About
Haapsalu’s Railway and Communications Museum (Raudtee- ja sidemuuseum) preserves more than 150 years of Estonian and Soviet rail history in a station once constructed for the arrival of Tsar Nicholas II. Built with him in mind, The Haapsalu station is complete with an elaborate 216-meter wooden covered platform and imperial waiting rooms. Its long wooden passenger pavilion, was closed to traffic in the 1990s but remains a remarkable relic of the country’s railway past.
With full exterior access to the trains, rail station, grounds, and outbuildings the museum is a great way to spend a few hours.

The former train station now serves as Haapsalu’s bus terminal, as no trains run to the town today. Regular buses connect Haapsalu with Tallinn, and from the museum it’s an easy walk along the waterfront into the historic center.
