(Translated by Google) Simply a wonderful historical building. This is the only chain bridge from the mid-19th century that has survived in Russia. Turned bolts, chains, and rollers create the grandiose architecture of the bridge and the corresponding atmosphere. (Original) Просто замечательное историческое сооружение. Это единственный цепной мост середины XIX века, сохранившийся на территории России. Точёные болты, цепи, ролики создают грандиозную архитектуру моста и соответствующую атмосферу.

(Translated by Google) A unique monument of construction technology, one of the best examples of transport bridge architecture, the only operating chain bridges of the 19th century in Russia. The bridges are not only unique, but also very beautiful. And the location, an island on the Velikaya River, is very scenic. We didn't regret coming to see it. (Original) Уникальный памятник строительной техники, один из лучших образцов архитектуры транспортных мостов, единственные в России действующие цепные мосты XIX в. Мосты не только уникальны, но и очень красивы. И место нахождения , остров на реке Великой, очень видовое. Мы не пожалели, что заехали посмотреть.

(Translated by Google) Chain bridges are good! Since 1853 they have brought joy to everyone who has walked along them. The construction is monumental! I’m afraid to imagine how much the chain weighs, and how much the structure itself weighs! It's nice that their restoration is now underway. Granite steps, curbs - it will be very beautiful! (Original) Цепные мосты хороши! С 1853 они радуют всех, кто по ним прошел. Конструкция монументальная! Боюсь представить, сколько весит цепь, а сколько сама конструкция! Приятно, что сейчас идёт их реставрация. Гранитные ступени, бордюры - будет очень красиво!

(Translated by Google) We often drove along the highway past the Island. I've been wanting to see it for a long time. And for good reason. A very beautiful place - the only chain bridges in Russia across the Velikaya River. Worth a stop. And the city itself is very cozy. (Original) Часто проезжали по трассе мимо Острова. Давно хотелось посмотреть. И вот не зря. Очень красивое место - единственные в России цепные мосты через реку Великая. Стоит заехать. Да и сам город очень уютный.

(Translated by Google) One of the significant attractions in the city of Ostrov is the Chain Bridges across the Velikaya River, 19th century. Powerful building. A historical place of both the city and the country. After visiting the city, you will definitely walk along the Chain Bridges. Good luck everyone. (Original) Одна из значимых достопримечательностей в г.Остров – Цепные мосты через реку Великая, XIX века. Мощное сооружение. Историческое место и города, и Страны. Посетив город, Вы обязательно пройдётесь и по Цепным мостам. Всем удачи.

(Translated by Google) The chain bridge in Ostrov became even more interesting and beautiful after its restoration. It has a special charm in the dark, because... has additional lighting. (Original) Цепной мост в Острове стал ещё интереснее и красивее после его реставрации. Особенное очарование он имеет в тёмное время суток, т.к. имеет дополнительную подсветку.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and majestic bridges. Right now they are under renovation. Nothing can be done; after all, repairs are also needed. Bridges over the great river. Nearby there is a park and churches. Now wooden bridges have been made parallel to the bridges. By the way, they made it possible to lift both a bicycle and a stroller. That is, there are special walkways for them and steps. 👍 (Original) Очень красивые и величественные мосты. Сейчас правда они на ремонте. Ничего не поделаешь, все таки и ремонт нужен тоже. Мосты над рекой великой. Рядом парк, церкви. Сейчас параллельно мостам сделали деревянные мосты. Сделали кстати с возможностью поднять и велосипед и коляску. Т. е есть специальные мостки для них ну и ступеньки. 👍

Ancient stone walls, scenic hilltop views, and a serene atmosphere make it unforgettable. Rich in Russian heritage, perfect for history buffs and nature lovers. Well-preserved and peaceful, a must-visit gem near Pskov! Highly recommend exploring.

It's one of Izborsk fortress must visit attractions.

Turku castle better, but still interesting place.

Very pleasant (when sunny!)

Always a quiet, peaceful place where people, history, and nature mingle. Spring water you actually don't fear to drink.

If you like Russia, this is a must. Fine and authentic restoration, have stayed there for more days and i come back every year.

I love this place since the first time for its atmospheric beauty, but would like to see more historical expositions

Is not the biggest or the best waterfall I've ever visited but it is clean and cold. Good drinking water too.

(Translated by Google) An amazingly beautiful place where the Slovenskie Klyuchi flow into Gorodishchenskoye Lake. There are many swans and ducks on the lake, feeding them is a pleasure. (Original) Удивительно красивое место, где Словенские ключи впадают в Городищенское озеро. на озере множество лебедей и уток, кормление которых приносит удовольствие.

