Excursion Panoramic views & seaplane harbour museum tour at Tallinn

Get a glimpse of Estonian architecture during this panoramic, half-day sightseeing excursion.

Kadriorg Park, Estonian Song Festival Ground

Depart the pier for a drive out of the city centre and past Kadriorg Park, the main recreation area of Tallinn. An Italian architect designed the park for Peter the Great by following the Tsar's conquest of Estonia in the Great Northern War. A photo stop is then made at the grounds where the popular Estonian Song Festival is held every five years (photo stop not available during major events of the Song Festival Ground). Then continue with a drive to Kalamaja.

Kalamaja, Seaplane Harbour Hangars

Kalamaja, meaning 'Fish House' is one of the oldest suburbs in Tallinn and is full of Bohemian charm. The quiet neighborhood is full of colorful 19th century wooden houses which have been adopted by local artists as restoration projects in an area that was traditionally dominated by fishermen, fishmongers and boat wrights. Visit the Seaplane Harbour Hangars, which were the largest reinforced concrete structures in the world when they were built in 1917 and are now housing the Maritime Museum.

Then continue past the soviet era architecture mixed with newly renovated port area, before returning to the ship.
