Patkul Stairs

The Patkul Stairs extend from Nunne Street to Peace Court Street, consisting of 157 stone steps connecting the lower town to Toompea Hill.

Constructed in 1903 and officially opened on October 6th, these stairs established a permanent connection between two distinct sections of medieval Tallinn.

The staircase stands as a meeting point where locals gather throughout the year, integrating daily life between the upper and lower sections of Tallinn.

Multiple viewing platforms along the stairs provide stopping points where visitors can observe the red-roofed buildings and spires of Old Town Tallinn.

The stairs feature different architectural elements at each level, reflecting the transition between the merchant town below and noble residences above.
