Tallinn, Group travel
Great place every time 😌 Exquisite food options, local breweries, thrifting, historical old town, things work well in general 🫶 Bolt is very affordable way to move around, as is the puböic transport too. Nightlife is lively!

Warm people, nice weather, interesting museums and sights. Safe place for solo travellers, especially women. Hostels are plenty and well-organized. Souvenirs are unique, and the sunset is not to be missed.

I traveled to Tallinn this january with my best friend for both of our birthdays. We went to amazing thrift stores but the thing that impressed me the most in Tallinn was the easy public transport. It was really simple to use and made our trip so relaxing.

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 one of the safest places you can visit. Just take normal precautions. Keep your belongings close, don’t go to sketchy dark streets alone, never leave your drink alone etc and you will be fine.

Tallinn is overall very safe! In quieter districts you can have evening and nighttime walks with a peace of mind. But be careful of drunk people near Balti jaam train station at night. Wouldn't reccommend wandering the streets of Lasnamäe at night either.

I’ve never felt unsafe in this city. Going running with my headphones in during the evening is not a problem. I’ve lived here for 10 years. Locals say Annelinn is the sketchiest part of town, but I have not had any bad experience.

I do sometimes get catcalled at night (never during the day) but it’s usually foreigners. Estonian men are very shy. Also there are mandatory security guards around pubs and police makes rounds so you there is always someone with authority around. :)
