Pro
Beautiful architecture, pedestrian friendly, relatively inexpensive
Con
Touristy, expensive in old town territory
In a nutshell
A wonderful travel destination if you are seeking something a little off the beaten path!
70 Reviews Without meaning to, I seem to have embarked on a mission to tick off the 'danse macabres' (Dance of Death) murals in European churches! The Danse Macabre is a powerful medieval symbol of the inevitability of death, which was particularly meaningful at a time when the continent was swept with wave...
42 Reviews One of my most abiding memories of all the Baltics is the high regard that they place on giving flowers. I am not sure what it is - maybe the result of being in a region which experiences such long and extreme winters? - but bringing flowers to friends and families seems to be a big thing. In...
7 Reviews and 200 Opinions The Radisson Blu Tallinn is one of the new and modern hotels in Tallinn. It is right in the city...
2 Reviews and 442 Opinions We paid 78€ per night for a double room without breakfast in early March 2011. For a 5 star boutique...
45 Reviews I have had a fair few medieval-themed meals in my time - usually for events such as conference banquets - and although I have usually enjoyed the atmosphere, I can't say that I have ever been particularly impressed by the food. But, all that changed at the Olde Hansa, probably Tallinn's best known...
11 Reviews We love crepes, and the place is famous so we must go here. Place looked like it wasn´t a "real reastaurant", more like some companys restaurant for their staff. Service was poor (you really didn´t feel wellcome) and when some American guys didn´t notice they should make the order at the bar desk...
8 Reviews My friend and I enjoyed an evening at Beer House during a visit to Tallinn in October 2005. This Bavarian/Austrian-style beer hall and restaurant is an excellent place for a few beers in the heart of Tallinn's Old Town, located just a few minutes walk from Town Hall Square (Raekoja Plats). The...
9 Reviews With the name "Hell Hunt" and a sign showing a naked woman riding a wolf, it looks and sounds like it might be a biker's bar, but in fact it's a trendy, bright and clean bar with a mixed, friendly, and sometimes boisterous crowd. The beer on offer is excellent, with a wide selection from all over...
23 Reviews During my Tallinn stay I made a day trip to visit my friend in Helsinki in Finland and see the city's sights. I don't remember how much it cost me for a round trip but further information including prices can be found on the website.
16 Reviews If you are a senior citizen, public transportation is free (trams and buses) in Tallinn. The driver won't tell you this, but the lady at the information desk in the Viru Center will. This is the terminal for many of the bus lines. He/she will also give you a free map of all the bus and tram routes...
11 Reviews Heaven is well designed baby and children store in De La Gardia mini shopping center near the old town gates towards to the city centre. The store occupies most of the third floor -- but as there is not enough tenants, the rest of the floor is empty. The selection of the store is laid out nicely...
14 Reviews They offer you affordable, warm and unique handmade knitwear. They make socks, mittens, gloves and scarfs to order. Have a look at the colors and patterns on this page. Custom color combinations and sizes can be ordered. Socks, scarfs, mittens About 15 euros per item
7 Reviews Estonian beer proved to be really good, even from the point of taste of a spoilt German tongue. I learned that the Purity Law we Germans are so proud of (beer may contain hop, malt, water and yeast, and no other ingredients) is also valid in Estonia. The two biggest brands are Saku and A. Le Coq....
7 Reviews Coffee is very popular in Tallinn and people like to have their coffee breaks. There are many nice cozy cafes in the old city, some of them trying to give you nice medieval atmosphere as well as serve the coffee accordingly.
7 Reviews Hello! I got quite worried when visiting Tallinn recently then I saw in the Old Town around street Viru group of young guys carrying another one on their hand to the car, the one carried was screeming. I hope it was just a friends game though... Jitka
6 Reviews If possible, ask a local Estonian to give you numbers to taxi companies that charge the local rates. I was shocked by the difference between what I was charged when I called for a cab on my own -- and what I was charged after a local Estonian called the cab company and negotiated the fare in advance...
3 Reviews Raekoja plats is the place to be if you want to grab a beer, relax and watch people pass by. Unfortunately, the pubowners have understood this, so they charge ridiculous amounts for drinks that elsewhere is cheap. So, if you can avoid it, do. If you still have to go here, try to ignore the prices...
4 Reviews Duty free on the Helsinki-Tallinn ferry so dont buy more than you can carry. Bring some decent shoes. You can get an excellent pair of boots for about €30-40 in Tallinn, that would normally cost about €65 in the British Isles.
9 Reviews My granddaughter went up into this park which was near the Viru Gate and took some photos of some of the statues there. It is a park in Tallinn City Center which has a statue dedicated to a famous Estonian writer Anton H. Tammsaare. The park was established in 1948 on a former bombsite, and was...
5 Reviews Traveling to Tallinn in winter you can feel that you want to do something but cold winter Tallinn doesnt offer activies... It is a reason to do a trip to place called Kohtla-Nomme to the Centre of winter sports. Mountain activities offered there are mountain skiing, snowtubing, snowboarding. The...
3 Reviews I was told that the A. Le Coq Arena is the home of the Estonian national football team (soccer in the States), but I did not visit there on my trip. They also have concerts there, including Aerosmith in July 2007. Since the arena is named after A. Le Coq beer (my favorite in Tallinn), it must be a...
18 Reviews Tallinn old town makes an impression as medieval city. Firstly, it is because its castle, defensive towers and walls around. Secondly, it is because some buildings left almost unchanged from medieval times. Third - all that planning of streets (they are narrow, labyrinth plan) and cobbled. Maybe...

Towers and tiles and spires and cobbles.
I'd wanted to visit Tallinn for quite a while. The early-morning budget flight from Stansted is a real pain for me to get to (it meant leaving home at 2.30am), so it's taken me some time to...
