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 a Winter Wonderland and that was actually my first thought when I first landed there. I stayed for 3 months in Tallinn and I had no other choice than to actually fall deeply in love with the city and the country in general! I would love to return and relive everything again and again. For me, everything was dreamy and I am very grateful for the people I met during my stay and for everything in general!

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.

Tallinn is overall very safe. Maybe in Lasnamäe there are more Russians that mean more temperament, but if ur not looking for trouble, i’m not sure ur gonna get it. Overall everything has changed to being safer.

Tallinn is a relatively safe city, for example you can leave your stuff at your table at a restaurant and use the bathroom, and it will be the most natural thing to do - to not worry about somebody taking it. When you lose an item, it is more common for you to go back to that same place and see it placed on some table or given to some nearby shopkeeper than for it to be gone completely.

usually it is pretty safe! never had anything happened to me in my 24 years of living here. there might be drunk people getting onto you but you can ignore and leave them fast. still better be careful in general because you never know even in the safest city.

In my opinion, Tallinn stands out as one of the safest cities in Europe—a place where you can move around with ease and peace of mind, whether you’re exploring its old streets by day or enjoying the calm atmosphere at night

I am a Brazilian living in Tallinn 🇪🇪 Surviving the dark northern days here definitely taught me to appreciate the sun a lot more ☀️ I enjoy traveling, journaling, slow mornings, long walks, skincare, and movies. Lately, I’ve found myself really enjoying cooking, and I’ve also learned about the good side of ice swimming and sauna in Estonia. I am always open to good conversations and new perspectives, let’s connect! Danu 😊

Hi! I’m an architect from Ukraine, currently living in Tallinn, Estonia. I love exploring both cities and nature, always keeping an eye out for beautiful design, thoughtful spaces, and small details that tell stories. Traveling for me is a way to connect — with places, with people, with new ideas. I’m open, curious, and always up for a good chat or spontaneous adventure.

Hey!! I’m a Brazilian living in Estonia who loves so many things (yoga, volleyball, climbing) but currently without much time to practice any of them 🥹 Me, my husband and my 3 yo son moved to Tallinn 2 years ago and we are finally settled in this beautiful place :) however, my new apartment is unfortunately not very convenient to accept guests but I’d be more than happy to meet for a coffee/beer or give local advice. I used to do Couchsurfing many years ago across the places I’ve lived and visit - both hosting and staying. Always loved this sort of connection
