kiek in de kok and bastion passages museum印象
-
Ideal to understand how the city got defended since Middle Age.The bastions are to be booked before you arrive. We really enjoyed the explanations of our guide. She took us back in time as we got deeper and deeper under ground, from the punk 80's to war period. Warning: avoid the bastions passages if you're claustrophobic!

The museum is very well-maintained. The climb up the different levels and all the way to the top of the tower. There is a fun cafe with really cool chairs at the top.My boys loved climbing up the tower stairs to get to the top. They also love the name of the museum and repeated it the whole day. They still talk about it today. A great silly memory of Tallinn.

Nice tower where to spend some hours. Not too big and not too many things. I would recommend not to visit the tower and Bastions together, but to do these visits on separate days.In the Bastion are you can see historical facts from different eras - medieval and Soviet time and nice trip with little train also to future. Material is presented humorously.

NOTE: We only had time to visit the Bastion passage museum so this review only covers that part (the tunnel part).The exhibition starts with a video which seem to be aimed towards children up to 12 years of age. The ensuing walk down to the tunnel is in itself quite interesting. Unfortunately, not much of interest being told by the tour guide. Historical happenings are quickly brushed over.The tour ends with a "trip to the future" which is reached a futuriistic moving tube. Here again, a video, is displayed but the relevance to the tunnels totally escaped me.A display case showing "items found in the future" (a G-string...?) is just tacky and in poor taste.A shame as the tour in the tunnels definitely has potential.

This was well worth a visit. We were very lucky with our super guide who spoke excellent English and was well informed and interested in her subject. the tour started with a short film which told a brief history of Tallinn and put the building of the tunnels in context. then the tour itself - which was fascinating. We travelled back in time - being shown the various uses of the tunnels over the years. Very worth a visit.

A good look into Tallinn's military history. The views from the top of main tower very nice. Also there was some entertainment with a flute player and dancer on the ground floor.

Kiek in de Kok is a nice museum which gives little insight of ancient way of defending city. Climbing old stairs is nice experience for children, and view from windows is just great.
-
The most interesting part is catacombs. They had promised to open another 100m till the end of 2015.

This was a great experience and an education into the long history of Estonia. The tour of the tunnels was very interesting, a real journey through time. Importantly told from an honest historic perspective , which I really enjoyed.

I only visited the Kiek in de Kok part so can't comment on the Bastion area. Entry is €4.50 for one, or a joint ticket of €8.30 gets you into both attractions. This tower with the quirky name was built in 1475 and still has a number of cannonballs wedged in its outer walls if you look hard enough. Inside is a six storey museum detailing the medieval defences of the city. There are fine views from the upper levels. Some of the guards were a bit over keen with following my every movement, as if I was about to steal something. Apart from that this is a great introduction to the history of Tallinn.
