The Eesti Meremuuseum (Estonian Maritime Museum) in Tallinn is a gem—especially if you visit the main site at the Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam). It combines maritime history, interactive exhibits, and massive vessels in a way that’s both educational and exciting.

The highlight? The real submarine Lembit, which you can actually walk through—claustrophobic, but super cool. There are also boats suspended from the ceiling, seaplanes, and fun hands-on activities for all ages. It’s well thought-out and visually stunning.

Kids and adults alike will find something to enjoy. There’s also a nice harbor view outside, and the museum café is a chill spot to relax afterward.

Not only for history or ship lovers—this place makes Estonia’s maritime past come alive in an unexpectedly fun way. Definitely...

Very nice museum with creatively presented exhibition in a spectacular and very unusual building. The star if the show is a submarine, which you can explore from inside, which is very impressive. However, apart from this submarine and a suspended hydroplane there are no big items inside. There are a lot of small racing yachts, the sea mines, the floating lights, etc, but they are not very impressive and the exhibition feels rather small. Outside there are several museum ships in the harbor, which are also very interesting. The old icebreaker in front of museum is particularly cool - you go all around including the huge stream engines. I can't give it 5 starts though because the price is too high - the museum is not large enough...
