Tallinn is a safe city. Like in any other country, theres some crime, but personally haven’t had any problems in 21 years. People are nice, country is really beautiful and crime rate kind of low. Safe Place to live and visit

Tallinn is a really safe city. Even at night im not too worried about walking around the city. Especially the center of town. Or where i live. Some neighbourhoods are not so great but still relatively safe. Estonians usually keep to themselves.

Tallinn is the safest city I’ve been visited and lived in. In my 6 years there I never experienced cat calling even! The people are all very respectful and calm. You almost never see or hear about crimes, to the point where they fill in the news media outlets with news about the wild life.

Estonia is in general super safe, very low crime levels. Just be careful walking in the old town at night cause you might find some drunk people, but if it happens and you contact the police they will immediately intervene. Lived in Tallinn for 3 years and luckily I’ve never had an issue, it’s the only city I’ve ever lived when I can walk home alone at 4am.

Tallinn is pretty safe, even for women. Honestly nothing to be scared of here, especially if you stay close to the city center. Almost no homeless people, pretty loyal to law and in general people mind their business, trying not to get into your safe space.

Tallinns is one of the safest places I have ever been. Kids go to school by themselves when they reach 7 years old - the best example I could give to show how safe is the place. Some neighbourhoods might have some alcoholic addicted men who might say or harass you but it’s not the rule here. There are very few of them and not in the central area.

I feel Tallinn is a very safe city to live in. Especially the central area and Kalamaja, Northern Tallinn and Pelgulinn. I don’t worry much when walking alone late in the evening. I reccomend the city to female solo travelers.

I can say that Tallinn is very safe, and you can walk on the streets late at night comfortably. In fact, I've spent time on the beach until morning with my girlfriends, often being out late and feeling safe.

Is Tallinn worth visiting?

Group travel

I feel safe because I travelled for work and were with my colleagues. It kinda reminded my hometown, it was nice. Havent seen any red flags, prices are normal as in Baltic countries prices. I would suggest to try their national candies - Kalev!

Overall, I felt really safe in Tallinn. I would recommand going to Pirita Beach, visit the old town and take a bus to go into one of the bog around Tallinn if you are there in summer. The bog I would recommand is the Viru Bog, one hour away from Tallinn but really worth it! I would also suggest to go to the Kalev Coffee shop, in the old town. It is the oldest one is the city and it's really good!
