Had a lively visit to the farm with helpful and friendly staff who were calling the animals to come closer and offered explanations. Do not expect a petting zoo. The visitors, especially children are told to behave near the animals and not to startle them as lamas and alpacas are not your average household pets. This is fair also to the animals who would otherwise be simply too stressed. We did have lovely time watching the alpacas graze, chase each other and got to give them a few carrots as well as to meet the baby miniature lamb up close. The farm also has a very nice gift shop that sells handicraft woolen items. Great day with family.

In 2007 a actual prison in Parnu was closed. Now it's reopened as the biggest escape rooms complex in Scandinavia. Are you capable to escape from an actual prison?

This jumble of 14th- and 15th-century architecture with its medieval walls, needling spires and twisting, cobblestone streets is also the site of many of the city's important historic attractions and museums including the House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads, St. Catherine's Guild and the 15th-century Guildhall that now houses the History Museum.

Historic, walled Tallinn old town is a lovely place to explore with its narrow cobbled streets and alleys, squares, beautiful buildings, array of small shops selling all kinds of goods and amazing photo opportunities and viewpoints at every turn.

This onion-domed, Russian Orthodox Church was built in 1900 and named after the Russian hero who defeated the Teutonic Knights in the thirteenth century.

This beautiful cathedral, though fairly typical for Russian cathedrals, adds a wonderful fancy touch to the overall feel of Tallinn. You can enter, but be quiet and respectful. Hats off, don’t disturb anyone, and you can’t take pictures. Enjoy the beautiful icons and the majestic serenity of this place. Definitely worth a stop.
5. Toompea Hill

An ancient 10th-century Estonian stronghold stood on this 170-foot-high limestone plateau, which was later divided into the Big and Small Fortress with its distinctive defense towers erected in the early 13th century.

It’s worth the climb along cobbled streets for the views across Tallinn to the sea and the perfectly maintained network of old buildings.
6. Tallinna Raekoja Plats

This historic square has served as a marketplace since the eleventh century and features a pharmacy that has been operating since 1422.

Everyone must visit the Old Town Square (Raekoja Plats) in the heart of Tallinn where there are many beautiful fine buildings fringing the square and creating a wonderful atmosphere. The famous Christmas market was on when we were there which made the square particularly scenic with the large Christmas tree, fairy lights and many stalls selling hot toddies and tasty snacks as well as many Christmas decorations and souvenirs.
7. Saaremaa Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 217 reviews
The Kuressaare episcopal castle, also known as the Kuressaare Castle, was built in the 14th century. Today, the castle houses the Saaremaa Museum which is devoted to the island’s nature and history. A large part of the fun is exploring the warren of chambers, halls, passages and stairways, apt to fuel anyone’s fantasies. One room near the bishop’s chamber looks down to a dungeon where, according to legend, condemned prisoners were dispatched to be devoured by hungry lions (recorded growls reinforce the mental image). Legend also tells of a knight’s body found when a sealed room was opened in the 18th century, which has given rise to varying accounts of how he met his tragic fate. Upon discovery the knight’s body dissolved into dust but don’t worry, it’s since been re-created. There’s also interesting coverage of daily life under the USSR, including the interior of a typical apartment. On the top floor, the museum has wonderful views over the bay and surrounding countryside.

it's honestly one of the most interesting castle museums I've ever been to here in Baltics - you can spend easily hours there as there's many different exhibitions. On the top floor there's also cafe opened - good coffee!

The old town with narrow pedestrian streets has a lot of interesting places: the Leaning house-, the Kissing Students fountain , the well-restored Town hall and houses on Town Hall square, a statue of Oscar Wilde, well-preserved wooden houses of the mid-18th century - Tartu toy museum and Theatre House. No less impressive is the Toome Hill Park with memorials to the university's best persons, the Angel's and the Devil's bridges, and the Cathedral ruins in a part of which the museum of Tartu University settles.
