Tallinn TV Tower Tickets

The cheapest of the Tallinn TV Tower tickets is the standard ticket at $21, and it is also the most reviewed: 4.4 from 234 reviews on GetYourGuide. The viewing platform is at 175 m, per the official site, while the whole tower is 314 m. A $90 guided tour adds the Botanic Garden. I’d book Tallinn TV Tower tickets for a clear afternoon, or for a Saturday evening.

Tallinn TV Tower at a Glance

I found two Tallinn TV Tower tickets on GetYourGuide. One is plain entry and one is a two-hour guided tour with entry included. Tallinn TV Tower tickets are for a tower that stands at Kloostrimetsa tee 58 A, about 9 km north-east of Freedom Square in a straight line, so this is a separate trip rather than a stop on an old town walk. It opened on 11 July 1980, and Wikipedia credits the architects David Baziladze and Juri Sinis.

“The viewing platform at a height of 170 metres was open to the public until 26 November 2007.”

That quote hides a useful fact. The deck closed in 2007 because the tower had too few evacuation routes, and it reopened in April 2012 after a renovation designed by KOKO Arhitektid, per Wikipedia. Everything you see today is the post-2012 version.

Tallinn TV Tower Observation Deck Tickets

Of all the Tallinn TV Tower tickets, the standard ticket is the one I’d buy for a first visit. It costs $21, carries a 4.4 rating, and is valid for 24 hours. The listing describes a route that begins in a cinema hall with an overview of the tower’s history and Estonian independence, then continues up to the viewing platform and the brasserie-restaurant. A panorama programme explains the sights below, and the platform has an interactive exhibition.

The inclusions list on this listing is muddled. It names a fast-lane ticket, but also drinks or meals, a guide and transport, which do not match a plain entry ticket. I would treat it as entry only and not count on a free meal. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

Reviewers back up this Tallinn TV Tower ticket. One wrote that the view from the top is breathtaking and that the interactive museum on the deck is good. Another called it very windy, so bring a layer even in summer.

“A really great way to view Tallinn from up high - amazing views are the highlight.”

Tallinn TV Tower Tickets and Prices

Prices for Tallinn TV Tower tickets are easy to compare because there are only two. The standard ticket is $21. The guided tour with the Tallinn Botanic Garden is $90, a gap of $69 between the two Tallinn TV Tower tickets. For that you give up independence and gain a guide, entry to both sites, and a choice of English, Italian, Russian or Estonian.

The tour is a different product, not a better ticket. It runs about two hours, meets at the tower entrance next to the ticket office, and has a single review, five stars from a verified booking in June 2026. That is far too thin to compare with the 234 reviews behind the standard ticket. I’d choose it only if the Botanic Garden, established in 1961 and known for its Palm House, is on your list anyway.

The official site also sells an evening ticket from 17:00 for 10 euros, per teletorn.ee. I could not find that ticket on GetYourGuide, so it is a venue-only option. For a group, the calculator shows the total with the booking link.

Tallinn TV Tower Restaurant

The restaurant is on the 22nd floor, one level above the 21st-floor platform that Wikipedia describes, and the official site says a tower ticket gets you in. The kitchen takes last orders one hour before closing. The page header shows the restaurant open until 22:00, which is later than the tower hours, so a dinner view may be possible after the deck has closed. Check the official site for your date.

None of the Tallinn TV Tower tickets I found include a meal, whatever the muddled inclusions list says. Reviewers rate the food well: one called it amazing and another called the cafe lovely, with a good selection. If you want a meal, buy Tallinn TV Tower tickets and book a table with the venue and treat the $21 entry as the way up.

Tallinn TV Tower Opening Hours

Per the official site, the tower is open 10:00 to 18:00 from Sunday to Friday and 10:00 to 21:00 on Saturday. From 17:00 the evening ticket applies. The official site also links to exceptional opening hours. At the time of writing it noted a private event on 22 October 2026, so that date is a poor choice for a visit.

Because a Tallinn TV Tower ticket has a 24-hour validity and free cancellation, you can lock in a day and change it if the forecast turns. Hours can change with the season, and so can the price of Tallinn TV Tower tickets, so look at the official page the week you travel.

Tallinn TV Tower Reviews

Reviews of Tallinn TV Tower tickets and of the visit are consistent. The standard ticket has 4.4 from 234 reviews. People praise the view across Tallinn, the interactive exhibition, and the history of television and of Estonian independence. One reviewer said the tower is well organised and informative.

The complaints are mild: strong wind on the platform and the distance from the old town. One reviewer noted you can take a coach back and forth to the old city districts, which fits the transport note on the listing: city buses 34A, 38 and 49 stop at Teletorn, and the green City Sightseeing line does too.

