Tallinn TV Tower, Tallinn

The Tallinn TV Tower is Estonia's tallest building and an iconic landmark located in the capital city of Tallinn. Rising to a height of 314 meters, this tower is an emblem of telecommunications prowess and a beacon of modernity in the historically-rich city.

Constructed between 1975 and 1980 in time for the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics' sailing events, which were held in Tallinn, the tower was designed to provide better telecommunications services for the event. Since then, it has become a symbol of independence and progress for Estonia, especially after its pivotal role during the Singing Revolution when it was a site of strategic importance for the independence movement.

The Tallinn TV Tower's observation deck, situated at 170 meters, offers visitors a spectacular panoramic view of the city, the Gulf of Finland, and on clear days, even a glimpse of Helsinki across the sea. The deck is equipped with interactive exhibits and multimedia displays that narrate Estonia's journey through the ages and its technological advancements.

In addition to the observation deck, the tower also features an outdoor terrace for those who wish to brave the winds and take in the cityscape without glass barriers. For the more adventurous souls, there is an edge walk experience available – a supervised walk on the open ledge of the tower's 22nd floor.

The tower is not just a tourist attraction but also serves as a functional TV and radio broadcast tower and is a vital piece of Estonia's communication infrastructure.
