Is Tallinn Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Tallinn

I have lived here for 15 years and haven't experienced any unpleasant or dangerous situations. Easily can walk alone, even in dark, also in public transport. There is a great street lightning as well. In general - need to be careful like everywhere else, but no reason to be scared or worried.

actually it’s really safe (for me). some crimes can happen here, but it’s not that often, so there’s nothing to be scared or worried about. i have never experienced sexual harassment or something similar. for it is safety to even go for a walk at night. there is police all day long patrolling around the whole city.

I feel overall safe. But ofcourse you shouldnt walk on dark alleys alone at night. There isnt a lot of crime, but we eo have a little leaa safer areas, where its recommended to be more alert of your surroundings

Crime rate is considerably low. Havent felt unsafe a single time while being out partying or walking. Police is always patrolling in the streets at night time and any inconviences are dealt with quickly.

I would say it IS safe Of course common sense is somethig to use always :) Certain districts are different, but i would say it is much safer than what I have read about Barcelona thiefs, foe example. I homestly have no clue what to say and how to rate it

Very safe city! No worries walking around when it’s dark and public transport was good Haven’t witnessed any crime or harrassment there so not worried myself about that. No catcallers or people making me uncomfortable personally

Tallinn is overall very safe. There is some kind of sketchy places like Lasnamäe because there are lot of Russians and drunk / homeless people. There are lot of drugging in clubs so watch your drinks but overall safe.

It’s safe here most people just stay away from you since no one really liked tourists. You can still ask for help if you need anything. Most people are respectful and don’t come close or try to talk if you don’t want to talk with them

Its really safe even walking around at night time. I have never had a negative experience in here. Lots of people know English so its easy to get help. Just around all town maybe being careful about your bag can make sense but still I never heard any steals from people. Don’t worry just try to have fun!

Tallinn is generally a safe city, but we do have drunks, especially during the weekend, and they enjoy spending time in certain places. When you know to avoid those areas, you won’t even meet them. But even the drunks will generally leave you be and won’t bother you. Streets are well lit and people are actually very helpful once you approach them and ask for directions. As a woman one always has to be aware of their surroundings of course, but Tallinn is a safe city to explore without much hustle.

Solo travel

As a single trip at first I didn’t feel so safe, but when talking to people and asking everyone agreed that the capital of Estonia-Tallin is a fairly safe city. The historical center is a really great place, and you can easily find it and see all of the interesting places in 1,5 day… I expend just 7-8 hours there because I had to take a fly from Tallin to another place.

Family travel

Tallinn was a very nice city! My family and I went over the holidays and it is a beautiful city. The old center is quite touristy and a bit more expensive than the rest of the city. But overall really worth it! I wouldn’t recommend staying for too long as it’s relatively small, three days should be enough!
