Museum and Sights

Once upon a time, a long time ago, armies would come from the sea and attack the city of Tallinn.

The people of Tallinn built mighty walls to defend themselves, to man the wall they built an intricate structure of towers and hidden tunnels.

Today a lot of that structure is still around and part of it is open to the public. These, along with hands-on, interactive museums are the best way of finding out what it was like to live in the Middle Ages.

Princes with swords and princesses, knights under cannon fire and explorers - you are all welcome to create your own fairy tales in the tunnels and on the walls of Tallinn!
