City Sightseeing Tallin Hop-On Hop-Off Tour

While the old town has been astonishingly well preserved and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997, it is now in better shape than ever. The new centre of town is Vabaduse valjak (Freedom Square) at the edge of the old town and nearby is the giant matchbox of Hotel Viru, the former Intourist flagship and notorious den of Cold War intrigue (every room was tapped and monitored by the KGB).
