Town Hall Square

Located in the heart of Tallinn’s medieval Old Town, Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is one of the city’s most famous landmarks and a central gathering place for both locals and visitors. Surrounded by colorful Gothic and Hanseatic-style buildings, the square has been the hub of Tallinn’s public life for centuries, hosting markets, festivals, and celebrations. Today, it remains a vibrant destination that blends history, culture, and modern tourism.

At the center of the square stands the historic Tallinn Town Hall, the only preserved Gothic town hall in Northern Europe, dating back to the 13th century. Visitors can also explore the Town Hall Pharmacy, which has been operating since 1422 and is considered one of the oldest pharmacies in the world. Cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops line the square, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the year.

Town Hall Square is especially enchanting during seasonal events such as the Tallinn Christmas Market, which transforms the square into a festive wonderland with a large Christmas tree, local crafts, and traditional Estonian food and drinks. Whether exploring history, enjoying local cuisine, or simply soaking in the medieval charm, Town Hall Square is a must-see in Tallinn.
