GUIDED ARCHITECTURE TOUR
LIVING IN TALLINN - ACCOMMODATION THROUGH TIMES

This tour will take you on a time-travelling trip and give you an overview of how living conditions in Tallinn changed during the most intense urbanization period of the 20th century. You’ll see the picturesque wooden districts built for workers around the centre of Tallinn in the beginning of the century – and how these have transformed into heritage protection areas, dotted with contemproary architecture. You’ll also see the Soviet sleeping districts built to ease the lack of accommodation space for workers moving to Estonia during the height of Soviet industrialisation from 1960s to 1980s. We will finish the tour with a Soviet Utopia and a peek into the 21st century - Rotermanni quarter, port area or Fahle building.
