Cobblestones click underfoot as the Baltic wind threads between slate roofs and church spires. A small group follows a guide through a compact web of alleys, pausing where a statue, an arched gateway or a carved merchant house demands attention. In an hour you move through centuries: from the Town Hall Square out to the battered line of the Old City Wall and the stoic facades known locally as the "Three Sisters."
