Setting out from the pier, you will see the modern and bustling city center of Tallinn which is home to many banks, shops and offices, sitting side by side with houses from the beginning of the 20th century. In the distance you may glimpse some of the towers and steeples of Tallinn's Old Town, with structures that date back to the 1500s.

You will next drive through Lasnamäe, which was constructed as a vast residential district of never-ending apartments. Lasnamäe is the most populous administrative district of Tallinn, and is mostly represented by 5-16 stories high panel blocks of flats, built in the 1970-1990s.

Driving from Lasnamäe to the Kose-Pirita district, you will see a very different type of architecture - private houses from the 50's and 60's with their neat little gardens. Just across the Pirita River lie the majestic ruins of the Pirita Convent (St. Bridget.) The largest convent in Old Livonia, it was founded in 1407 and could be considered one of the first large women's choirs in Estonia as they prayed/sang seven times a day. It was also a well-known destination for international pilgrims. The convent operated for more than 160 years until it was destroyed by Ivan the Terrible's forces in 1575. During your tour of the ruins you will see where masses and concerts are still performed to this day.

Drive along the coast of the nearby Viimsi peninsula. This area saw the arrival of its first inhabitants around the 13th century. Buildings developed along the coastline and gradually mixed settlements appeared, where Swedes, Finns and Estonians lived side by side.

During the Soviet period, Viimsi was the center of a prominent collective fish farm. Even today you can see the old farm buildings alongside new houses which are rapidly appearing. A visit will be made to the Estonian Open Air Museum. With 12 farms, as well as a church, tavern, schoolhouse, a number of mills, and a fire station, it displays peasant architecture that was typical in rural Estonia from the 18th and 19th centuries. After your visit to the outdoor museum, you will enjoy some light refreshments at a restaurant overlooking the picturesque seashore.
