Unfortunately most of them are not yet opened for public. But the situation is improving and every year some of them will be ready to be opened for visitors. At the moment the situation is the best in the island Hiiumaa where there three historical lighthouses (Kõpu, Tahkuna and Ristna) are officially open for visitors (from 1 May until 15 September). Kihnu lighthouse (on the small island of Kihnu) is also open from 1 June to 31 August for visitors. Hopefully some historical lighthouses nearby Tallinn (Suurupi front and rear lighthouses and Pakri lighthouse) will be opened during this summer. More detailed information regarding our lighthouses is available on the webpage of the Estonian Maritime Administration (www.vta.ee) and also on the webpage of the Estonian Lighthose Society (www.etts.ee). Before your trip to Estonia you may also contact the Department of the Aids to Navigation of the EMA (Department head: [email protected]) to get more information about the situation and possibilities to visit our lighthouses. Yours sincerely, Vaido Kraav Adviser of the EMA
