★★★★★2 months agoVery very nice tower, museum and also cafe with amazing views. The Bastion Passages are well maintained with informative signage. The main tower with 5 floors has lovely displays and interactive things for kids and adults! Fantastic overall.

★★★★★8 months agoWe really enjoyed visiting the Maiden Tower Museum. It’s an interesting historic site, and the café inside was a lovely bonus—the views overlooking the nearby church are beautiful and well worth a stop. A great place to take a break while exploring Tallinn’s Old Town.
