Tallinn Song Festival Grounds

Tallinn, Estonia

The Tallinn Song Stage (Lauluväljak) was built in 1959 for the Estonian Song Festival. The stage was meant to hold over 15,000 singers but it’s also possible to use it the other way – the performance will take place in front of the stage and audience is sitting on the stage.

The stage was the main places of the Estonian revolution and new independence in 1988-1991. Estonians gathered there to sing patriotic hymns in what became known as the Singing Revolution that led to the overthrow of Soviet rule.

Went to see The Weeknd and the space was very pretty. Only disadvantage was being short you wont be able to see much if you don’t have some kind of golden circle ticket. The staff did a good job on getting people in and out. Only negative was food and drink lines.

Best place in front of the beach and warm outside swimming pool. Perfect for the families, rooms that goes straight to the terrace with the pool, table outside your room to enjoy sea view and have a chill drink. Highly recommended all year round as the pool open in winter too. We were family with 2 kids, 4 years old and 13 years old. Will definitely come back. ??

Fantastic place for concerts. Holds 65 000 spectators. Higher ground rises back and gives good view over crowd. Surrounding park also lovely.

The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
