Hellemann Tower and Town Wall
Today, Hellemann Tower at the end of Müürivahe street is home to an art gallery and an inn. The nearly 200-metre-long old defence wall is also open to the visitors which connect Hellemann Tower with Munkadetagune Tower. Visitors can look out from the wall and view the city of Tallinn.
Climbing up the steep stairs, you will arrive at the attic, which opens up as a viewing platform, so is definitely worth taking a walk along the defensive walls.
Hellemann Tower is said to be named after Helle Holleman, a citizen of Tallinn who lived nearby. In the Middle Ages, the strategic location of the tower, in the immediate vicinity of the Viru Gate, played an important role.

good
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5You get to enter three of the numerous towers dotted around Tallin and walk along the parapet. Not expensive and worth the effort. Recommend.
€4 entrance fee
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5Adults and children will pay €4 each which isn't bad and the views are worth it. There are seats at the top for those that would like to chill and there are pictures with before and present photos... Read more comments
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5Some of the other towers offer better views of the city, but it has the longest walkway and it’s definitely worth a trip up the stairs.
