Ride a bicycle to the western part of Tallinn to view the hangars at the Tallinn Seaplane Harbor. This is by far the region's most important engineering landmark, as the hangars are thought to be the earliest large-scale reinforced-concrete shell structure in the world. The seaplane harbor now houses a maritime museum, which opened in 2012. It is 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 a comprehensive collection of old Estonian wooden buildings. Enjoy a coffee break here with traditional barley cake.
Trade in your bike for a coach ride to Tallinn's Old Town. The medieval walled city features churches and towers centered around Toompea Castle. From Tall Hermann Tower -- the tallest defense tower in medieval Tallinn -- head up Toompea Hill to Palace Square, where 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.
Notes:
You will bike for approximately 2.5 hours. Helmets are provided and must be worn. Minimum height is 4'6". Minimum age is 10 years. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
