Strenuous Activity
Includes snack
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
What you will visit:
The area of Suurupi Lighthouse
The limestone lighthouse, built in 1760, was built to warn captains about rocks in the water and direct the ships safely to the Reval Harbor. Hear stories about the family of the last lighthouse keepers.
Pakri Lighthouse
The first lighthouse built on Pakri Peninsula, the location of this limestone structure, is believed to have been chosen by Peter the Great. The bright-red structure has been restored after damage in WWII.
Lower Old Town
Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Tallinn, Estonia's capital, is a jewel box city showcasing a rich history and special ambience. Its lower town, the larger part of medieval Tallinn, was built between the 13th and 19th centuries and is an enclosed neighborhood of colorful houses, half-hidden courtyards and churches. The town is dotted with ancient guard towers, its streets and shops are full of old-world charm, and Town Hall Square retains the ambience of when it was the hub of the Hanseatic League, trading goods from around the world in its central marketplace.
What you will see along the way:
Through the motorcoach window, take in views of Paldiski, a small coastal seaport town with a long history. The landscape along this stretch of coastline, although stark, is studded with such landmarks as Peter the Great's unfinished sea fortress, the original lighthouse and buildings that reflect its role as one of the most powerful Soviet naval bases in Estonia.
Photo Opportunity:
Keila Joa waterfall
From the jagged, limestone cliff top, focus your camera on views of the cobalt-blue Baltic Sea.
