani kuninga aed) is a beautifully atmospheric and historic park nestled right on the slopes of Toompea Hill in Tallinn. Open 24 hours a day and completely free to visit, it is famously known as the legendary birthplace of the Danish flag. The garden is lined with remarkably preserved medieval town walls and features striking bronze statues of faceless monks that add a uniquely mysterious charm. It offers a peaceful retreat from the busier parts of the Old Town and provides excellent vantage points for photography, making it an essential and highly recommended quick stop on any walking tour.

★★★★★Edited a month agoA truly magical and atmospheric spot nestled right on the slopes of Toompea Hill! The Danish King's Garden is rich in legends—most famously as the birthplace of the Danish flag—and it feels like a peaceful stepping stone back into medieval times. The views overlooking the red roofs of the lower Old Town are absolutely breathtaking. Combined with the impressive city walls, the old towers, and the mysterious bronze monk statues, it is one of the most unique and scenic places to sit down, relax, and soak in Tallinn's incredible history.
