The Ruins of Pirita Monastery

Today, as you're walking around the Pirita district, the old monastery ruins might seem a bit out of place. Surrounded by the yacht club, suburban houses and malls, you might think the building has escaped from the Old Town and is trying to hide in the thick reeds by the Pirita river.

The highest viewpoint in Tallinn was reopened in 2012 and quickly became one of the city’s most visited attractions with its futuristic interior, cool gadgets and interactive exhibitions. The TV Tower holds a special meaning for Estonians because of its role in the events of 1991 when four local engineers guarded it during the coup.

For a really interesting experience we suggest you sign up for a tour of the tunnels at the Kiek in de Kök tower (yeah, we know it sounds dirty). The underground passages are something you won't soon forget. You can traverse the tunnel network inside a small rail cart, bombarded by sounds and images from Tallinn's long and complex past.

Biologists would argue that Estonia is incredibly diverse with millions of different species of plants and trees covering most of the country, but we all know they take their jobs a bit too seriously - all the pine trees look the same to us. But if there's one place where their enthusiasm fits, it's got to be the Tallinn Botanical Garden.

While it's mainly Estonian works of art on display, the KUMU programme also regularly features events of a more international variety as well as fascinating workshops and lectures. The museum also hosts the annual “KUMU ÖÖ” – a mini festival of sorts where the building stays open all night as guests inside dance until sunrise.

It's a zoo. Like, with animals and all that. It has... let's see here. Elephants, seals, buffaloes, tigers – yeah, pretty much all the usual suspects. They have birds. Lots of birds. They also have that fellow that goes “baa”, but is not a sheep. We don't know what it is.

Go far enough West and the gigantic shopping centres and flashy suburban homes give way to village scenes from “Asterix”. Much of Estonia's history is linked to the rural way of life. A large portion of the population used to live in farms and homesteads until the Soviet annexation of the country in 1939. Get educated about it all here.

Locals, if born before 1980, remember what a secret place Viru hotel was in Soviet times. A place where foreign currency was made and microphones where in every room, controlled by KGB. Working in this hotel was a privilege, and it was easier to get a job when you didn't know any other language besides Russian or Estonian.

The museum is located inside the seaplane hangars. It's truly unique as the first shell concrete structure ever built. Initially completed as part of Peter the Great’s Naval Fortress in 1916-1917 the museum now combines new and old, land and sea. You're even welcome to arrive at the harbour onboard your own vessel.

Occasionally verging on the creepy, this museum works for young and old. It has a meticulously thought-out interior and a huge variety of stuff on display. You have the ordinary children's show puppets, but also creations that seem to have been lifted from the deepest and darkest parts of your subconscious.

There's really no reason to just walk by this place. Admission is free and the gallery itself is situated on Harju street, just off the city's main square. It doesn't really have a unifying theme with the exhibitions varying across forms, from photography to culture.

It's fun, cute, funky and interesting. Navitrolla combines surreal landscapes and absurd animals with funny and original titles and he makes you stay at this gallery a lot longer than you're expecting. If you can't afford a painting, take a postcard or t-shirt.
