“Toompea Hill rises magnificently over the city. From its height of 48 m one gets a remarkable view: on one side is the dimly blue Gulf, and on the other, are red tiled roofs, the silhouettes of weather-vanes, spires of churches and slender towers.”
– T. Tomberg, Tallinn A Tourist Guidebook, Novosti Press Agency Publishing House, 1971/1972
