Typa

TYPA is a design centre for print and paper art where we display a host of historic presses and traditional techniques from papermaking to letterpress book printing. Old machinery is complemented by contemporary architectural paper objects and folded designs. Artists from all around the world work in the studio and display their works in the on-site gallery. As a visitor, you will be given a tour around the centre, during which you will be able to experience work both as a papermaker and a printer. We will take you 2000 years back in history and work our way back into the modern digital world. The tour is included in the price of the ticket, lasts for about 1-1,5 h and is suitable for kids as well as adults. In addition to the tour, we can host various workshops. Ask your tour guide for more information. In our shop corner, you can find a selection of journals and notebooks that we manufacture by hand and we also take custom orders for diaries and albums, as well as custom prints.

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?

Tallinn Old Town

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.

Aleksander Nevski Katedraali

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.

Reviewed By TingCO - Manila, Philippines

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.

You can stop by the beautiful palace, visit the President's residence, take you little ones to the amusement park, see the rose garden with roses from all over the world or just stop and say hi to the President's bees.

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.

Reviewed By B2042SUmikej - Chepstow, United Kingdom

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.

Eesti Vabaohumuuseum

Within just a 15-minute drive from the center of Tallinn there is a delightful place – the Estonian Open Air Museum that invites you to see rural architecture and get acquainted with village life. The 14 farms of the museum show the visitor the life of families of different income and occupation in the 18th-20th centuries. As in anyreal village, there is a church, an inn, a school, a number of mills, a fire station, a village shop and net sheds by the sea. Although 74 buildings have been brought over so far, the museum is far from being completed; it is constantly changing and developing. You can have good time and also learn something at the Estonian Open Air Museum in any season!
