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.

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
Posted: January 25, 2026Keep an eye open for pickpockets in the old town especially if it's crowded. Otherwise look out for your drinks in bars,but other than that I feel really safe. Take into account that it's getting dark early in winter, so if that's something you feel unwell with, maybe come and visit when the days get longer again. Reflectors are a must in winter. So have one with you.
