Just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Tallinn, you will find a wonderful place – the Estonian Open Air Museum, showcasing the country's rural architecture and way of life.
The 14 farms in the museum provide an overview of how families from different strata of society lived in the 18–20th centuries. As you might expect to find in any proper village, there is a church, an inn, a schoolhouse, mills, a fire station, a shop, and fishing sheds by the sea. At the museum, you can buy handicrafts, ride horses, and try traditional Estonian dishes at the inn.
The museum is open year-round, offering entertainment, lovely workshops and events, and something you, regardless of your age, might not have known before.

A great open air museum. Well worth a visit. Easily accessible by bus from Freedom Square. The Soviet block apartments were very interesting and looked so authentic.
