Is Tallinn Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I feel safe because I travelled for work and were with my colleagues. It kinda reminded my hometown, it was nice. Havent seen any red flags, prices are normal as in Baltic countries prices. I would suggest to try their national candies - Kalev!

Solo travel

Overall, I felt really safe in Tallinn. I would recommand going to Pirita Beach, visit the old town and take a bus to go into one of the bog around Tallinn if you are there in summer. The bog I would recommand is the Viru Bog, one hour away from Tallinn but really worth it! I would also suggest to go to the Kalev Coffee shop, in the old town. It is the oldest one is the city and it's really good!

We visited Tallinn during the independance day in February. It was an interesting and fascinating experience. The weather was unfortunately not the best but we were still able to visit the main parts of the city. Tallinn is a great City with a lot to visit. The old town as well as the beaches (in summer) are really great!

My experience in Tallinn! I went with my best friend and we absolutely loved it. It was like a fairytale We felt very safe even at night we could both go for a wander around alone and not feel scared it was so inviting. The only thing we thought was bad was there wasn't much English at bus stops or trams so that took us a while to figure out how to pay but other than that amazing experience, a few times one of us would drop our hat or gloves and a local would make sure we got it even if they couldn't communicate it was really nice. I really want to go back there during a warmer month!!

When we arrive to Tallin, it was nighttime. Me and two of my friends could walk through the street at 11 p.m. It makes us feel safe. It was really freezing outside. We went first of march. You need clothes that keep you warm. Also, I tried a few traditional dishes but i am not sure if they’re nice or overrated. People are not hospitable and smile faced. It was a frustrating situating for me. Moreover, I love the castle and the viewing point of the city.

Tallinn was perfect But I highly recommend going there in warm weather because in February the place was so cold. I like the atmosphere a lot!!! Especially old town was vivid and there were a lot of good cafes and restaurants.

Solo travel

Hey! I was on my business trip in Tallinn and first I was with my colleagues but I stayed there for extra 4 days and was absolutely alone. I visited some museums and parks, it was nice. I really loved the exhibition at Fotografiska. Since I was single at that time I met one guy on tinder, he was really nice, my danish friend organised a meeting with his danish friend and one Italian just came to me when I was going on a stroll so I was not that lonely anymore. I felt quite safe there. In general, I have pretty good impressions of that trip

Solo travel

Beautiful city - very underrated! I felt so safe exploring on my own and stayed in a really budget friendly hostel in the city centre called Viru Backpackers Hostel! Definitely head up to the viewpoint overlooking the city, I went in February and it began snowing which made it even more beautiful

I fell in love with this city. I stayed in the unique Kalamaja district, in one of the local wooden houses (Kalamaja means "fish house", its roots are in the fishing district, but today it's rather hipster and artistic). The museums in the city center are quite nice, but you can quickly explore them. I recommend visiting the NUKU museum, which presents dolls and puppets from the local puppet theatre. A place that presents really good works of art is Fotografiska, where you can also find delicious cinnamon buns. It is worth going to the Kalamaja Museum, which was created by the local community and preserves their stories. Be sure to go to the sea, even towards Linnahall. These beaches are raw and extraordinary.

Family travel

Tallinn is the perfect city for travellers who don‘t like the big mega cities but still want to get to explore a lot. Tallinns beautiful old city is perfect to just stroll around and explore every tiny street. Still you have to beware to not get into a travel time, where all the big ships arrive and the cruise tourists roll over the city. Public transport is quit easy to understand, just the ticketing is not that easy, as most estonians don‘t have to pay for public transport. I really recommend checking out the lauluväljak - the plac where every 4 years the big singers festival talke place. From this to the bext point: estonian History is really interisting and totally worth looking into. You will learn a lot about crusade trips, first and second world war as well as the long time estonia was submerged into the soviet union. Totally recommend checking Tallinn and also the rest pf Estonia out!

Estonia is in general super safe, very low crime levels. Just be careful walking in the old town at night cause you might find some drunk people, but if it happens and you contact the police they will immediately intervene. Lived in Tallinn for 3 years and luckily I’ve never had an issue, it’s the only city I’ve ever lived when I can walk home alone at 4am.

Tallinn is pretty safe, even for women. Honestly nothing to be scared of here, especially if you stay close to the city center. Almost no homeless people, pretty loyal to law and in general people mind their business, trying not to get into your safe space.
