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.
Posted: May 12, 2025Experienced: March, 2025I visited the city for Folk Music Festival and it was amazing experience! Many people attended it and everyone was friendly and helpful. Local people created welcoming atmosphere for my stay and overall no problems occurred. The city is inexpensive and compact, so it’s easy to get to any place if not on foot, but with a bike for sure.
Posted: April 25, 2025Overall, it is a very beautiful country. I visited Tallinn. It had both a modern and an ancient side. The Old Town is impressive. There are many fast food places, so I didn't have any problems with food. Since I was there for a short time, I couldn't explore the local restaurants much. But I plan to go again.
Posted: April 6, 2025As 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.
Posted: March 14, 2025I felt very safe there. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Although some people didn’t understand Estonian and had to talk Russian. But overall people spoke Estonian and probably could have spoken English if needed. Really recommend walking in the town. It’s so pretty and magical. Also really recommend Sillamäe museums. Really interesting if you’re interested in history.
Posted: February 8, 2025Tallinn 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!

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.