(Translated by Google) The place is located very close to the fortress. The path leads down, so you need to be careful not to slip. There is a crush on the site. Lots of people, everyone wants to take a photo against the backdrop of the water pipes. The streams of springs merge into a single stream and flow into the lake. You can also watch swans on the lake. Beauty. But there are so many people that it is simply impossible to enjoy the place normally. (Original) Место находится совсем недалеко от крепости. Тропа ведёт вниз, так что нужно быть аккуратным, чтобы не подскользнуться. На площадке толкотня. Много людей, все хотят сфоткаться на фоне водопроводов. Потоки ключей сливаются в единый поток и утекают в озеро. Тут же на озере можно наблюдать лебедей. Красота. Но народу настолько много, что нормально насладиться местом просто невозможно..

(Translated by Google) Very impressive. Tasty water from springs. The nearby Gorodishchenskoye Lake with almost tame swans is especially beautiful. They are not afraid of people and swim very close. You can almost hand feed (Original) Очень впечатляет. Вкусная вода из источников. Особенно красиво находящееся рядом Городищенское озеро с почти ручными лебедями. Они не боятся людей и подплывают близко-близко. Можно, чуть ли не с руки покормить

(Translated by Google) A wonderful, amazing place, with an extraordinary atmosphere, where you can feel the presence of the Slavic gods! I advise everyone to visit this place and stock up on water containers. Children will be delighted by the presence of swans in the lake. About 1-2 kilometers away there is the Truvorovo settlement. (Original) Прекрасное, удивительное место, с необыкновенной атмосферой, где чувствуется присутствие славянских богов! Всем советую посетить это место и запастись тарой для воды. Детей порадует присутствие в озере лебедей. Примерно в 1-2 километрах есть Труворово городище.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place, quite steep descent to the springs, so you need comfortable shoes with non-slip soles. You can buy a water bottle along the way from souvenir stalls. You can feed swans and ducks, but you just need to stock up on food in advance. (Original) Отличное место, достаточно крутой спуск к ключам, поэтому нужна удобная обувь с нескользящей подошвой. Бутылку для воды можно купить по дороге у сувенирных лоточков. Можно покормить лебедей и уток, только нужно запастись кормом заранее.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, you can only reach it on foot (there is no access by car). Among the amenities: a long gentle slope from the handrail, several benches (directly at the source), in some places wooden flooring, one changing room (for those who suddenly decided to swim in the lake) and a panton area on the shore of the lake (by the way, a beautiful view) and in general everything is very good picturesque))) I recommend visiting (Original) Красивое место, дойти можно только пешком (подъезда на машине нет). Из удобств: длинный пологий спуск с поручни, несколько лавочек (непосредственно у источника) в некоторых местах деревянные настил, одна передевалка (для тех кто решил вдруг искупаться в озере) и площадка пантон на берегу озера (кстати красивый вид) ну и вообще все весьма живописно))) рекомендую к посещению

Amazing place, even if some churches were closed

If you're a religious person or a big fan of nature, than you will probably like this place. If not, I don't think, you're going to be impressed. The walls of the fortress are ancient and massive. You can walk near them and enjoy the atmosphere. The church is yet small and not really beautiful. When I was here the main church was closed for cleaning.

Very colourful and beautiful monastery

A beautiful and holy place where there are burried a lot of Saint people. The monaster is very old but in good shape. You can visit the caves from sand where monks are burried.

The place to be. Please touch base with the Visitor Service a day or two in advance, if you are planning to visit the caves. Hierodeacon Lazarus (Lazar) is the man in charge.

Really ancient and historic place, go and see and you will find a fantastic pittoresk monastir.

Probably the only place in Russia that managed to stay open under all political regimes. Despite many attempts to shut it down.

Nice museum. In the hall on the first floor there is an option to see multimedia performance (~10min). On the second floor there are exhibitions rooms, which are pretty new and fresh. On the day of our visit there was an amazing historical clock exhibition. Museum rooms and interior are still in the renovation process. Possible after some period of time there will be something new. The staff are very friendly!

Very beautiful exhibition... And when you think you have seen here everything, then the real magic begins with the dark.. 😲 Totally recommend to visit!

Really loves the nature museum through the left door. Especially the fluorecent part of the show

It seems like an ordinary local history museum, but the exhibitions are interesting, well structured, with easy-to-understand explanations of the exhibits. Replicas of historical objects that can be touched. Kids should love it. Thanks to the museum employee, the guy who sold the tickets, but also kindly gave us a brief introduction to the museum and also waited a little after the museum's opening hours while we watched the multimedia show. Thanks again.

Visited both - nature museum and Alūksnes museum (same castle/different entrances). Nature museum and their shiny rocks is a must see. If you're thinking - "shiny rocks, there is nothing special about shiny rocks" - YOU ARE SO WRONG! THEY ARE AMAZING! We visited only the temporary expositions in the Alūksnes museum. They were made more special and interesting with the commentary from the guide. Nice experience and a must see. After (or before) I strongly suggest visiting the park across the road. It has talking lanterns, temples and other fun stuff.

Such a greatmuseum. Takes you through centuries. The exhibition was very interesting, but the guides - they were just awesome. So dedicated and passionate about sharing the heritage story. Thank you!

Very good museum and good stories of how rocks were obtained!

