Situated on Estonia’s northern coast across the Gulf of Finland, Tallinn has always been a strategic hub for the country. After gaining its independence from Russia in 1991 the city quickly became a popular destination for visitors from Helsinki and Stockholm. In recent years, many tourists (many of them on their stag and hen weekends) have booked flights to Tallinn, giving it rave reviews for its beauty and affordability.
Renowned as one of the best preserved cities in the world, Tallinn’s medieval Old Town acquired a much-deserved Unesco status in 1997. The ancient stone arches delicately outline its cobbled streets, red-tile roofed houses and gothic churches. Wander through the Dominican Monastery, once a base for Scandinavian monks, and home to Estonia’s largest collection of stone medieval carvings.
Walk a mile east of Old Town to Kadriorg Palace and Garden where cyclists, walkers and sun worshippers all congregate amid the horse chestnut and aromatic lilac trees. After a full day of exploring the city head to a sauna on the 26th floor of the Hotel Olumpia; soak your tired limbs in the plunge pool and look out at the magical city that has won you over.
Summers in Tallinn are fairly warm and temperatures of 30 degrees C are not unknown. Winters are cold and the spring and autumn months are mild, if a bit rainy. July’s average temperature is 17 degrees C while February’s is a chilly -4 degrees C.
Tallinn’s bus, tram, trolley and train lines run from 6am to 11pm between the city centre and the outer city limits. Save yourself some money and buy your ticket from a newsstand before boarding. Fares are more expensive when you buy tickets from the driver.
The main airport for flights to Tallinn is Lennujaam International Airport (TLL), which is located 2.5 miles (4 km) from the city. Visitors have several options to get to the city’s centre from the airport, including bus, taxi and car rental.
Tallinn Airport’s official name is Lennart Meri Tallinn International. It’s the largest airport in Estonia, serving more than 1.3 million international and domestic passengers every year. Although it’s small, it has a reputation for being efficient and modern, with all the diversions you could want, ranging from sushi restaurants to free Wi-Fi.
Direct flights to Tallinn Airport are available from a few major airports, including London, Prague, Frankfurt, Oslo and Copenhagen. Other destinations are available seasonally, such as Barcelona, Paris, Madrid and Corfu. Connections in Estonia are rare, so most people who fly to Tallinn are there to enjoy the Old Town, or experience the beauty of the Baltic Coast and Estonian countryside.
