Tallinn - Viru Gate

Viru Gate was one of the main gates to Tallinn. It was built in 1345-1355. By that time, the city had expanded from the Upper Town. Tourists were streaming in both directions.

 

Hotel Viru, built in the Soviet era, is in the background. This was our reference point, because it was the terminal for shuttle buses from the cruise ship.
