God grant you such good health, Schaub never know for the fact that there are doctors in the world! : )
And yet, when you walk along the Town Hall Square in Tallinn, look into the Town Hall Pharmacy. Here, in addition to the usual aspirin, you can buy such centuries-old "medicines" as claret (wine with herbs) and marzipan. About three hundred years ago, at the same place, you could buy dry hedgehog powder or tincture on crocodile teeth, but progress does not stand still, and these environmentally friendly "medicines" have taken pride of place on the museum shelf.
The Town Hall Pharmacy in Tallinn is the oldest functioning pharmacy in the world. Its premises are divided into two halls, in the first one you can buy modern medicines, as well as souvenirs - claret, marzipan (very tasty) and soap prepared according to medieval recipes.
In the second small hall of the pharmacy there is a small museum, where the pharmacy assortment of the last three centuries is presented, as well as a variety of dispensary utensils. The pharmacy is small, but very interesting, and it has not changed its location for the last five hundred (! ) years. Come on in - you won't regret it. Entrance to the pharmacy is free.
The Town Hall Pharmacy is located at 11 Town Hall Square, opposite the Town Hall building.
