Begin your bicycle tour with a ride to the western part of Tallinn.
View the hangars at the Tallinn Seaplane Harbor -- the most important engineering landmark in the region. These are thought to be the first large-scale reinforced-concrete shell structures in the world. The seaplane harbor was renovated as a maritime museum, which opened in 2012 and has since become Tallinn's most-visited attraction after the Old Town. It is also the most popular museum in Estonia.
Cycle through Kalamaja -- the wooden houses district -- en route to Stroomi Beach. Admire the modern, seaside houses in the picturesque Kakumae area.
Within the boundaries of the Rocca Al Mare Open-Air Museum you will appreciate the unique collection of old Estonian wooden buildings.
Trade in your bike for a coach ride to Tallinn's Old Town. The medieval city features churches and towers centered around Toompea Castle. At Tall Hermann Tower -- the highest defense tower in medieval Tallinn -- head up Toompea Hill to Palace Square, where the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is located. Continue past the massive 15th-century cannon tower.
Descend to the Lower Town for some free time at Town Hall Square. From here, you will return to the port by coach.
