Housed in Viimsi Manor, the former summer residence of General Johan Laidoner, the Commander-in-Chief of the 
Estonian Armed Forces in the Estonian War of Independence, the Estonian War Museum is the best place to get an overview of Estonia and Estonians in wars throughout history. Step into general’s office, climb into Forest Brothers' bunker, take a look at various arms and historical uniforms of the Estonian army. Newly opened is an exhibition about Estonia in the World War II and display of WWII weapons. In the front yard of the Museum stands an armoured train straight from the Estonian War of Independence era. Kids can have fun in the Play Headquarters.
The Heavy Artillery Hall is situated 300 meters from the main building and is full of artillery guns and fighting vehicles, including former Soviet monument tank of Narva T-34 and a Russian tank T-72 destroyed in the Ukrainian war.

Getting there: Take bus N°1 to Viimsi from 'Kivisilla' stop near the Viru Centre 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 yellow building on your left.
