Things to Do in Tallinn
Plan your days in Tallinn, your way
Tallinn gives a first-timer the ideal sampler. One morning in the Old Town, up Toompea Hill for the view over red roofs to the sea.
Down to Town Hall Square for coffee and people-watching under gothic gables. Lunch at Balti Jaam market, something local, something unfamiliar, both cheap.
An afternoon wandering Kalamaja, pastel wooden houses and small galleries at your own pace. The seaside promenade at Pirita catches the late light if the weather agrees.
Dinner at Rataskaevu 16, friendly room, honest Estonian cooking, book ahead. One evening drink on a Telliskivi terrace to feel the city's younger pulse.
Nothing extreme, everything good. Tallinn meets an open mind exactly halfway.
