TV Tower was built in 1980 for Summer Olympics sailing regatta that was held in Tallinn. Today, this 314 m high building is a great example of Soviets architecture. Tower itself is made of 190 m high reinforced concrete and 124 m steel mast is attached to it.
The view from Tallinn TV Tower is unique in Estonia as well as in all of Northern Europe.
Under your feet are the woods of Muuga. The captivating Tallinn Old Town and the glistening Baltic Sea in all of its majestic glory are off in the distance. When Estonia was still behind the Iron Curtain, this was for many Estonians a window on the free world – at night one could even catch sight of the lights of Helsinki.