Free parking and outdoor toilets. Free entrance. There are several hiking trails nearby, we went on a 3 km trail that went through several viewpoints. The track was rather flat and suitable for everyone.

Went here with Wildlife Dreams in Estonia for bird photography and watching #livefromthehide

A very nice and picturesque walk trail. Nice to chill with friends on a weekend. Amazing nature.

Amazing and beautiful place with a very deep spiritual meaning. The information signs posted all over the trail were very educating and interesting to read. Make sure to bring some red thread or ribbons with you to tie on a tree next to the Emaläte ;)

Just epic. Taka a day and do ALL the trails. Even the long 11km one is worth it. But be sure to bring bugspray.

Really nice and beautiful, sometimes a bit difficult if you're a beginner

Beautiful trail to walk it’s short enough to walk and enjoy the peace and quiet. In the summer time it’s more full so recommend coming in the winter, less people more peace and quiet .

We visited with our family and were absolutely impressed. We’ve been to several museums of this type, but this one deserves a full 5 out of 5. The exhibits engaged everyone – both adults and teenagers. There’s a lot to see and do, so we never got bored. We spent 3.5 hours here, and the time flew by. We could have stayed even longer, but unfortunately had to leave. The museum is enjoyable for children of all ages – even the little ones will find plenty to do. Everything is very interesting and well thought out. The only area for improvement would be providing more visual instructions, such as icons or pictures showing what to do or where to press. There’s also a café on site – we didn’t try it, but it’s great to have the option for a break. I would happily visit again.

Fun & Educational Science Centre in Tartu 🔬✨ The AHHAA Science Centre is an amazing place for both kids and adults! There are so many interactive exhibits, from physics experiments and illusions to biology and technology displays. The planetarium shows are a real highlight, and you can easily spend hours exploring. It’s fun, hands-on, and educational at the same time. A must-visit in Tartu, whether you’re with family or just curious at heart! 🚀🧪🌍

If you're ever in Tartu, the Science Centre AHHAA is a must-visit! This place is not just for science lovers but for everyone, whether you're an adult or visiting with family, it offers something for everyone. The museum features interactive exhibits that make learning fun. From physics to nature, the hands-on displays are perfect for curious minds of all ages.

The museum’s family-friendly atmosphere ensures that it's a perfect place for a day out. You’ll find cafes and comfortable seating, so you can relax and enjoy the exhibits without a rush. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Tartu, young or old!

Nice place for kids and adults, time runs fat there, great place to Explore physics and physical rules🤟

This is a fantastic place to visit with your children. Everyone will find something interesting and amazing here. We go there every year and will do again!It’s so great to see how,as children grow up, their understanding of things changes each time. At the planetarium,we always choose one of the films that corresponds to the children’s interests at that moment. Amazing!

Really fun and educational. Not just for kids but for grow ups too. Some reviews already mentioned the interactive elements in the centre and the bike is one not to miss! Easily spend a day if you are interested in the science behind the fun. Highly recommended.

Interesting children's science museum. The cafeteria has a good selection of food and drinks.

A beloved symbol of love and student life in this historic university town. Make sure to discover the stories here!

Beutiful sculpure! We have taken a few pictures with my wife with it on the background, really highlights Tartu atmosphere of student town

Actually the most popular place in Tartu that symbolises the town perfectly, since it's nice, cozy and full of young faces :)

It's truly beautiful and romantic monument :)

Fountain is a good place for romantic date-place

A nice landmark of the City.

Truely a beautiful place. A must visit spot in Tartu

At the western end of Town Hall Square stands Tartu's elegant Town Hall. Built between 1782 and 1789 after the Great Fire of Tartu, it is the third town hall to be built on this site. The neoclassical design, with rococo and baroque elements, is the work of German architect Johann Heinrich Bartholomäus Walter. The tower houses a carillon that can be played daily.

Beautiful town hall at the heart of Tartu. Inside decoration is classic and charming, with wide reception rooms and keeping the history of the place

A really beautiful sight in the heart of Tartu every tourist should check out either in winter, spring, summer or autumn

Beautiful building at city center.

The majestic, pink building that lords over Town Hall Square is Tartu Town Hall, built in 1789 by the town's master builder, Rostock-born Johann Heinrich Bartholomäus Walter.

The beautiful city hall of tartu

Natural Beauty

Beautiful and huge place that is not marketed enough! If you really want to see everything I would recommend reserving at least 3h for the whole place inside and out ( the outside area is huge). We came here by chance. Come here even if you are not that big plant/flower person.

A large botanical garden with numerous paths and helpful descriptions. You only need a ticket to enter the glass house. The garden is open in the evening, making it a lovely place for a stroll at the end of a busy day

This is one of the true gems of Tartu. The grounds of the university botanical garden are truly magical. They offer a wonderful place to while away time and explore their natural beauty

Despite its small size (3 hectares), this smaller botanical garden boasts a wide variety of flowers, shrubs, and trees. It's a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Great botanical garden. Felt like you are in tropical jungle. For only 3 euros if you are student. Worth to visit.

