Tallinn
Entertainment
Entertainment:Although being the capital of Estonia and an important business and legal center Tallinn is rather small. Its tiny streets in Old Town house a large number of galleries, museums, sightseeing spots and other entertainment places.
For art lovers apart from Old Tallinn itself there are a lot of galleries in Tallinn. Some recommendations would be Navitrolla Galerii – a rather diverse place of a local artist, Viviann Napp Gallery – famous place for Eastern European artists, Aurum – jewellery gallery, Kastellaanimaja Gallery – contemporary artists.
There is also a great amount of museums all across Tallinn. Adamson-Eric Museum – with works by a world-renown artist, Applied Art Museum – museum of Estonian applied arts, Museum of Estonian Architecture – the name says it all, Niguliste Museum - Concert hall – offering works of medieval art, The Great Guild Hall – this is now a historical museum, Maarjamäe Palace – hosting Estonia’s history museum, Kiek in de Kök – a historical defense tower, and Estonian Open Air Museum – with shows of local farmers and peasant traditions.
Because Tallinn dates back to 13th century there are a lot of houses, towers, castles and palaces left up to date. Most of them represent different centuries and reigns, worth a visit. Kadriorg Palace, Tallinn Town Hall, Dominican Monastery, Town Hall Pharmacy, House of the Brotherhood of Black Heads, Church of the Holy Ghost, Nunna, Sauna and Kuldjala Towers, Maiden Tower (Neitsitorn), Toompea Castle & Tall Hermann’s Tower, and St. Brigitta’s Convent. Cat's Well and St. Catherine’s Passage are also worth visiting while in the Old Town.
Tallinn’s City Theatre and Estonian National Opera provide a pleasant experience.
Gamblers won’t be disappointed either, there are various play houses: Reval Park Hotel & Casino, Admiral Casino, Bally's Casino, and Casino London.
For those that love to dance their feet off Tallinn offers a number of nightclubs and discos. Rock Cafe, R.I.F.F., BonBon, Bonnie & Clyde, Café Amigo, Hollywood, Moskva, and Terrarium.
