As a solo woman navigating Tallinn daily, I can genuinely say this city feels incredibly safe. Public transport is clean, well-lit, and free for residents but a tourist has to pay. Usually by the green card or Tallinn card but if you dont have neither, you can by by regular bank card or phone at the front reader of the bus. Walking alone at night? Done it countless times — no catcalls, no weird vibes, just peaceful streets (and sometimes a fox!). Crime rates are low, and street harassment is basically nonexistent. That said, like anywhere in the world, it’s smart to stay alert, especially in isolated or poorly lit areas. But overall? I’ve felt more seen and respected here than in many other European cities. 🌙 Pro tip: If you’re like me — curious, sensitive, independent — Tallinn gives you the space to explore without fear. Just trust your gut, stay aware, and enjoy the freedom 💫
Posted: July 19, 2025Tallin is a very safe city. Basically, everyone is minding their own business! They wouldn’t bother you or talk to you if they don’t know you. Even at night I never had trouble. Even when no one is in the streets you feel very safe

Tallinn is a safe country and it is super safe to walk even in the middle of the night without the fear of being mopped or attacked. As a foreigner, I haven’t had any bad experience to consider the city or country unsafe

Tallinn is a great safe town but always better to have someone by your side. Sometimes people can judge you by the way you look but mostly Estonians mind their own business. Being an alternative person myself I've experienced some unpleasant looks or comments but I'm used to it since I'm local.
Posted: June 8, 2025As a woman living alone,Tallinn is very safe. I can go for runs or walk home alone even at night without feeling uneasy. Public transportation is reliable, clean, and safe. The city is compact, calm, and well lit, and people generally mind their own business.
Posted: May 20, 2025As someone who goes to school in Tallinn and hangs around there very often, I can say Tallinn is a very safe place. I personally have never experienced anything serious when using the public transportation or walking the streets at night. Of course you have to be a little cautious, just like in any other place but overall, not much to worry about

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.
Posted: July 20, 2025Tallinn was incredible! It is a small (at least the old town) mediaeval town absolutely gorgeous. We went there with a group of friends and spent 2 lovely days visiting. The city felt very safe (but I was never alone). I would really recommend doing a walking tour (we did the free tour called Tales of Reval which I really recommend). And for food we really liked Pulla bakery and Rataskaevu 16.