Botanical garden is free to enter but there is paid (couple euro) indoor area with tropical plants. Everything is well maintained and labelled. Good for relaxation and education.

Lovely garden with an interesting greenhouse. We visited in August and there were still plenty of flowers.

Beautiful sunset ☀️ And calm atmosphere

Always good to walk around the lake.

Very famous Estonian lake.

Good fishing.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place! There are several approaches to Pühajärv. You can rest (sunbathe in summer), eat. (several kitchen places). Nice hiking trails around. And riding a sup board, boat or pedal boat on the lake is a must! (Original) Imeilus paik! Pühajärvele on mitu ligipääsu. Saad käia puhata (suvel päevitada), söömas käia. (mitmed köögikohad). Mõnusad matkarajad ümber. Ja sup lauaga, paadi või vesirattaga sõit järvel on must be!

(Translated by Google) For lovers of long walks among beautiful landscapes: leafy parks, forests, hills, lakes! What a great place for triathlon lovers! (Original) Для любителей долгих прогулок среди красивейших пейзажей: лиственные парки, лес, холмы, озеро! Ну и великолепной место для ценителей триатлона!

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful lake in South Estonia in every season. (Original) Kauneim järv Lõuna-Eestis igal aastaajal.

The castle ruin will take you to ancient times. The view of the lake up from the hill is outstanding. Highly recommended to visit in a sunny day.

Not much left from the castle but the whole area is a beautiful park. The view over the lake is gorgeous.

We visited Viljandi castle on our first stop travelling from Tallinn to Riga. It was a memorable time for me to walk through this Livonian castle from a long ago era.

Cute little village to stop - we were driving from Tallinn to Siguldas. Easy and short stroll through the village.

Definitely worth a visit! Epic!

The remains of probably the biggest fortress in Northern Baltics. By now is has been perfectly cleaned and presented, so all that remains is visible and accessible. To experience the location in the best way go there where no events are in progress, so you can have better ways of exploring the fortress. While at it do not forget to check out the hanging footbridge in the back corner of the fortress as well as to look over the lake Viljandi from the convent area. Also check out the poems hidden in the area, accessible via qr codes 😉

Very beautiful and interesting place, take more time to explore and look every corner of it!

Old suspension bridge, located in the old town of Viljandi. A must see.

We stopped at this site while on a guided tour from Tallinn, Estonia to Riga, Latvia. Crossing this suspension bridge built in the 19th century was a memorable experience.

It's nothing special, but it is nice to cross over. Insta claudi_land

A very cute bridge in Viljandi. Amazing colors at sunset for nice pictures and view over the lake.

Nice place for a short stop

Very nice place, love it

Looks a fragile suspension bridge ;)

Very disappointing to see that everything is falling a part and not working as it was in the beginning. 10 eur entrance. I asked personnel if it was renovated, and if all exponates are functioning as planned. The answer was positive, but not true. Honestly, It was a very good project and done really nice, but everything needs maintenance.

Nice and attractive for whole family members! Tasty restoran on roof level!

Good museum and nice view from tower.

Different kind of museum, more about perception than historic facts, but really creatively put together. Definitely would recommend but don't expect a traditional museum.

Nice try but something is missing. Still worth visiting.

Very interesting place worth to visit

You can book a tour so you can learn about Paide's history. They offer 3 course meals too. You can organize parties and meetings here.

About a 45-minute drive from Tallinn, in the southwest corner of Lahemaa National Park, lies the Viru Bog Nature Trail. This 5.5-kilometer route takes hikers through a magnificent marshland nestled amidst pine forests. Perfect for those seeking peace and nature!

This is the best thing I did in four days of Estonia. Beautiful landscapes, wild mushrooms everywhere, and magnificent colors of wildlife. I will definitely come back to do again.

Such a wonderful place! The Google Maps directions were spot on and there’s a huge parking lot with 2 toilets (no flush but toilet paper and alcohol solution available) at the entrance. The trail is wonderful. After the gravel road, you’ll reach the wooden wallboard and the views are just amazing! Highly recommended!

Lovely hike! The trail gets narrow, and some boards are well worn, but a nice hike with lots of placards in at least 2 languages. There weren't many people when I went (mid day Tuesday), and a few people were at the swimming bog. You can get there by bus (google maps is accurate), just be mindful of the return bus timing / location (if you walk through to the end).

Viru Bog Trail in Lahemaa National Park was a fascinating spot, we really enjoyed it and learned a lot about bogs in general. Be sure to climb the viewing tower halfway along the trail for a great view and a chance to rest. That said, caution is needed after the tower. As the warning sign indicates, parts of the trail are flooded and damaged, making it very tricky especially for those with balance issues or without proper footwear. At times it’s nearly impossible to walk in both directions, and there’s little to hold onto when giving way to others. Despite that, it was a great experience overall and I can fully recommend it to anyone prepared for the conditions.

