    Russalka monument was nice, but much better is the location. Around the monument is a small recreational area. A small strip of sandy beach (no swimming) and a lot of bench facing the Tallinn bay, it is gorgeous. Relax, enjoy and spend an hour or two. Bring food have a picnic.

    A collection of peaceful and thought-provoking monuments, in the shadow of an imposing, shocking, black metal cleft, which looks out to sea.

    The names of hundreds—perhaps thousands—of Estonian victims of the Soviet occupation are listed on its sides, along with a series of information panels about how and when these atrocities took place, and what we can learn from them.

    There are number of car parking spaces, and a nearby bus stop with regular services to/from the city centre.

    It is a happy chimney sculpture creating you instantly a very good disposition. In some cultures, meeting a chimney means good luck. Anyway, for sure you will smile and have couple of photos. Easy to find, close to the Freedom Square.

    Walking back from my tram ride to Kadriog attractions, I saw it located near the Fat Margaret Tower. I took some pictures here. Learned from TA reviews here about it signicance regarding lives being lost due to a ferry accident.

    This is a pleasant hill to walk around & get away from the cruise tour groups across the street on Toompea. It gives a good view of the parks & Freedom Square below. I had a drink & a snack at the small cafe here.

    At the old city, a monument for those who lost their life fighting for the freedom and independence of all estonians. Lots of options for shopping and a bite to eat a short walk from here. Love and respect what the monument stands for, but am not impressed by the art and monument itself.

    Very large Soviet era memorial that today has much graffiti and crumbling concrete. The memorial is to those who have fallen in the Soviet era and the bronze sculpture pieces attached to the concrete structure symbolize the pain and suffering of the Soviet era. There is also a large flat area that would accommodate a large military parade in past ceremonies.

    This was part of our visit to Tallinn on our cruise trip. A good place to take some photos. A big amphitheater in a good location. If it was during some concert it would have been a rich experience. There are some souvenir shops outside from which you can get some. They accept all major credit cards. So no need to worry. And quite cheap also.

    This striking memorial is situated in Tammsaare park in central Tallinn.

    The monument was completed to mark the 100th birthday of author A. H. Tammsaare (1878-1940).

    The park has got a facelift since our last visit. The monument is clearly visible now.

    Eduard Vilde (1865-1933) was an Estonian writer and journalist. He was the most significant realist in Estonian literature.

    Eduard Vilde's memorial monument can be found on Harju street next to St. Nicholas Church.

    The cornerstone was laid on March 4, 1965, to celebrate Eduard Vilde's 100th birthday.

    The red dolomite monument is an open book with a bronze relief and signature of Eduard Vilde on the right.

    This is a somehow unattractive and grumpy appreciation bas relief of the former Russian president, who made sure Estonia's independence is done peacefully.

    This striking monument was revealed in 1959 near Estonia Theater in Tammsaare Park.

    Estonian nationalists demonstrated against the Russian government. Government troops fired on demonstrators in Reval (Tallinn) on October 16, 1905, resulting in the deaths of 150 individuals. This monument is for them.
