Once Upon A Time In Estonia: The Ferris Wheel In Tallinn Is Called A Skywheel (2)

 On my recent visit to Estonia, I was fortunate to ride in the most popular Ferris wheel in the country, called Skywheel. Inside the Skywheel, you can see the entirety of Tallinn- the pedestrians, drivers, and good people of Estonia going on with their daily duties.


Tallinn’s SkyWheel of Tallinn is a one-of-a-kind rooftop Ferris wheel, perched atop the T1 Mall on Sõssi Hill. It reaches a stunning 120 m above sea level, making it the second‑highest observation spot in the city, just below the TV Tower.

It offers sweeping panoramas of Tallinn city, Lake Ülemiste, the airport, and even the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland on a clear day as it was during my recent visit.

The structure of the Ferris wheel or Skywheel as it is referred to in Estonia is quite impressive. Specifically, The wheel itself is 45 m in diameter, placed on the 35 m mall roof and a 40 m hill, altogether reaching 120 m. Also, a total of six persons per cabin, and a sum total of at least 160 people per session.

The ticket for the Skywheel



Further, the velocity is moderate and it is only suitable for those who are above the age of 12.

It’s ideal to use the Skywheel whenever you’re in Estonia. The duration for the session is 12 minutes (that is, the ferry wheel only goes around three times), and it costs €10 (10 euros per head) and €28 for a family.

The voyage is quite safe and isn’t heinous to the health as the speed is actually mild. Also, this session can be used to connect with friends, family, and acquaintances while you sit down calmly within the next 12 minutes to have a heartfelt conversation and let them know you enjoy being with them.

So, a moment on the Skywheel is off my bucket list, next is a visit to the Eiffel Tower in France.

Au revoir.
