KGB Prison Cells (Pagari Street)

This is a focused, emotionally heavy museum experience connected to Estonia’s Soviet-era history. It’s best approached as a place to learn and reflect, not a quick curiosity stop.

If you want Tallinn beyond medieval beauty — if you want modern historical context — this is one of the strongest places to go.

For a broader modern history museum experience, pair with Vabamu. If you want a guided “Cold War layer” in the city centre, consider KGB Museum (Hotel Viru).

Don’t stack heavy stops back-to-back. A good rhythm is:

• Museum visit → quiet walk → warm cafe

For a calming reset route afterward, use Walking Routes.
