St. Nicholas' Church and Museum

The church and museum contain religious artifacts, including a stunning macabre painting. Apart from the macabre, I found it all a bit boring. It was also crowded with a tour, which made it hard to appreciate the building as a whole. You are able to visit the different floors in the tower by lift or stairs, of which there are 233 steps. The lift took a long time due to the number of people using it. I gave up and used the stairs. The top floor has stunning views over Tallinn and is definitely worth a visit. The outside of the building is beautiful. As a note, there is a small children's playground behind the building. You need to buy a ticket to enter. The Tallinn Card is accepted here. There are toilets, these were clean. There was, also, a souvenir shop. Bags need to be left in lockers. These were free to use. The building is wheelchair accessible. There are disability toilets. They have put guideways in for sight impaired people at the ticket desk, cloakroom, and disabled toilets.

This former church now houses a very interesting collection of sacral and worldly art. Silverware, old coats of arms etc. The two Main attractions are the high altar painted by Hermen Rode from Lübeck and the Dance of Death fragment. Both are exceptipoal pieces of art and (almost) unique. In addition to visiting the exhibits, you can also take the 223 steep steps or the elevator to the viewing deck of the tower, which offers great views over the Old Town.

Better than expected. There could be more items to show, but now the space can be seen better. Stairs to heaven, I mean to tower, were wonderful, but I took the lift down. Extra exhibitions (Estonian books, lego history of Estonia) were good addition. Price was little steep.

Visited as a group. We loved it and used the lift up to the top for great views over the city. We took the 200+ stairs down.

Beautiful church, but we went there mainly for the panoramic views of the tower. There are a few steps along the way and you have to leave your coat at the dressing (so take your phone, Kleenex, etc, with you…). The exhibition going on was interesting, but the views from the top (there’s an elevator) are just impressive, especially on a clear day. Highly recommended! A bit pricey (14 euros per person), but it was worth to us because of the magnificent views.

Worth visiting, one can go up the tower with an elevator. Nice view!

The museum is rather small and not the most interesting but the viewing platform in the tower is a very nice plus. Entrance fee is 15 euros

Nice view from the top. Theres a glass elevator and interesting exhibition on the other floors. At 4pm during the weekend theres an organ concert. Wheelchair accesible.
