Tallinn, Couple travel
I traveled to Tallinn this january with my best friend for both of our birthdays. We went to amazing thrift stores but the thing that impressed me the most in Tallinn was the easy public transport. It was really simple to use and made our trip so relaxing.

I did like to visit the capital of Estonia but it is very expensive for me and since it's expensive there it took down the experience for me. But overall it is a great city and would recommend visiting

Tallinn is a Winter Wonderland and that was actually my first thought when I first landed there. I stayed for 3 months in Tallinn and I had no other choice than to actually fall deeply in love with the city and the country in general! I would love to return and relive everything again and again. For me, everything was dreamy and I am very grateful for the people I met during my stay and for everything in general!

I have visited Estonia many times but this was first time I spend there two nights in a hotel with my two little daughters and my parents. We stayed in the lovely Vihula Country Club. It was a brilliant manor with beatiful yard. I felt very safe there.

Tallinn
Tallinn is one of the safest places you can visit. Just take normal precautions. Keep your belongings close, don’t go to sketchy dark streets alone, never leave your drink alone etc and you will be fine.

Tallinn is overall very safe! In quieter districts you can have evening and nighttime walks with a peace of mind. But be careful of drunk people near Balti jaam train station at night. Wouldn't reccommend wandering the streets of Lasnamäe at night either.

I’ve never felt unsafe in this city. Going running with my headphones in during the evening is not a problem. I’ve lived here for 10 years. Locals say Annelinn is the sketchiest part of town, but I have not had any bad experience.

I do sometimes get catcalled at night (never during the day) but it’s usually foreigners. Estonian men are very shy. Also there are mandatory security guards around pubs and police makes rounds so you there is always someone with authority around. :)

About me
Hey!! I’m a Brazilian living in Estonia who loves so many things (yoga, volleyball, climbing) but currently without much time to practice any of them 🥹 Me, my husband and my 3 yo son moved to Tallinn 2 years ago and we are finally settled in this beautiful place :) however, my new apartment is unfortunately not very convenient to accept guests but I’d be more than happy to meet for a coffee/beer or give local advice. I used to do Couchsurfing many years ago across the places I’ve lived and visit - both hosting and staying. Always loved this sort of connection
