Tallinn culture reviews

St Olav's Church

As others have said, you better be in shape to climb the circular stone stairway but in the end worth every ounce of effort. The view was breathtaking to say the least. You see all of old tallinn and into the Baltic sea.

Museum of Occupations

I love it!

Kadriorg Palace

IT REALLY IS A TRIBUTE TO TALLINN AND ESTONIA..MEMORADBLE PALACE ,BEAUTIFUL GARDENS,SWAN POND IS RELAXING..THE SMALL INDOOR AND OUT DOOR CAFE IN THE GARDENS..SERVICE, EXCELLANT CAKES AND COFFE..THEIR STAFF ARE WELCOMING AND PLEASENT IN THE WHOLE COMPLEX..IT IS A ""MUST ""WHEN YOU VISIT TALLINN..

Museum of Occupations

A must for all visitors to Tallin. My husband and I spent 4 hours here. It was a real eye-opener and serves as a warning to all that we should never take our democratic and peaceful life for granted. Thank you to all who have created this museum.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Alexander Nevski cathedral is in Sofia, Bulgaria. Totally different country.

The Bronze Soldier

to Zuruspa from Portugal: to what "heroic deeds" are you refering to? The Soviets were anything but heroic, except maybe to each other. For almost 50 years they decimated the Estonian people and their culture. They're lucky they're being allowed to stay in Estonia. How DARE you consider their deeds heroic.

The Bronze Soldier

The monument is NOT fully restored, the wall is now lower and narrower than before, and lacking the sculpture of the Order of the Patriotic War behind the Bronze Soldier (awarded to all soldiers in the Soviet armed forces, security troops, and to partisans for heroic deeds during the World War II. Just check ANY photo from 2006).

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

A beautiful monument to a sad history

Estonian Architecture Museum

Very cool and informative museum!

Museum of Applied Art and Design

An interesting, little museum.

KUMU Art Museum

absolutely stunning building and an incredible collection of art. hands down the best Art museum I've ever been to.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

offensive to all Estonians - should be removed..

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Jill is quite right. It's very beautiful.

Kadriorg Palace

Kadriorg is, next to the KUMU, one of the most interesting museums in Tallinn. Next to the exhibitions, the Kadriorg Palace itself is worth a visit!! absolutely recommendable.

TV Tower

If your interested in Sovietica and all its quirks check out the TV tower, it still has the feel of the CCCP even the food tastes like its been illegally shipped in from Azebaijan.

Tallinn Opera House

I love visiting the Opera in tallinn, and other old Eastern bloc cities. You might not be able to say much good about those times but this was when opera and theatre thrived in these parts and its thanks to the Soviet times that you can still enjoy quality performances for really cheap. The opera house is a splendid building and the acoustics are excellent

Museum of Occupations

Fascinating exhibition

St Olav's Church

The view is absolutely amazing, you can see the whole city from the top: the Old Town, the harbour, even some far-away districts. However, remember that it's not so easy to get to the top. It's quite exhausting and the steps are steep and narrow, so better grab a hold on something if someone is coming from the opposite direction!

The Bronze Soldier

The Bronze Soldier has now been completely restored in its new location at a military cemetery on the outskirts of Tallinn. The bodies of 8 soldiers exhumed from beneath the monument's former site in Tonismagi has been relocated with the monument, while the remains of four other soldiers were sent to Russia to be buried with their families.

St Olav's Church

Climbing to the look-out platform was a challenge at least 10 stories one step at a time, but well worth the effort. The views of the city & harbor are spectacular.

The Bronze Soldier

redressing many years of wrongs against the estonian people with new wrongs against the russian population will only leave both sides frustrated and impotent - and violence only makes things worse. it's up to the sovereign estonian government to decide what to do with historical monuments in their country; and though their decision was nationalistic and a bit petty, it should be respected, and not used as an excuse to riot.

The Bronze Soldier

Leave the statue ! it is a fine piece of Bronze sculpture ! it doesnt matter who made it. and not ALL Soviet troopers were stalinist pigs !
