The secret room wasn’t discovered until 1994, but, luckily it is perfectly preserved since the Communist members fled the country. On this guided tour, you’ll discover how hotel guests were unknowingly spied on (some 60 hotel rooms, as well as restaurant tables, had concealed espionage devices hidden in them), and the complicated history of the Cold War in Estonia.
Hotel Viru and the KGB Museum are located a short distance from Old Town Square (roughly an 8-minute walk). You will walk past Musumägi and through Tammsaare Parks to get there.
The museum is open daily for tours from 10am to 5:30pm. Again, you must make a reservation online or by emailing the hotel. The museum is closed on Monday from November to April.
Tallinn Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the jewel of the city, housing art, culture, food, and history amongst its 13th-century cobblestone streets and Gothic buildings.
