16 Things to See and Do in Tallinn, Estonia (Updated 2025)

"On the top floor of Hotel Viru, the KGB Museum occupies former surveillance rooms that I found chillingly revealing — listening and recording equipment (some cleverly disguised), dial phones, uniforms and a typewriter illustrate how covert monitoring took place during the Soviet occupation, and the guided tour (starting in the hotel lobby) brings that history to life." - Matthew Kepnes
