Q: Is registration required for the tours?
A: The festival offers both registered and non-registered tours. Registered tours are marked accordingly, with a button leading to the registration page. For tours that are not marked as registered, there are live queue tours available at the specified start times.
Q: Which tours require registration?
A: The easiest way to find registered tours is by using the “Registration” filter on our program page, located below the map.
Q: How can one register for the tours?
A: On each building’s page that requires registration, a registration button will appear to the right, above the map. Clicking this button will take you to the registration platform. Please note that not all tours have the same registration platform. Only use the designated registration methods; other forms of registration (email, social media, etc.) are not accepted.
Q: When can registration for registered tours begin?
A: Registration for the tours opens one month before the event at 18:00 through the Fienta system (if the event dates are October 11–12, then registration opens on September 11 at 18:00). Registration applies only to those sites that are marked accordingly.
Q: Are the tours free?
A: Yes, our tours are free, but in 2025 indoor orienteering will be subject to a fee if you register later than October 6.
Q: What happens if a tour group is full?
A: Since we enforce group size limitations for each tour, we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to increase your chances of joining the desired tour. If a group is full, we ask you to wait for the next tour time.
Q: Is it allowed to bring children on the tours?
A: All age groups are welcome on our tours, and the earlier we can spark an interest in architecture for younger individuals, the better. However, when touring with children, please keep an eye on them to ensure they stay on the tour route, as it may not be safe to wander off at some locations.
Q: Will the event be recorded (filmed, photographed, etc.)?
A: Yes, there will be photographers and videographers at our public event who will be capturing the event, and you may appear in the footage. Please note that by attending the event, you agree that the event will be recorded, and the material may be used for marketing purposes in the future.
Q: Can I support the event in some way?
A: Yes, you can contribute to the development of the event so that we can offer more and better architectural experiences. During the event, you can respond to a quick survey via a QR code or link, and after the festival to a longer feedback survey. In addition, it is also possible to make a donation to support the festival. Since the Estonian Centre for Architecture NGO is included in the list of organizations with income tax incentives, you may receive a tax benefit for your donation.
