    Estonian Open Air Museum

    Just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Tallinn, you will find a wonderful place – the Estonian Open Air Museum, showcasing the country's rural architecture and way of life.

    The 14 farms in the museum provide an overview of how families from different strata of society lived in the 18–20th centuries. As you might expect to find in any proper village, there is a church, an inn, a schoolhouse, mills, a fire station, a shop, and fishing sheds by the sea. At the museum, you can buy handicrafts, ride horses, and try traditional Estonian dishes at the inn.

    The museum is open year-round, offering entertainment, lovely workshops and events, and something you, regardless of your age, might not have known before.

      I thought I'd enjoy this because I've been to some awesome open air museums in Aalborg Denmark, Aarhus Denmark and Budpest Romania. This sadly was not what I expected. If you have never been to an... Read more comments

      Excellent family day spent here. It is advised to spend 2-3 hours here. We spent 6. We hired the bikes for €6 and it was the best decision. It’s an expansive area to cover and we thoroughly enjoyed... Read more comments