Tallinn TV Tower Edge Walk

The official site lists a Walk on the Edge at 175 m, where you step out onto the glass floor and walk along the outside of the tower. It also mentions an open viewing platform and 916 steps to the top. I did not find an Edge Walk on GetYourGuide, so none of the Tallinn TV Tower tickets above include it.

If heights excite you, book it directly. Read the official terms for age limits, weather cancellations and the price, because I have no source for those and won’t guess.

Tallinn TV Tower Photos

The best photos you get with Tallinn TV Tower tickets come from the platform on a clear day, with the old town far to the south-west and the sea to the north. Glass reflects, so press your lens close and shade it with a hand or jacket. The open viewing platform, per the official site, is the place for pictures without glass, though reviewers warn about the wind.

From the ground, the tower rises 314 m, per Wikipedia, and a low evening sun gives a good silhouette. Plan to arrive a little early, since slots and queues vary.

Tallinn TV Tower View

From 175 m, which is where Tallinn TV Tower tickets take you, the view covers the old town, the harbour and the sea to the north, and the forest and suburbs around the tower. A panorama programme on the platform names the main sights, according to the listing. One reviewer wrote that you can see most of Tallinn from the top.

I’d pick a day with cloud cover well under 60%, because on the greyest winter days there is little to see. The next section shows which months are clearest, and the calculator further down shows how far the horizon reaches from the deck.

The best months to use Tallinn TV Tower tickets are April, May and August. In the 2025 Open-Meteo data for Tallinn, each averaged 59% cloud cover, and July had the most sunshine at 13.1 hours a day. November and December were the cloudiest, both at 87%, with only 1 to 2 sunshine hours a day.

Sunset falls as early as 15:18 in December and as late as 22:39 in June. I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset, but the opening hours limit that. With a 18:00 close from Sunday to Friday, a sunset visit works from November to February. On Saturday the tower stays open until 21:00, which also covers September. In summer the sun sets after closing, so book your Tallinn TV Tower ticket for a clear afternoon instead. Treat these numbers as a guide, not a forecast.

What You Can See From Tallinn TV Tower

The deck height used above is the official 175 m. The old town is a compact cluster in the distance and the sea is close. The landmarks below are straight-line distances from the tower, calculated from the Wikipedia coordinates and the Google Maps positions.

Tallinna Linnahall, the concert hall on the waterfront, is the nearest at 8.1 km (5.0 mi). Kadriorg Art Museum is 6.6 km (4.1 mi) away, Viru Gate 8.7 km (5.4 mi), and Tallinn Town Hall and Towers’ Square both 8.9 km (5.5 mi). Freedom Square is the farthest of these at 9.1 km (5.7 mi). Look south-west for the old town.

Tallinn TV Tower vs Other Observation Decks in Tallinn

The old town has several viewing platforms on Toompea hill, and Google Maps lists them as observation decks. They sit much lower than the tower. Tallinn TV Tower tickets are the only paid option I can price here, and I found no source stating their admission rules, so I mark them as unconfirmed.

Deck	Google rating	Reviews	Distance from the TV Tower	Free or paid
Tallinn TV Tower	4.4 (GetYourGuide)	234	0 km	Paid, from $21
Kohtuotsa viewing platform	4.8	7,199	9.0 km (5.6 mi)	Check locally
Patkuli Viewing Platform	4.8	5,879	9.0 km (5.6 mi)	Check locally

Nun Tower and Walls	4.6	828	8.9 km (5.5 mi)	Check locally

Tickets for the Tallinn TV Tower buy the highest view in the city; the platforms in town show the old town roofs from a modest height. The TV Tower is the only one here that shows the whole city from 175 m, plus the sea, so I’d do both: the old town platforms on a walk, the tower for the full panorama. None of these decks has its own page on this site yet.

How I’d Choose

• Cheapest: the standard ticket at $21. It is the best rated and most reviewed of the Tallinn TV Tower tickets.
• First visit: the same $21 Tallinn TV Tower ticket, on a clear day, with a table booked in the restaurant if you want a meal.
• Sunset: the $21 ticket for the Tallinn TV Tower on a winter afternoon, or on a Saturday until September, when the tower stays open until 21:00.
• Gardens and a guide: the $90 tour with the Botanic Garden, if the garden is on your list.
• Thrill: book the Walk on the Edge with the venue, since no GetYourGuide Tallinn TV Tower ticket includes it.
• Families: the $21 ticket, because the cinema hall, the interactive exhibition and the 24-hour validity give you flexible timing.
