Things to do Free Tour Behind the Iron Curtain: Communist Stories of Tallinn

WHERE WE MEET: Niguliste 2, right in front of the Tallinn Tourist Information Centre. WHERE WE END: Linnahall DURATION: 2 hours (but we like to keep things relaxed). ABOUT THE TOUR: Experience Tallinn in a way most visitors never do. This friendly, story-driven walking tour goes beyond dates and textbook history to share real stories from locals who lived through the communist era. Some are surprising, others so strange they’ll make you laugh, but all bring the past vividly to life. Join us for a 2-hour guided walk in English through the Old Town and down to the vibrant harbor area. Along the way, you’ll discover what life was really like in Soviet-era Tallinn through personal stories, legends, and everyday experiences you won’t find in guidebooks.
