Ok

Aug 2024 • Family

From a tourist point of view it’s not something special or spectacular: a yellow church, a crucifix, some ordinary buildings surrounding a not very big open space.
Respect for the Square meaning for locals, but as a tourist you have no regrets missing it.
But if you are walking all around the Old City, for sure one of your exit will be in Freedom Square.

Okay place

Mar 2023 • Couples

This is a historically significant square which symbolises the struggle of the Estonian people. For the tourists it's an okay place but a part of the old town walk. There is a large cross and the square is big too. Many eateries around. Well decorated and lighted.

Interesting due to its Historical Significance to the Country

Jun 2020

Just a quick visit to see Freedom Square and where some of the protests, etc., took place. My visit to Estonia was fantastic!

More of a passing visit than a destination

Feb 2020

This is one of those places you should see but when you do you realise it's less of an experience and more of passing through. It's a large area and lit up at night so nicer in the evening but missing a wow becasue don't really know what happened here.

14th June

We just so happened to be here on the 14th of June when some kind of commemorative event was happening and the whole square was full of balloons that were being released.

A key landmark and often venue for special events

Aug 2018 • Solo

The Freedom Square hosts the monument that symbolises Estonia’s spirit of perseverance and freedom. It is also 1 of the entrance into the Old Town, where special concerts are held.

Just a square

Apr 2017 • Solo

There's nothing to see apart from the monument, you can definitely skip it and focus on other parts of the old town and the whole city.

Lovely square on one edge of the Old Town!

Nov 2015 • Friends

The square at one edge of the Old Town seems to be a popular place for people to gather. There is a huge cross towering over the square and this commemorates the struggle for the people of Estonia to gain independence between 1918 & 1920.
