Why visit Tallinn
Medieval Old Town
The Tallinn Old Town may be a museum, but walking its narrow alleyways will make you believe in fairy tales again.

Best time to visit Tallinn
Tallinn is magical all year round, and you will appreciate both its summer sunshine and snowy rooftops in winter. Christmas time in Tallinn is really special, and you’ll have a great time witnessing a 600-year old tradition of the Christmas tree being mounted in the city square. There is also the month-long Christmas market.
Summer falls between June and July, and with temperatures in the low 20s, it is a great time to go sightseeing in the city. The only problem is that it gets really busy and overcrowded with tourists; and with peak season prices on flights and accommodation it might not be the best time to visit.

Whoever said that fairy tales are not true has never been to the beautiful city of Tallinn. This capital of Estonia has everything that makes a wonderful stay there – medieval old-city beauty, great food, peaceful Baltic Sea beaches and welcoming residents. Also, the nice thing about Tallinn is that almost everything is in walking distance, so you can really take your time to explore this lovely city.
Everyone that visits the Tallinn Old Town walks away in love and vows to return one day. With its castle-like feel, you will wander the cobblestoned pavements and narrow alleyways in pure amazement. Though it is a museum with no residents living in the town, it is very well preserved and if you imagine hard enough, you will find yourself in Medieval Europe with horses, a carriage and some magic in the air!

The people and society at large in Tallinn are very friendly, safe and welcoming of visitors. There have been almost no reports of crime towards tourists in the city so there is no need to worry about safety. It is, however, always important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings.
It is always important to have your vaccines up to date when you are travelling. When visiting Tallinn, it is strongly recommended to get a vaccination for hepatitis A as there is a slight chance that the food and water may be contaminated, regardless of where you will be eating. It is also a good idea to get a shot for hepatitis B, and then rabies too if you plan to spend some time doing adventurous activities or interacting with animals.
