I spent three days in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia—a place where medieval charm meets modern innovation. From its storybook Old Town to buzzing cafés and digital culture, Tallinn surprised and inspired me. Here are my top recommendations for making the most of this beautiful, tech-savvy Baltic gem.
Things to Do in Tallinn
- Take a walking tour of Tallinn’s Old Town and step into a real-life fairy tale of spires, towers, and pastel-colored houses.
- Visit the Viking Village near Tallinn for a taste of medieval life, complete with costumes, axe throwing, and feasts.
- Wander through Kadriorg Palace, Peter the Great’s baroque masterpiece surrounded by serene gardens.
- Explore Rahva Raamat, one of Estonia’s oldest bookstores and a cozy stop for book lovers.
