Search flights from LED to TLL
Peterhof Palace
The 'Russian Versailles' is visible shortly after takeoff, with its grand fountains and gardens facing the sea.
Narva and Ivangorod Fortresses
Two massive stone fortresses facing each other across the Narva River, marking the border between Russia and Estonia.
Lahemaa National Park
Expansive views of Estonia's first national park, featuring dense pine forests, bogs, and rocky coastal bays.
Sillamäe Cityscape
A unique look at the town's Neoclassical and Stalinist architecture descending in steps toward the Baltic Sea.
Narva-Jõesuu Beach
One of the longest sandy beaches in the Baltics, appearing as a thin golden strip against the deep blue water.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to avoid the southern glare or a sunset flight to see the Estonian limestone cliffs bathed in orange light. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up to catch the Peterhof Palace complex. On approach to Tallinn, this side provides a view of the southern suburbs and the TV Tower.

Kronstadt Naval Cathedral
The massive golden dome of the Naval Cathedral on Kotlin Island is a landmark seen early in the flight.
Gulf of Finland Shipping Lanes
An aerial perspective of one of the world's busiest maritime corridors with tankers and ferries visible.
Naissaar and Aegna Islands
Heavily forested islands near Tallinn that served as historic military outposts in the Baltic.
Tallinn Old Town Silhouette
On clear days and depending on the wind direction, you may see the spires of the medieval Old Town during descent.
Sit on the right if you prefer wide, open maritime vistas and a chance to see the islands guarding Tallinn Bay. This side is typically better for photography during midday flights as it faces north, away from the sun. Watch for the defensive structures and batteries on the northern islands during the final descent phase.
