A view of Pikk Street (Pikk ta"nav) in Tallinn s Old Town, capturing a section lined with colorful and historically significant buildings. The yellow building on the left with the Estonian flag is Pikk 29. It houses the Meriton Old Town Garden Hotel, which occupies a historic merchant house first mentioned in 1355. The hotel connects through a courtyard to Lai Street, preserving much of its medieval structure and atmosphere. The grand pink building on the right (partially obscured) is Pikk 28, also known as the von Rosen Palace (von Roseni palee). Built in the 1670s, it is considered the finest example of Baroque architecture in Tallinn. It has served as the Embassy of Sweden since the 1990s and is notable for its intricate stucco decorations and portal. The yellow building next to the Swedish Embassy (on the immediate right foreground) is Pikk 27, home to another branch of the Estonian Handicraft House (Eesti Ka"sito"o"). This shop showcases high-quality traditional crafts, knitwear, and folk art, supporting local artisans. This section of Pikk Street is a prime example of the "long street s" historical role as a wealthy merchant avenue, featuring a mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque facades that now house embassies, hotels, and boutiques.
