The character of the walk
Former industrial buildings and maritime structures reveal Tallinn beyond its medieval centre. Telliskivi highlights the reuse of older buildings, while the Seaplane Harbour reveals the scale of its hangars. Patarei and Linnahall are exterior landmarks: fenced areas, roofs and closed interiors are outside the walk