Very nice walk through the bog. There is an observation deck that offers a cool view. Total circuit was 5-6km. Weather was perfect.

Wonderful path through a beautiful bog (kind of a swamp). Would be very serene, if not for the noise of the nearby motorway, which can be heard clearly and loudly - very annoying. From the tower there is a grandiose view over the vast bog landscape. Beyond the tower, the wide, sturdy and well built wooden path becomes two parallel wooden planks, that are partially under water and actually move quite a bit when people walk upon them. A word of advice - Google Maps will not lead you to the entrance point of the walkway, although it might seem that way. You will end up at a point on highway E20, whereas the (quite huge) parking is situated right next to the exit for the road to Loksa. So, for the very annoying noise level, I have to deduct one star. For the scenery alone it would warrant more than five stars.

We parked via West side car park. Free both here and on East side (although that has a restaurant and better toilets). Very easy to go and look over the waterfall and quite spectacular. You can go frown to stand underneath and swim too via good stairs from the west side. You may be able wade across top but also possible to walk upstream to a nearby (250m) bridge and walk across. Could do with more picnic tables

This was a wonderfully stop on our little roadtrip. There is a nice, free parking area before an easy walk to the falls. There are also additional trails to continue walking on, and by the river, which we did not have time to explore.

Worth the drive. It’s a wide impressive waterfall. Car park is around 200m from the fall. You can walk right to the edge. I travelled there in autumn and saw a fantastic sunset (4:30pm) with golden maple leaves.

Jägala Waterfall is a stunning natural spot that’s well worth a visit. A set of steps leads you down to the base, where you can wade into the cool, refreshing water and feel the mist on your skin. On warmer days, you might even spot adventurous swimmers enjoying a dip — though caution is advised, as the rocks can be slippery. Water shoes make exploring more comfortable. If you have the time, pack a picnic and relax by the river, soaking in the peaceful beauty of the surrounding nature.

Jägala Waterfall, just 25 km from Tallinn, is Estonia’s widest natural waterfall. Dropping 8 meters and stretching up to 70 meters, it’s especially powerful in spring and magical in winter when it freezes into stunning ice formations. Easy to access and surrounded by limestone cliffs and fossils, it’s a beautiful spot for a quick nature escape, though it can be slippery in winter.

Amazing Waterfall Near Tallinn! 💦🌿 Jägala Waterfall is a stunning natural spot — wide, powerful, and beautiful in every season. There’s convenient parking nearby, and the area is easy to explore on foot. A must-visit if you’re in northern Estonia! 🚗📸

Tranquil and beautiful waterfall not too far from Tallinn. Even on a cold, rainy day there was something magical about it. On one side there is a cafeterie where you can chill and listen to the sound of water moving.

Be aware!!! For €19 per person you get a lift to 21st floor - where you can buy other “experiences” like silly pictures or VR whilst sitting on the chair. There apparently is some history exhibitions but it was unfortunately closed on the day of our visit and nobody bothered to tell us beforehand. Still full price ticket. They are showing “art” of a lunatic and you can buy an espresso for €3.50 at 22 floor. So for €19 you are taking a lift to see dirty carpet, dirty toilets and not working floor windows (except 1) - absolutely pathetic. Now I know why they do not accept ICOM cards - they would have to be ashamed for what they are actually selling. Absolute SCAM - as those places are everywhere in the world free - when you are having a restaurant or cafe in the top where you can spend your money ((

Very big disappointment! So many things are wrong about this place. When you buy a single full admission ticket online it’s 18 euros, same ticket on the spot will be 19 - cashier didn’t give heads up about it while selling the tickets. There’s almost no exhibition, really just several photos and fun facts, all looked old and used, and seemed that designed for children, not adults. There’s a small exhibition on the 2nd floor, also auditorium, then on the floor 21 there’s 360 degrees observation spot (not impressive, same old and used) and on the floor 22 - restaurant and small part of the open terrace where you can walk behind the wire fence. Overall, really overpriced place, and I cannot understand why do many positive reviews… We do not recommend it!

Really enjoyed our visit here! Definitely worth taking the time to see, especially if you make sure it's on a clear day. Wonderful 360 views of the entire city and great educational areas about the tower.

The TV Tower offered good views and a simple layout for exploring the upper levels. The outlook across the city was impressive and worth the trip, but the experience itself felt limited. Beyond the observation deck, there was not much in terms of interaction or engaging features, and it could easily be developed further to make it more memorable. Staff were polite and efficient, and the tower was well maintained, though the overall visit felt short. It was worth seeing once for the view, yet the tower itself could make more of its space and history to improve the experience.

The Tallinn TV Tower is a very interesting and modern place to visit. The highlight is the edge walk — you can even take photos sitting on the edge, which is such a unique experience! Our guide Annika made the tour really fun with her great explanations about Tallinn. Definitely worth it!

