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.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
