Admire Tallinn's Gabled Houses

A feast for the eyes and a must-see in Estonia, the Old Town of Tallinn will carry you away with UNESCO-listed architecture and ancient tales down every cobbled lane.

Lake in Lahemaa National Park in Estonia

Visit Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

You can't miss the huge and beautiful Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in the Old Town of Tallinn. It was built during the reign of the Russian Empire and you can see the gold-plated domes and incredible mosaics. You might even get to hear the powerful church bells ringing. With 11 bells including one that weighs 15,000 kilograms, it makes quite an incredible sound!

A picturesque street in Tallin Old Town, Estonia

See the 15th-century Luhike Jalg Gate

Lühike Jalg (Short Leg Street) is a narrow cobbled street that leads through the Old Town. You can walk through the square-shaped gate tower at the top of Lühike Jalg and catch some gorgeous views over the city, but keep watch for ghosts! The street is thought to be haunted, with reported sightings of a monk and a floating woman in a medieval dress. Spooky!

Enter Tallin's Old Town Through Viru Gate

The towers of Viru Gate are centuries-old and you'll feel the history as you walk through the gate to the most buzzing street in the Old Town. We marvelled at the ancient buildings and shopped 'til we dropped at the fantastic markets. At the end of the day, it was great to kick back with a coffee in the alfresco restaurants lining the strip. It's the perfect place for a spot of people watching!

You can even have afternoon tea & pastries in one the 18th-century Manors before discovering the treasures of this park.

Explore Bohemian Quarter & Seaplane Harbour

This quiet little neighbourhood is eye-catching for its colourful wooden buildings. Throughout most of Tallinn’s history, Kalamaja served as the town’s main fishing harbour that has since turned into its Bohemian Quarter. It’s a must-see destination for anyone interested in architecture & history. Then visit 'Seaplane Harbour', where Charles Lindbergh landed after his first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN ESTONIA

Estonian food is some of the best in the Baltics and we’ll show you where to find all the delicious soups, stews and seafood.

Rosolje

If you like your food hot pink, you’ll love rosolje, Estonia’s beloved potato salad. It’s made from bite-sized cubes of Estonian beetroot and potatoes, tossed with smoke herring, hard-boiled eggs and pickles in a creamy, tangy dressing. This fine fuschia salad has never escaped anyone’s notice, so get in quick before it's gobbled up.

Kiluvõileib

Estonia sits right on the Baltic sea, so there’s no coincidence that seafood is found in nearly every restaurant. One of the most popular kinds of fish is sprats and Estonians love to eat sprats in a sandwich. The recipe is simple - marinated sprat, boiled egg, onions, herbs and sauce between dark rye bread - but it’s absolutely delicious.

Vana Tallinn Liqueur

You can’t visit Estonia without tasting the famous Vana Tallinn liqueur. This rum-based beverage was first created in 1962 and the recipe has been kept a secret all these years. You can try different flavourings like cinnamon, vanilla and citrus, but be warned, the strongest version has a whopping 50% alcohol volume.
