    Fat Margaret Museum and Visitor Center

    This UNESCO World Heritage Site provides an overview of maritime trade, professions, and navigation from the Middle Ages to the era of sailing, steam, and motor ships. There is a total of 1000 m² of exhibition space.

    A journey through the Fat Margaret Museum and Visitor Center is to see Estonia as a maritime nation. Nearly 700 historical objects, a diverse collection of ship models, and nearly 50 digital and hands-on exhibits help tell the story. The star exhibit is the 700-year-old wreck of the Koge ship.

    On the visitor center's roof, there is a wonderful observation platform with a café. Head up on the elevator and enjoy an exceptionally beautiful view of Tallinn's Old Town and the view towards the sea!
