Kiek in de Kök Fortifications Museum

The Kiek in de Kök Fortifications Museum allows visitors to explore Tallinn's defensive history from multiple levels, ranging from massive medieval towers to underground bastion passages. The central artillery tower of Kiek in de Kök introduces the development of the city's fortifications and the military history of the capital, while the museum complex unites several defensive towers and historical spaces near Toompea. The 17th-century bastion tunnels running underground within the fortifications leave a special impression. The route offers the opportunity to view the Old Town not only as a beautiful architectural ensemble, but also as a once heavily fortified city. Thanks to the combination of towers, exhibitions, city views, and underground passages, this is one of the most comprehensive historical sites in the centre of Tallinn.
