Kohtu Street Viewing Platform

From here you will get fantastic views of the city, over the rooftops, the Oleviste Church and beyond to the sea.

St Olaf’s Church (Oleviste Kirik)

Once considered the tallest building in the world, its spire was used as an orientation point by seamen and later the KGB used it to send transmissions. The spire was shortened in 1820 due to reconstruction but is still an impressive sight on the Tallinn skyline and the viewing platform at the base of the spire provides breathtaking views across the city.

TV Tower

Opened on 7th November 1980 (Soviet Revolution Day), the 314 metre high tower is a prime example of Soviet engineering. In August 1991 it was the scene of a tense standoff between Soviet troops and the Estonians. The whole style of the tower has remained unchanged and the Galaxy restaurant 170 metres up is a good example of 1980’s Soviet decor, as well as offering quality food and great views of the city from its viewing platform; on a clear day you can see as far as Finland.