The Skywalk at Tallinn TV Tower is an unforgettable experience! Walking along the edge, 160 metres up, was both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking—especially with the wind, but the views are absolutely spectacular. Sitting on the edge and dangling your feet over the ground is something I’ll never forget. If heights aren’t your thing, you can still enjoy the views from inside, check out interactive displays, or try the VR flying experience. The staff were friendly, the gift shop was reasonably priced, there’s plenty of parking, and the panoramic views over the botanic gardens and the view to Tallinn and beyond are amazing.

Got a combined family ticket for botanical gardens and tv tower - 39 euro. Not expensive and nice way to spend a relaxed afternoon

A beautiful park in the city center, accessible by tram No. 1. A place to enjoy the scenic views, relax, enjoy the beauty of nature, and gain peace of mind.

Beautiful park and easily reachable with public transportation. It has really nice walkable paths and hosts several museums. It's a must for a several days itinerary in Tallinn. With gloomy weather this park gives Irish/Scottish vibes.

Nice park with well maintained gardens behind the palace art museum. Lots of museums scattered through the park as well! There was a cafe and a few (pay-to-use) bathrooms as well.

Very nice and spacious park area with both Kadriorg castle and the presidential residence. Ran into the president himself by chance. Great place for a run

**"Kadriorg Palace and its gardens are an absolute gem in Tallinn. The palace itself is stunning – a beautiful example of baroque architecture, with elegant halls and ornate details that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Inside, the art collection is well-curated and offers a great glimpse into Estonia’s cultural heritage. The gardens are just as impressive. Perfectly landscaped, with colorful flower beds, fountains, and tree-lined paths, they are a peaceful escape from the city bustle. I visited in summer, and everything was in full bloom – it felt like walking through a living painting. Even if you’re not into art, a stroll through the gardens alone is worth the visit. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy a coffee in the nearby café, and simply soak in the beauty. Definitely a must-see when in Tallinn

A must when visiting Tallinn which in turn is a lovely city in a forward looking small country of Estonia. Its people has suffered from Russians for centuries yet they do not give up. The park is beautiful, and the city wall of the old city, are the two of the sights with rich histories.

This is a beautiful scenic park in Tallinn with manicured gardens and ample green spaces. I highly recommend visiting!

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour from Mart, whose dry sense of humour, personal experience and bank of knowledge made it a good all-round experience. I considered it good value for money but be prepared to digest information at a fast pace as Mart speaks quite quickly! He answered all my questions in between stops, which I was very thankful for. A great way to spend an hour and learn more about a very interesting time in Estonia. Would recommend.

Very interesting tour, a little on the expensive side, but I didn't mind paying for it. The tour guide is great, very knowledgable, you visit a couple of secret rooms on the floor that didn't exist and you also get to use both balconies facing in opposite directions to get a good view of the city. I don't think it said in the booking that the meeting place is the left side of the hotel lobby, there's a desk with the google map marker and the word "here"

Our guide was excellent…. Very interesting and sincere. She shared her personal experiences in the Soviet Union in Tallinn, which made the experience much more meaningful. I wish that more of the hotel had been preserved for the tour.

This was my second time visiting the museum for the guided tour and it was a really great experience. Our guide Pasha was really good at explaining and making it a fun and interesting tour with the use of dry wit and humour to make the stories come to life. You need to book your tour in advance and they get filled up fast since it's only for small groups so if you want to go make sure you book your tickets early! Keep in mind that the museum is only available with the tour at their specific times but it is really worth it even for Repeated visits!

Quite cool, eye opening and interesting to learn about the KGB and the tech they used. 20€ seems a bit on the higher side in my opinion, the guide was great though and shared a lot of interesting facets

Honestly speaking, I’ve expected to see a bit more artefacts and equipment, but the museum is basically only two rooms on the rooftop of Hotel Viru. However, our guide Rene is an absolute legend with a lot of insight and knowledge about the history of this place, and how the KGB operated back then. Him alone was worth the price of admission. Fun way to spend an hour in Tallinn.

Interesting experience, though a bit pricey for a 1 hour tour. Totally low-tech - the value is in being in the actual KGB spaces, hearing the stories, seeing the artifacts and photos up close. Bonus excellent views! The guide was informative, with a very dry sense of humour. Small tour group, so booking in advance is recommended.

The Tallinn town hall is your typical museum setup. Info about the old town since the 1300s. Not much to say about that. The tower was pretty cool though. Got to go up to the bell and see the city from there. Not sure if the €20 was worth it.

A top stop! Lovely preserved old building with cool stuff and good descriptions in English. Plenty to see, it’s not just a reading experience. The floor just under the roof is super cool. If you’re up to it, climb the tower for a unique view. Note the climb is very steep, can be very crowded and may have a long.

