Danish King's Garden

Nice park with a panaromic city view and city walls as well.

There are statues that may be scary :) I suggest you to visit this place in evening too. Illuminated city walls and statues are nice to see.

Lovely spot to sit and relax. You can enjoy views from above, the fortification and some flowers here. I wouldn’t call it a proper garden. It’s flower beds with flowers but worth a visit. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is right next to it so a nice place to stop.

Love this place. Definitely stop by for a picture.

Nice cafe upstairs along the wall. Simple museum and walk way. Good view of St Nicholas church. Quite similar experience as the fortress wall near Viru Gates.

The Danish King's Garden is a lovely park located in the heart of Tallinn, Estonia. It is named after King Valdemar II of Denmark, who allegedly camped there during the Northern Crusades in the early 13th century. The garden offers a peaceful retreat with its lush greenery, well-maintained flower beds, and scenic views of Tallinn's Old Town.

At night this place is very interestingly lit and the statues are giving some mysterious feeling that transports you to a different time.

Such a nice place to visit！
the towers are full of stories, prepare to learn 🤭

The 3 monk statues really caught my attention. Beautiful, historical place. An old well is located just nearby

Super cool place with an old history. As a Dane, it was especially interesting. The place is really beautiful, we visited in the afternoon.

The ticket for the exhibition and the passage was 14€ per person, but it's worth it. You would be able to visit the 4 towers, with the exhibition inside, additionally you would be able to go through the Bastion passage. Spent more than an hour here.

If you like legendary places with haunting stories, this is the place in Tallinn you shouldn’t miss.

Just behind Neitsitorni Museum, there is this amazing entrance for the “Short Leg Gate Tower”, that is considered one of the most haunted places in Tallinn and which looks like more a magic place that takes you back to Medieval time and according local information “The Gate used to be locked at night to stop the commom people of the lower town from bothering the nobility. Apparently, the gate was also supposed to stop the ghosts who were try to seak up to Toompea Hill from the Danish Kings Garden.

We didn’t go inside of the museum, but we totally recommend you spend a good time over there, because it’s just magic place. You will also find some artists selling their paintings from the gate and their ghosts!

Tips:
Wear comfortable shoes.

The Danish King's Garden has a great view of Tallinn and you can see the three monk sculptures here.

The work “Three” by Simson von Seakyll (Aivar Simson) and Paul Mänd are three bronze monks with a height of 2.5 metres

Ambrosius the “Waiting Monk”, Bartholomeus the “Praying Monk” and Claudius, the “Observing Monk”

Beautiful gardens and location. The surroundings are sumptuous.

The three bronze monks namely "waiting monk" Ambrose, "praying monk" Bartholomew and "observing monk" Claudius are standing in the horn shaped Garden of the Danish King, which was once called "The Craft Yard" back in the medieval times. Legend has it that the Danish Dannebrog flag 🇩🇰 fell from the sky here on 15th June, 1219.

nice assassin's creed statues 💯

A beautiful place that gives you a beautiful view of the old town.

Fantastic view of the old town, can get very crowded with tourists but worth a visit

Lovely place to sit and see the sunset over old town. Touristy, but plenty of space on the three levels of the gardens.

Beautiful place ,historical significance, located near Estonian Parliament

Creepy sculptures :) but the place is very beautiful
