Kalamaja, meaning 'Fish House' is one of the oldest suburbs in Tallinn and is full of Bohemian charm. The quiet neighborhood is full of colorful 19th century wooden houses which have been adopted by local artists as restoration projects in an area that was traditionally dominated by fishermen, fishmongers and boat wrights. During your scenic drive you'll stop for a photo at the Seaplane Hangars, which were the largest reinforced concrete structures in the world when they were built in 1917.Then continue past the soviet era architecture mixed with newly renovated port area.

Stout Margaret Tower

Before going back to port, you will get a glimpse of the Old Town. Visit Stout Margaret Tower, a huge bastion in the city walls overlooking the harbor. Today the Tower is home to maritime exhibits and belongs to the UNESCO Heritage list.
