So many cozy places, beautiful town, loads to do and see. Buy the Tallinn-card: im usually sceptical about this 'all-around'-cards, but this one was GREAT and really value for the money! Recommend the bicycle-welcome-tour: you'll see lots of places you otherwise wouldn't see.....more So many cozy places, beautiful town, loads to do and see.

Recommend the bicycle-welcome-tour: you'll see lots of places you otherwise wouldn't see.. KUMU was also nice, if you enjoy contemporary art.. in Old Town just take your time, walk around and discover your own special cafes, benches and cute streets.. ENJOY!close

I love all of the Baltic countries and Tallinn was no exeption. A great town square, lovely pastel coloured buildings, great bars with cheap beer and good food, good shopping and loads of lovely old buildings. It's the kind of city where you can just walk the old town all day and have the best time doing so.close

Though we visited when the weather was a bit colder, it was gorgeous and I loved wandering the streets. Out 2 days stop turned into 8 days. Leaving the city also was quite beautiful and interesting. There are some historical spots and geological sites to see... I would go back there anyday. The hostel itself was full of life and it made the town visit even better.close

Beautiful old town but even more interesting to an Australian is the contrast between old town, new high rises and the delapitated suburbia...the history including the recent history of this place is amazing. Estonians went out of their way to be friendly and helpful to yet another group of...more Beautiful old town but even more interesting to an Australian is the contrast between old town, new high rises and the delapitated suburbia...the history including the recent history of this place is amazing. Estonians went out of their way to be friendly and helpful to yet another group of English only speaking tourists, we caught lots of local transport in and out of town and its a great way to get to know the place a bit.close

If you read about Tallinn in a guide book it will look like there is not much to do. Its true there is less than in other cities but for what Tallinn lacks in exciting things to do it makes up for in its beauty. The town is very relaxed and the people are wonderful.

Its true there is less than in other cities but for what Tallinn lacks in exciting things to do it makes up for in its beauty. The town is very relaxed and the people are wonderful. Take some time and really absorb the city. Its a wonderful place.close

It's so neat this city, when you've learned it a bit. Take a tram and just keep going, it'll get back where you started sooner or later, the all go in circles. Just watch out for late nights, there can be some dangerous people who want your money. And I suppose Tallinn would'nt be Tallinn if...more It's so neat this city, when you've learned it a bit. Take a tram and just keep going, it'll get back where you started sooner or later, the all go in circles. Just watch out for late nights, there can be some dangerous people who want your money. And I suppose Tallinn would'nt be Tallinn if there wasn't a lot of girls who wants the same thing. With a lot softer treatment though.close

I have stayed with friend from Tallin before, and the town could be very nice if its off season, and there are lots of theaters and cultural events all year around.close

When we woke up we thought we'd travelled back a few centuries. The whole town centre was an explosion of colours, smells and flavours from the medieval times. People dressed up offering wonderful caramelized almonds and medieval tortures museum open to freak you out. Tallin plus plus!close
