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

"Originally built in the 17th century as storage for the Kiek in de Kök tower, the Bastion Tunnels later served as prisoner cells and WWII air‑raid shelters and were only opened to the public in 2004; on a guided tour I experienced the winding, dark tunnels and learned about their layered, sometimes seedy history." - Matthew Kepnes
