Is Tallinn Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Tallinn

As 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.

As 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

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.

Group travel

Tallinn 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.

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.
