As you walk, listen for the small things: footsteps on cobbles, a church bell folding into distant voices, the faint scent of timber, limewash, and coffee drifting through narrow lanes. Your audio will begin automatically as you approach each place, though you can always start it yourself if you prefer. If Tallinn’s winding streets try to outwit you, the map in the app will quietly set you right, and at any stop you may send a question in the chat.
Take care on the uneven stones, especially in courtyards and on slopes, and be mindful of cyclists and traffic where the old town opens into busier roads.
Now, make your way to the Puppet Theatre Museum, and keep the puppeteer Ferdinand Veike’s line in mind: “A puppet is no trinket.” As you go, notice Tallinn’s oldest trick: one story ends, and another steps into the same light.
