Attended a "private event" by our Estonian hosts, and was very impressed by the building--the "newer" part of which was finished in 1408. Worth a visit if it is open.

A really nice chunky building dating from 1404. Loved the dragons which act as water spouts, a nice change to the gargoyles you get on English edifices. You can try the trip up the tower if you feel energetic and also try some delicious smelling elk soup on the ground floor cafe.
There is a wide variety of things to see inside the town hall. There are figures in period costumes and displays to show you what life was like in medieval Tallinn. The outside of the building is interesting too with its gargoyles and old bricks. It is located on the central plaza of Old Town.
We went for hour or so during our stay in Tallinn. They only allow an hour on the top floor. It's okay, don't think we'd bother again though.
A very nice building, shame it was closed when we went by but if the exteria is anything to go by then I'd love a go in, there is a small charge but I think it would be worth it. The grounds and building are lovely and I want to go back. Happy Traveling
I only saw the outside of this building, although I did visit the Dragon cafe/bar in a basement room on the corner. That was a very evocative, medieval experience, and the food/drink is cheaper than anywhere else nearby.
Located in the Town Hall, the food here is truly fantastic and the prices are incredible. A total of 3 euros for the famous elk soup and a pie is the best value to be had in Tallinn. Both are really, really good and the tiny, candlelit dining room is nothing if not atmospheric. Unfortunately, the waitresses are in character...

We received a guided tour of the Town Hall. It is beautifully restored and the history is fascinating. We highly recommend it to medieval history buffs.
It is a mystic and truly medieval experience. Slowly you ascend the steps, peeping out of the windows on the way up, appreciating the ever-wider and -higher views... and imagining how it once was! Of course you can see the sea, and Toompea, and whatever.
Too small, no photos, no interaction. Only three rooms which aren't really much interesting. No guide and there are only facts, no tales.