Most people only talk about the Tallinn Town Hall for its beautiful building, but there is so much more to it. Can you imagine that it has a museum inside? I didn’t know until I went there. I like the museum because it talks about a special street, the “Pikk Street”, in Danish this would translate to “dick street”. Good thing Estonia isn’t Danish anymore. But funnily enough this reminded me of all the Dicks Streets back in Luxembourg. A strangely comforting thought. There are many places to sit down in the museum, which is a criteria I always use to rate the visitability of a museum. Especially because I have a friend who loves to sit down. The more my friends can sit, the happier I am. We also found out about the Estonian fascination with weather vanes. They’re not just regular weather vanes, they are enormous. You can really not miss them on top of churches or in this case inside the museum. Now coming back to the start, people may admire the view of the building but from the museum you have a beautiful view onto the city. It really is a must visit.

This old town feels like stepping straight into a fairy tale – except instead of a dragon, you’re most likely to bump into a tourist wielding a selfie stick. Narrow cobblestone streets twist between colorful medieval buildings, and no matter which way you go, the town hall finds a way to peek at you from somewhere – like it’s playing hide and seek, and always winning. The atmosphere takes care of itself. While you're sipping coffee or nibbling on a local pastry, a horse-drawn cart might gently roll by, and someone in medieval costume could pop around the corner. For the tourists? For fun? Or maybe just a lost time traveler. Who’s to say. Town hall itself is a Gothic masterpiece from the 14th century, and it still holds court with pride. If Tallinn does one thing exceptionally well, it's blending history with charm. And if you find yourself taking photos of the same tower from every imaginable angle… trust me, you’re not alone. This place does that to people.

Tallinn Town Hall has its own museum inside dedicated to both the building’s past and the city’s. It was interesting to learn that there were writings about the Town Hall from 1200s. Entrance fee is 20 euros but free if you have a Tallinn city card.

Tallinn Town Hall is a stunning landmark that perfectly captures the spirit of the Old Town. The Gothic architecture, intricate details, and panoramic views from the tower make it well worth a visit. Inside, the exhibits give a fascinating glimpse into Tallinn’s rich history and civic life. Whether you’re exploring the square below or climbing to the top for amazing city views, the Town Hall is a must-see stop for anyone visiting Tallinn!

It takes about an hour to look round the town hall. The tapestries and carvings are nice, I was lucky in that one of the employees who works in the museum was happy to answer questions about the exhibts. The attic has lots of information boards explaining how the town hall was restored. The cellar contains an older version of the weather vane 'Old Thomas' but there is no explanation as to who he was. Would not recommend to a family with children.

If you want a great view of the cit, pay the 8 € fee and climb the stairs. It is a narrow, winding staircase that takes you up about 250 steps to get a view of the city from about 60 meters above street level. The same staircase is used for going up and down so sometime you have to step aside to allow people to squeeze past you.

Great view of the Tallin city. 360degree Free entrance to the church Tower ticket 8 euro In the 1500s, (if i am not wrong)It used to be the tallest building in the world, ship use the church as a preference guide. Therefore, the thunder hit the church quite some times. It was burn and rebuild several times. Very worth of climbing up for a good view of the harbor and the city itself.

Impressive church inside but it's all about the view from the tower for me! It's a narrow staircase to the top, I didn't have to pass anyone but I'd imagine it's awkward, there are a couple of seats half way up should you need a rest, but the view is very much worth the trek upwards

I visited St. Olaf's Church during a day of sightseeing in Tallinn. I paid 8 Euros for admission to the tower. It's quite a hike, and to be completely honest, I found the top a little scary (it's quite safe though) in the moment. You can buy a ticket there, and the church can process card payments for the tickets, but if you want something from the giftshop, you'll need cash. Beautiful views!

Impressive church with a huge tower, visible from all over Tallinn. Sadly, both the church and the tower are not open for visits outside of the summer months (except for actual services on Sunday). A bit disappointing that one of the major historic monuments of Tallinn is not open during the year.

The entrance for the St. Olaf’s Church is free unless you want to climb to the tower which is supposed to provide you with an amazing view of the city. We preferred not to climb to the tower of St. Olaf’s church due to it’s stairs and due to the fact that St. Nicholas church has an elevator going up to its tower which is really close to St. Olaf’s. The interior of the church has a gothic style and the walls are mostly empty. The most striking thing about the church is how high it is.

Worth the step count. Over 200 steps but view over old Tallinn worth it. No queue and not busy on weekday in October. A bit of a tight squeeze when passing others of the steps but not too much of an issue. Great views around all sides. Looking very autumnal.

If you are looking for a unique experiment of living in a castle, this is your chance. Every room is unique and provides is own scenario. The breakfast is nice, the dinner options are interesting. A small park and the labyrinth makes this place a nice destination for children, too

Stayed in the tower suite for two nights, loved the ambiance of the room and the castle itself. Lots of cool things to see and explore on the castle grounds. Jan and Christina were especially hospitable, even firing up the sauna for me to use. Would love to stay here again, as my experience was truly unforgettable.

