Craft Brewery and City Tour
Spend the day seeing the main highlights of the medieval part of Tallinn, Estonia’s capital on the Baltic Sea and the country’s cultural hub.
You will visit the famed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a large Russian Orthodox church dominating the landscape at the top of Toompea Hill. Completed in 1900, this mixed historical style structure contains a powerful ensemble of 11 church bells within its towers.
Down the hill you will find Toompea Castle, home to the Estonian Parliament. This Baroque-style facade building was constructed on the remnants of a 13th-century fortress and sports an eclectic mix of styles thanks to each ruler who left their impressions on the place throughout the centuries.
Also view St. Mary’s Cathedral, commonly referred to as the Dome Church. In its original form, the 11th-century church was fashioned out of wood, then replaced with stone over centuries of conquests, fires, and more. While exploring Tallinn you will make your way through a retro Soviet-style residential district and see Kadriorg Park and the Song and Dance festival grounds.
From there you will head into the Estonian countryside and pass by Jagala, the biggest waterfall in Estonia. At over 50 meters in width and 8 meters in height, this natural waterfall is only thirty minutes away from Tallinn and is not to be missed as part of your true immersive experience of Estonia.
Stop at a small brewery where you will sample 5 different kinds of beers and ciders as well as 3 kinds of delicious local farm cheese.
Book this popular brewery tour now and get ready to enjoy a cultural and palatable taste of Estonia and the unique town of Tallinn.
Please Note: The tour ends in central Tallinn, to allow you to explore or shop at your leisure after the tour. It is about a 15-minute walk, or a 5-minute taxi ride (not included, approximately 15 EUR), from the cruise pier.

A medieval gem on the north coast of Estonia, Tallinn is a cultural and historical treasure well worth attention on any adventure to the Baltics. This picturesque city will enchant you at every turn! From grand castles to resplendent cathedrals, Tallinn’s Old Town neighborhood, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the perfect place to begin exploring.

Don’t forget to peruse Tallinn’s many museums to discover Estonia’s finest art and immersive historical exhibits. The Kumu Art Museum boasts the country’s best contemporary art pieces, while the Estonian Open Air Museum allows you to follow the footsteps of Tallinn’s villagers in preserved taverns and school houses dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Visit the KGB Museum to learn more about the city’s past occupation by the Soviet Union. Let Tallinn, Estonia enthrall you! |
