The Maritime Museum was fantastic.

We enjoyed the harbor cruise very much-very scenic. Also the Rock Church is unique.

We enjoyed the Rock Church as well. Also we enjoyed the Russian Orthodox Church and the Luthern Cathedral/Senate Square. We also went to the outdoor market place down by the river. It's a great walking town!!

Cool - Another walking town! Just what I need - really! I hate bus tours and don't mind walking. Can you find cafes or restaurants on your own? have any recommendations?

I can't recommend any place specific, but where the ship's shuttle drops you off, there is a HUGE market square 1 block down that has all sorts of restaurants and then an open-air food and craft market to boot. You'd walk right through it if you were going to the Russian Orthodox Church.
