Visitors can explore the historic Toompea Castle, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and the Town Hall Square, which hosts markets and festivals throughout the year. Beyond the Old Town, Tallinn is a vibrant city with a thriving tech scene, often referred to as the Silicon Valley of Europe due to its high number of startups and the success of its digital society.
