Why Go
If you like big-sky views and modern-city panoramas, the TV Tower is a strong Tallinn add-on — especially paired with a seaside walk.
What to Do There
The simplest plan is also the best:
- Go up for panoramic views
- Take your time (don’t rush the view)
- Then go straight into a calm seaside afternoon in Pirita
Pair It With Pirita
Make it a “sea day”:
- TV Tower → Pirita promenade walk → sunset
Other Great Pairings
- Culture + sea: Song Festival Grounds + Pirita
- Parks + museums: Kadriorg + one museum (Kumu / Kadriorg Art Museum)
Best Time to Visit
Late afternoon works well: you can combine views with golden hour light and finish with dinner back in the center.

FAQ
Is the TV Tower worth it if you’ve already done Toompea viewpoints?
Yes if you want a modern, wide-angle panorama and a seaside day in Pirita. Toompea is medieval skyline; the TV Tower is big-sky, modern perspective.
