It was a surprisingly stunning view from this light tower. Take care to choose the right time and light setting for this visit and then it's worth the 5€ entrance fee.

A must visit sight! You can drive there from Tallinn in 50 minutes, visit the Lighthouse, watching everywhere from top of the lighthouse. Cliff is also a lovely see sight.

The place where the sea and the sun kiss you at the same time. I really love this place. We were there when temperature was almost 22°. I recommend to visit little bit high temperature like 28 or 30° otherwise bring Jacket with you. Overall, great place to visit.

Historic Site of the week

Bomarsund

Bomarsund fortress and garrison was built in 1832-1854 by Russian Empire to defence Åland Islands against enemies. British and French fleet attacked against it during the Crimean War in 1854. After a week of fighting the British stormed the remaining fort. Anglo-French forces destroyed it totally after battle. In the Treaty of Paris 1856, the entire Åland Islands were demilitarized, which is a status that has been preserved until this day.

Nowadays there are some ruins left and fortress area is open for visitors.
