TV Tower
Editor's review
Ceremoniously opened in 1980 on "Soviet Revolution Day" (Nov. 7), Tallinn's TV tower is 314 metres high - an impressive and imposing piece of Soviet engineering. The observation deck at 170 metres is the highest in the Nordic countries, and on a good day visitors are able to see clear across the Gulf of Finland to their neighbor on the other side. On a not-so-clear day, you'll mostly be gazing at the Lasnamae suburb of Tallinn. Still, you might a giddy kick out of the lift ride and your subsequent expulsion from it into a world whose people and atmosphere seem to have changed little since 1980. Tickets are 50kr and there's a restaurant for those that want to really soak up the view.

If your interested in Sovietica and all its quirks check out the TV tower, it still has the feel of the CCCP even the food tastes like its been illegally shipped in from Azebaijan.

Hell Hunt Brian: Most solid pub. No bachelor parties allowed (Estonian women will not put up with any fuss). Buy a round for the locals, or for a few of them anyway. They will appreciate it. Tip your waitress, she probably works harder than you do. Tallinn Town Hall Ro: I live in Estonia and I think the Town Hall is an incredible building! Hell Hunt David: One of my favourite places to hit when I am in Tallinn which is only once every 3 or 4 years it seems. It's worth the walk uphill. Ring Club Luis: Is this place still open? Im going to Tallin in June
