Kiek in de Kok and Bastion Passages Museum, Tallinn

If you are in Tallinn, this is a must visit. When entering the area to pay you have 3 options. Visit the Tower Visit the underground tunnels that are under the city wall Or do both I recommend you do both! The walk through the under ground tunnel takes you through the history of how the tunnel and walls were used over the centuries. There are signs and displays in multiple languages that make it an interesting walk. It takes some time, I would say 45 minutes or so, and it’s a good amount of walking but it’s cool and self paced. You then go into the tower which is set up as a museum as you walk up the stairs. Be aware, the stairs are steep! But you can rest at each level. Make sure to look out the port holes in the tower and get some magnificent views of the city. This is a great preserved piece of history.

Very cool museum, especially underground bastion passageways! Buy full exhibition ticket to visit passages and towers. In towers there are museums. Maiden tower has nice cafes with super view, but they were closed while our visit. NB. Some steps in towers are hard to step and you should be in shape for visit. In passages there are 10-11 degrees all the year

I visited on our first time in Tallinn. The museum has many sections so it’s best to explore and be curious. It contains different subject from the history, medieval lifestyles, animals, Estonian history ect. I recommend keeping your eyes peeled for an amazing view. I really felt the bastion lacking information and continuity as many passage jump in timeline. While it’s a great museum with much to see, it sometimes was difficult to learn about objects or the history as there were signs for some artifact however still an enjoyable visit.

The must place to visit in Tallinn! We had the opportunity to visit 3 towers and explore the history of the city, including its artists and theosophical background! The entrance fee is 8 euros for the towers and 12 if you wish to visit the bastion tunnels as well, which I totally recommend! The tunnels are 300m long with various exhibits and special lighting which makes the whole experience even more memorable!

This is like a must have to people who visit Tallinn, definitely recommend to make time to visit this place and deep into history. It is also super stylish, artsy, very well made. We were offered to take blankets in case we don’t have warm clothes, bacause down there is pretty cold, so make sure you dress up well. Nice attitude and affordable prices.
