Haapsalu Old Town
Haapsalu vanalinn
Low, colorful wooden houses surround the castle, with carved porches, small cafés, and craft shops scattered along quiet lanes.
The Old Town centers on Lossiplats, the castle square. Its streets are lined mostly with wooden houses from the 19th and early 20th centuries, many with carved balconies and gardens, preserving the leisurely atmosphere of a spa town. Along the way you can visit the old Town Hall (Läänemaa Museum), Ilon's Wonderland, St. John's Church, and the fishing boats in the small bay. The walk takes about half a day. In summer, the square often hosts markets and music events.