We spent one night in fairytale. Excellent and exceptional experience. Thank you Owners for making it true. The book with your story and your intent to rebuild the castle is legendary. As well as the architectural “plans”. I could hardly sleep because of this exceptional travel experience. I was exploring the castle and it was such a pleasure to see the castle at day and night lights. How it’s changing. What kind of magic it brings. I reminded myself - don’t take it for granted. It’s THE ONE AND ONLY. Hopefully, photos and videos taken are inviting next guests to visit you. Breakfast was awesome. At 8 o’clock. There was a small birthday party and we were listen to a piano improvisation. High level 🎹 It was pretty hot in the room but we have found the solution from the room nearby. Hopefully, in our travel experience we are going to have more of such an amazing place to visit like the one you offer. We are striving to find an AUTHENTIC spirit and you HAVE IT! Our greatest love to you and our appreciation for the experience you have delivered. That’s nice to live and get to know that a place like yours exist on our Beautiful Planet. Regards from Finland 🇫🇮

Can't complement this place enough , in terms of style it is a one pff worth travelling to .Lots of different styles of room to choose from . Me and my friend arrived after a long cycle , the lady at reception was really helpful and made us feel welcome speaking perfect English . The food and cocktails were great there was even ballroom dancing . It is worth coming here just for the experience,they do weddings and other events to.

My friend asked me to write a review about the food at Laitse Loss, but I decided instead to explain to the people on google why I love like to love so much. Laitse-Loss refills my imagination. I have come and I have to fly my drone here. And I've enjoyed the comforts of the owner and the management. And this place. Is far more important than a place that will serve you good food. It is a place that will indulge anything your imagination could provide. It is just one phone call away and they will make it work and make it possible for you to enjoy. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are unique and different. And everything is different about this place than whatever you believe to be normal. And This is why this place is so valuable to me. I have filmed five-star chefs producing unforgettable experiences here. I have taken potential investors here they answered the important question “Why Estonia” perfectly every time. And they have been blown away by the quality, the price, the attention to detail. And I always take my high-net-worth investors here when I want them to invest in my business. I've flown my drone here. I've captured beautiful dancers and the sauna here has more stories and secrets and incredible out of this world. Experiences that I think it is worthy of the fins and every other high-end sauna here. I believe that you should come here for dinner /and come with ideas because the owner will accommodate your ideas and who knows magic might happen.........because every time I come, magic happens.

One of the nicest and most quirky hotels to stay in absolutely love this place. And make sure you eat in the restaurant. Some of the best food and try the Beef Jerky

I loved the castle. Each room was different and special by something. Service was really nice and polite. Mystery solving evening with dinner was interesting and food was really tasty.

Simply beautiful, nature, water, noise of the waterfalls. Of course you need to be aware that height and size of it is limited due to natural environment of Estonia, so don't compare it with Alpes or even Balkan region. Enjoy this picturesque place for free when passing by.

Beautiful scenery. The park is like from a fairytale. The waterfall, river and old oaks are so calming. Take your time when going there, because there’s lots to enjoy.

Keila Waterfall is a must-see near Tallinn. Waterfall is a stunning spot just 30 km from Tallinn. The waterfall itself is impressive, and the surrounding trails, bridges, viewpoints, rose garden, and playground make it perfect for a relaxing stroll or a fun day out with family and friends

So photo delicious place. Claim sound of waterfall and river make you walk through a park magical time spend. Great spot for short out city ride.

Fascinating and lovely place. Well worth stopping by if you're nearby. Suddenly the landscape changes which is rare in the forest.

Stunning waterfall and surrounding areas! Great for walking and exploring as a family (even with young kids)

A lovely place to visit on a sunny day, especially when the autumn leaves begin to fall

Visited the manore together with a Ukrainian guide who gave us a nice excursion into the life and world of three renowned architects and their families who lived there. Now the museum is open only in the part of Saarinen premises. The entrance fee into the museum is 10-15 euros. The territory around is wonderful. There is a open air cafe open from June there. Definitely worth visiting.

Great place to visit in the summer! Interesting unique interior, nice surroundings- garden and a small beach down the hill, interesting history of the place. Definitely worth coming here at least once! Free entrance with the museum card. Better come by bike because the car parking is usually full

Very nice mansion complex and museum for a day tour near Helsinki. Though I do not have much knowledge of architecture, I still managed to enjoy the well-designed studio home and the amazing view. ”Work is the key to creative growth of the mind.” Btw, it is covered by the Museum Card.

A marvelous place that brings visitors serenity. We strolled through the forest and alongside the lake whole afternoon, enjoying summer sunshine to the fullest. - The museum is open from Wednesday to Sunday during summertime.

In a city full of neoclassic, minimalistic and functional design, this building still stands out as one of the best examples of Finnish architecture. The view over the lake is glorious at almost any time of the year. It is well maintained and organized.

Lake, garden, museum and sunset just enjoy the serene clam atmosphere. From Helsinki eleventh hour decision to watch sunset on longest day of the year 21/6/2023. Good experience.

I love, love, love the buildings. I could imagine living there. Beautiful place with many lovely designs from the times when people still crafted things by hand.
