Full description
VR Hisotry Time Portal “VR Tallinn 1939/44” offers two virtual tours.
Take a trip back in time to 1939 and experience the authentic feel of the former most prominent street of the city in all its beauty! Every house, every sign, every shop window has been restored. Wander the bustling street of 1939, where famous businesses and hotels of the capital operated. Come and find out what Harju Street looked like in the early morning hours and in the evening twilight, when the neon advertisements of businesses glow. At the end of a long day, catch your breath in the suite of hotel Kuld Lõvi.
The journey back in time to 1944 begins on the evening of March 9 at 6 p.m. The third year of Nazi German occupation continues in Estonia. Fly over Tallinn on the night of the 1944 March bombing and experience the extent of the destruction as you stand in the ruins of old town.
In the time travel experience “VR Tallinn 1939/44”, the former views come to life in three dimensions and in color. The unique time travel experience is made even more memorable by the opportunity to walk around the street.
After the time travel, you will see Tallinn differently and understand Estonia and Estonians better.
* VR tours start on the hour. Last tour 1 hr before closing.
