Haapsalu’s colourful former train station, with its wooden lace ornamentation and grand colonnade, was opened in 1907 to transport the Russian nobility to the spa resort. Designed to keep the royals dry, its 214m-long covered platform was then said to be the longest in the Russian empire. This boxcar-sized museum records the golden years of train travel and there are old locomotives to explore nearby. In summer, a road train runs between here and the Old Town (€2).
