Toompea is a limestone hill in the Tallinn's Old Town where the founding stronghold of the city was erected. Spread over 7 hectares, Toompea rises about 20–30 metres higher than the surrounding areas and has historically been the hub of political and religious power.

The hill is a great place for a stroll. You can not only get a picturesque view of the whole city from this hill, but can also come across some great restaurants and cafes in this area.
