Tallinn, Estonia

Things to do in Tallinn

Everything in the Atlas for Tallinn: places to see and things to do, in one list.

Toompea and the old town

One of the most complete medieval town cores in northern Europe, still walled, with the upper town of the nobility and the lower town of the merchants kept deliberately separate.

Quarter · 3 hours

Kumu Art Museum

Estonian art from the eighteenth century to now, including the Soviet decades presented without either nostalgia or dismissal — which is rarer than it should be.

Museum · 2–3 hours

Walk the wall, tower to tower

Two kilometres of it still stand; the sections you can climb give the roofline the postcards use.

Walk or hike · low

Bog shoes in Lahemaa

Snowshoe-like frames let you cross raised bog off the boardwalk — an hour from the capital and utterly silent.

Walk or hike · moderate

This page exists because Tallinn has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Tallinn.
