The ruins of the temple of Birgitta are striking in their size. Once here, I usually think: if the preserved ruins are so monumental, then what did the monastery look like 500 years ago, during its heyday? The remains of the Birgitta monastery are located in a picturesque place: the sea, the forest and the Pirita river are nearby, which together creates ideal conditions for relaxation (the main thing is that the weather does not let you down). Right outside the fence of the old monastery is the new monastery, it is located in a beautiful building of modern architecture. By the way, the nuns of the Order of St. Birgitta who live here also maintain a guest house where anyone can stay. The address and photos of this "guesthouse" can be easily found on the Internet. The cost of entering the territory of the ruined church of St. Birgitta depends on the season.
In winter it is usually free, in summer it is paid - 2 euros (discounts for pensioners and students), and in early spring and late autumn the ruins are closed to the public. Tip: if you come here in the warm season, but you don’t feel like wandering around the ruins, I recommend renting a boat (12 euros / hour) or an antediluvian water bike (10 euros / hour) at the boat station located nearby and take a look monastery from the side of the river, which flows in the immediate vicinity of the ruins. Yes! And don't forget to grab bread to feed the ducks - there are a lot of them here and they are arrogant! : ) You can get to Pirita and Birgitta Monastery from the center of Tallinn by buses 1A, 8.34A, 38. Go to the Pirita stop.
