KNOW MORE ABOUT TALLINN BEFORE VISIT:
Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia and a perfect holiday destination if you want to combine the comforts of the modern world, versatile nightlife, and luxurious adventures with a rich cultural scene in the local historical setting.
First established in the early medieval era, today’s Tallinn is an exciting mix of old and new. Here’s the good news: with Tallinn being such a compact, green capital, you can cover a lot in just a weekend and enjoy short scenic strolls while at it.
Tallinn Old Town is one of the best-preserved Hanseatic town centers in the world. A stone’s throw away you’ll find the city’s business centre with modern towers and luxurious hotels, trendy neighborhoods, and large shopping centers.
The coastal vibe
Tallinn’s luring coastline dotted with promenades and sandy beaches is especially rewarding during the summer but offers scenic views of the iconic cityscape throughout the year.
Easy to access
Tallinn is the first point of entry to Estonia for most visitors, and if you’re the kind of person who likes to jump right in, then you’re in luck, as Tallinn city center is never more than a 15-minutes drive away regardless of if you happen to arrive by plane, train, coach or ferry.
How to enjoy winter like a local in Tallinn
Time to get out and enjoy the winter in true Estonian style! If you have never seen snow or wonder how Estonians make it through the coldest season of the year, stop all you are doing and keep reading. Enjoying the great outdoors is a way of life in Estonia, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the secret of enjoying winter like the locals is to do a lot (a lot-lot) of winter sports.
Tallinn with kids
The city offers plenty of opportunities for a fun and active family holiday – from adventure, water, and snow parks to play centres and fascinating museums. Most museums in Tallinn are large and spacious. There are rarely any queues and you do not need to book your visit in advance. Take your time to enjoy the exhibition while easily keeping a safe distance from other visitors. The maritime centre Seaplane Harbour offers activities for those seeking action – try firing a torpedo or hitting flying targets! Tour the original Lembit submarine and see many other life-size exhibits. There is also an exciting outdoor playground for younger children.
Despite the boom of 21st-century development, Tallinn safeguards the fairy-tale charms of its Unesco-listed Old Town – one of Europe’s most complete walled cities. Some examples of exuberant post-Soviet development aside, the city clearly realizes it's better to be classy than brassy. Hence the blossoming of first-rate restaurants, atmospheric hotels, and a well-oiled tourist machine makes visiting a breeze.
For boutiques and souvenirs, your best choice is Viru street in the Old Town and its side streets. There are many stalls selling traditional items like woolen pullovers, crystal, and amber. Be prepared to bargain in order to get a reasonable price. Please note, however, that bargaining is only accepted at some places. Even though Baltic amber and Russian matryoshka dolls are widely available in souvenir boutiques, neither are in any way related to Estonia or its culture and are sold in Estonian souvenir boutiques mainly because they sell well among tourists.
