Top Estonia Attractions & Museums

The Museum of Illusions Tallinn is housed at Rataskaevu 10 — a building as full of stories as the illusions within it. Nestled on one of the city’s oldest medieval streets between Town Hall Square and Toompea Hill, it has long been a home to creativity — from early theatres to the legendary Von Krahl stage. Today, this historic space continues to inspire curiosity and wonder, inviting you to see reality from a new perspective. Across 600 m² of interactive exhibits, illusions intertwine with science and art. When physics meets optics, and art unveils ancient mysteries, every curiosity sparks behind every corner. In this space, light becomes your paintbrush, shadows transform into sculptures, and reality is not quite as it seems. Ever wondered why your eyes sometimes deceive your mind? Whatever piques your curiosity, our team is ready to help you unlock the world of illusions.

Ascend via elevator to the observation deck on the Tallinn TV Tower, the tallest structure in Estonia. The tower itself is 314 meters (1030 feet), while the observation deck sits at 170 meters (558 feet). You receive a time slot for making your visit; it is recommended you arrive about 15 minutes prior. You can also take time to look at the historic and cultural exhibits on the ground floor.

Soaring to a height of 574 feet (175 metres), the Tallinn TV Tower offers unrivalled views over the surrounding landscape—but heading up to the 22nd floor to soak up the scenery isn’t for the feint-hearted! With this Walk On The Edge ticket, head up to the dizzying heights with your safety harness attached for an unforgettable sightseeing experience in Tallinn.

Located in an old wooden building in the heart of Tartu’s Old Town, the Toy Museum transports its adult visitors back to their most joyous childhood days and offers children plenty to see and do. The permanent exhibit displays toys that children in Estonia have played with throughout the ages. The display also includes artist-made dolls, souvenir dolls from around the globe and traditional Finno-Ugric toys. The museum has play and workshop rooms, and the exhibit rooms also offer plenty to keep one busy. Alternating exhibits and children’s activities are organized at the museum. The objective of the toy museum is to collect, preserve, study and introduce toys of Estonians and nations of other countries together with everything related to playing. The museum deals with the development of children’s culture and offers opportunities to spend free time for children and families.
