A tour programme by the Estonian Centre for Architecture lets architecture lovers look behind the doors of Tallinn Linnahall, which are normally closed to the public. The Centre has run Linnahall tours since 2020, led by guides who know the building and its story well.
Linnahall was built to host the sailing regatta of the 1980 Olympics. Raine Karp, with Riina Altmäe and Ülo Sirp, designed it in 1976. It is one of the most striking examples of Estonian architecture from the Soviet era. In 2020 it was one of the most exciting filming locations for Christopher Nolan's TENET, where it stood in for the Kyiv Opera House.
The tour lasts 90 minutes and runs in Estonian, Russian and English. You will hear the building's history, see inside it and hear stories about the stars who have performed on its stage. Custom tours in six languages are offered across Estonia: info@archtours.ee.
A free account shows the full card and lets you ask Estonian Centre for Architecture for a spot. The host answers in the app.
