Open Air Museum
A must-see for first-time visitors to Tallinn, the Open Air Museum transports visitors back in time to the rural Estonia of old. The vast, forested park is filled with thatched, 19thcentury farm buildings, windmills and schools, with staff in period costume demonstrating how people lived and worked in times past. Visitors can buy handicrafts, go for a horseback ride, and try out the traditional food served in the village tavern.
