TV tower
Estonia's tallest building — 314 m — was built for the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. From the viewing platform at 170 m, a wonderful view opens over Tallinn.
Overview
The Tallinn TV Tower is Estonia’s tallest structure, offering visitors unforgettable views and an exciting journey through time. The TV Tower was completed for the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, when Tallinn hosted the legendary sailing regatta. The interactive permanent exhibition on the tower’s second floor gives a thorough and fascinating overview of the tower’s complex construction process and its significance in Estonian history. In the permanent exhibition hall on the 21st floor, an enchanting 360-degree view of the capital and the coastline opens before you.
Are you looking for an experience that makes your heart beat faster and offers mesmerising views? The 314-metre Tallinn TV Tower is a true Estonian landmark, holding a worthy 19th place in the ranking of the World Federation of Great Towers. It is not just a building – it is the tallest open building in Northern Europe, where the boundaries between sky and earth dissolve.
The TV Tower offers experiences that leave no adventurer cold:
- If you have enough nerve and courage, you can quite literally walk on the edge of the clouds — try the edge walk at 175 metres;
- But if that is a step too far for you, one floor below awaits a unique chance to stand directly on glass, with 170 metres of pure emptiness beneath your feet.
In the exhibition area on the TV Tower’s first floor, Collected Moments, and in the entrance gallery, A Century of Television Legends.
