What Travelers Say About Tallinn

Tallinn has one of the best-preserved medieval Old Towns in Europe — UNESCO-listed, with 13th–15th century town walls, towers, and merchant houses still intact. The city's digital innovation (it was the birthplace of Skype; Estonia is the world's first 'digital nation') combines with this extraordinary medieval heritage to create a uniquely compelling destination.

Common Scams in Tallinn

Old Town Restaurant Tourist Pricinglow

Restaurants directly on Town Hall Square and the main Old Town tourist routes charge 3–4x the prices of equally good restaurants one block away. Walk 2 minutes off the tourist path (to Telliskivi or nearby streets) for dramatically better value. Always check the menu outside before entering.
