Soviet era and military tour in Tallinn

The tour provides an overview of the Soviet era in Estonia and explains the times of occupation.

Start the tour at the KGB Museum, where you will learn how the KGB operated during the Soviet times in Hotel Viru, which was meant for foreigners (visits upon advance booking). In Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom, you will get a thorough overview of the Soviet occupation in Estonia; be sure to also visit the Bronze Soldier, which caused a lot of media hype, in its new location at the Defence Forces Cemetery of Tallinn. Guided tours of Patarei sea fortress prison have to be booked in advance.

Constructions characteristic of that era, such as Linnahall, Tallinn Song Festival Grounds, Lasnamäe city district, Tallinn Olympic Yachting Centre in Pirita and many other places are definitely worth a visit.
