What you can expect

Take this spectacular drive along Tallinn's coast to experience the area's natural beauty and fascinating maritime and Soviet history. You'll also visit the Olympic Center, built in Tallinn for the Moscow Olympics, and learn how yachting competitions were organized during Soviet times.

We follow the coastline, which is partially closed as part of the border zone established during Soviet times. At the peninsula of Viimsi, we walk to an abandoned air force base in the forest, where strategic rockets were installed until Estonia's restoration of independence in the early 1990s.

On our way back to Tallinn city center, we will visit the Tallinn TV tower (also built in 1980 for the Moscow Olympics) to get to know more about the unbelievable building strategies employed by the Soviets, their censorship of the media, and the dangerous events when Estonia declared its independence in 1991. Our drive back to the city center also takes us through the biggest city district built in soviet times, a high-rise area of apartment blocks named Lasnamäe.
