Why It’s a Great Tallinn History Stop
Tallinn’s fortifications are part of the city’s identity. Kiek in de Kök adds depth to the walls, towers, and upper-city viewpoints you see above ground.
Pair It With the Bastion Passages
If you want the full “layered Tallinn” experience, combine with Bastion Passages for an underground chapter of the city story.
After the Museum
Finish with something lighter:
- A cafe stop
- A Toompea viewpoint
- A slow Old Town loop
Try Romantic Places for an evening plan.
