• Nightlife boils in this quiet city and attracts youth from all over Europe.

• Tallinn has a great variety and number of restaurants serving the whole European cuisine.

• Good weather conditions. The mild winter, unfortunately, is not about Tallinn, but the temperatures are quite acceptable up to -10C, and there are frequent snowfalls.


Indigenous Estonians and tourists lovingly call the city center “mini-Prague”, although the size of the Tallinn city center is still noticeably larger. A tourist should start acquaintance with the city precisely from part of the old city, from the very historical center of Tallinn. Since it is cold to travel around the city on foot in winter, public transport is a great solution. Easy and fast buses running everywhere, and trams will take tourists to any desired point.

Very important advice to travelers! Get a Tallinn card. This card will allow not only free use of public transport, but also allow, also free of charge, to get to museums.
