Pirita Convent Ruins — Attraction in Tallinn

I recently visited the Pirita Convent Ruins in Tallinn, Estonia and was thoroughly impressed by the rich history and beauty of the site. The ruins are well preserved and provide a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Nevertheless, it's highly reccomended to visit Pirita Convent ruins, and feel the atmosphere of the Middle...

I wished to show this place to my son, but we faced a closed gate and a malfunctioning ticket machine. After several hours, we returned and it was still shut. I called, assumingly, a receptionist who told me that she would be there soon. As a result, no one came. It must be noted that we weren't the only visitors willing to enter the covent. A friendly reminder - work on punctuality. I deem that it is not so complicated to make it to...
