Tallinn, Solo travel
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.

The medieval atmosphere in Tallinn is amazing. It has so many hidden spots and a vibrant nightlife. It is also very safe. The inner city is well-lit, and most people are quiet and calm. They keep to themselves and will not bother you with anything.

Viljandi
Viljandi is a safe small city in Estonia. Here aren't much records of crimes or stealing. In winter it can be slippery and also for the cars so that could be not safe but it is manageable. After all Viljandi is so small here almost everyone knows someone you know so its safe:)

Small village. Overall very safe. Need to be aware of the roads and speeding only. There are a lot of tourists in the summer season, so you have to be a little more careful, because there are also rude partygoers on the move. But nothing criminal. In autumn and winter it is quiet and peaceful. There are no street lights on our street. So you have to use your own flashlight.

Keep an eye open for pickpockets in the old town especially if it's crowded. Otherwise look out for your drinks in bars,but other than that I feel really safe. Take into account that it's getting dark early in winter, so if that's something you feel unwell with, maybe come and visit when the days get longer again. Reflectors are a must in winter. So have one with you.

I have never experienced any crime in 3 years. It's a very safe city even at night. Strangers rarely start a conversation unless the seek for help, but noone ever insulted me or anyone I know in the city.

I have been in parties and walked home during night time. Locals are very friendly. Sometimes there are annoying drunk men, but they have never been aggressive or harmful towards me. Daytime city is very safe. No scammers. A lot of tourists in the center. Never been pickpocketed or robbed. None of my friends either.
