Housed in Viimsi Manor, the former home of Johan Laidoner who was perhaps the most influential war hero in Estonian history, the Estonian War Museum is a great place to start if you'd like to learn more about this country's history. Estonia has had troops fighting on its soil from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Russia and has even witnessed some Viking battles. Inside you'll find all sorts of displays and info on the various wars Estonia has been involved in, as well as exhibits on the role the country's armed forces currently play in the world of warfare.

Getting there: Take bus nr 1A  to Viimsi from the Viru Centre’s underground bus terminal (C-4) and get off at “Viimsi vallamaja” stop (should be about a 25min ride). Walk back to the main road and turn right, another 50m and it will be the large pink building on your left.

Admission free. An in-depth and guided tour can be had for groups of up to 10 people for a mere €6.40.
