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.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
