Overview
Join us on a journey through Tallinn’s Old Town to uncover its highlights — and the strange, fascinating details of medieval life.
We’ll explore how people celebrated Shrovetide, how often they held feasts, and what happened to guests who overindulged. You'll hear about crimes — both serious and minor - and learn who had to wear the humiliating “stone of shame. Find out which illnesses were treated with "unicorn horn" and why some young men were known as the “Blackheads".
Tallinn’s medieval secrets are waiting to be discovered. Come along, history has never been this entertaining.
