Getting to Estonian History Museum from your hotel

Guests at the closest addresses simply walk.

About Estonian History Museum

The Estonian History Museum sits in Tallinn's Old Town, the walled medieval core that still has 2 km of standing wall, twenty surviving towers and a working town hall from 1404. Visitors come for the collection and for the streets around it: the merchants' lower town by Raekoja plats, and Toompea up the limestone hill through Pikk jalg gate, which still feels administratively separate. The street plan has never been rationalised, so the cobbles between Pikk and Lai reward an early start. Come at 8am and those lanes are empty and echoing; come at 1pm in July, when three cruise ships are in, and Viru gate is a slow-moving queue. Kalamaja, Telliskivi and Kadriorg extend the visit well beyond the postcard.

Tips for staying near Estonian History Museum

  • The Old Town fills up when cruise ships dock. Three in port at once turns Viru gate into a queue, so walk the cobbles between Pikk and Lai at 8am if you want them to yourself.
  • Early flights: the closest hotels, from ALUR Hostel Tallinn Old Town and Puha Vaimu Kulalistemaja at 60 m to Red Group Kinga 1 at 90 m, are all a 1-minute walk, so you can drop bags and be at the museum almost immediately.
  • Parking is listed at Dream Stay Main Square Apartment with Picturesque View, Dream Stay Town Hall Square Apartments and Red Group Kinga 1, useful if you drive into the Old Town rather than arriving on foot.
  • Book the 5-star and 4-star rooms early: Schlössle Hotel Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Hotel Telegraaf Autograph Collection both score 4.7 from 490 and 952 reviews, and Nunne Boutique Hotel scores 4.8 from 214 reviews.
  • Air conditioning is listed at Hotel Telegraaf Autograph Collection, Schlössle Hotel Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Nunne Boutique Hotel, worth noting for a July visit when the Old Town is at its busiest.
