Linnahall – V. I. Lenin Tallinn Palace of Culture and Sports!
Linnahall – a gigantic concrete colossus by the sea. But what lies beneath and behind its massive concrete shell? On the Laternamatkad tour of Linnahall, we walk across and around the building, discovering stories of its creation and fate - stories filled with intrigue… and then we do something rare: we go inside and explore the halls where crowds have gathered, important decisions have been made, and world-famous stars have performed. We visit the rooms where performers collected their thoughts before great moments, peek into backstage preparation areas, and sense the tension and anticipation preserved within Linnahall’s walls. At the end of the tour, we step onto the stage ourselves - like stars - onto the very spot where applause has thundered and history has been made.
This is a meeting with Linnahall’s hidden story - its memories and unanswered questions. Did you know that Linnahall once housed the largest wall tapestry in the world? Which stars have performed on its stage, and what curious backstage stories have taken place there? Why did world-renowned film director Christopher Nolan become fascinated with Linnahall and choose Tallinn as one of the filming locations for his blockbuster Tenet? If you want to see Linnahall as most people never have - join the guided Laternamatkad tour and bring a friend!

"I’m one of those who has always dreamed of a truly remarkable birthday. Not the usual sit-around-the-table kind, but one that offers genuinely memorable experiences. Ideally something unexpected and exciting, so that even years later everyone would fondly remember, “Wow, that was amazing!” I soon realized that Matkafy Laternamatkad ticks every box on my wish list. Even though there are 55 different tours on the adventure list, I never hesitated to take my friends to the abandoned Murru prison, exploring the buildings and area where the saying truly fits: “If these walls could talk…” How often in life do you get the chance to walk among apocalyptic walls and experience the real stories hidden inside? When this long-awaited day finally arrived, I couldn’t hide my excitement and thrill. Everything was perfectly planned. Our guide Mihkel Reile received nothing but praise from the guests: “So humorous!”, “So knowledgeable!”, “Easily captures everyone’s attention”, “Where did they find such a charming guy?”, “Wow, how clearly and engagingly he tells stories!” In addition, for this tour that exceeded all expectations, a romantic birthday table was set up in a quiet wooded corner, tailored exactly to my wishes. This was the best birthday of my life! Honestly. A unique and adventurous tour, perfectly suited for any celebration and season."
