Is Tallinn Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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 experience

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

Solo travel experience

Travel plan: I spent 2 days in Tallinn. Things to do: - Old Town (also known as Vanalinn) - this is the oldest part of Tallinn - St. Nicholas' Church (also known as Niguliste kirik) - Alexander Nevsky Cathedral - Kohtuotsa viewing platform - Kadriorg Art Museum - Lühikese jala värav Safety: I always felt very safe on the streets in the city centre. Accommodation: I had a wonderful stay at the Old Town Alur hostel, it was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly, and it's centrally located as well. Recommendations: Tallinn is a beautiful city. I would go back there again. The ferry crossing to Helsinki is also cool.

Solo travel experience

Travel plan: I spent 3 days in Tallinn. Things to do: - Old Town Market Square - St. Nicholas' Church and Museum - Danish King's Garden - St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral - Kiek in de Kök Safety: I felt quite safe. Budget: - Hostel: 9€/per night - Dinner: 10€ - Attractions: most are free Accommodation: I stayed at the Fat Margaret's hostel and it was a great hostel for its price, very spacious and clean rooms, towels and lockers available for free, good location. Recommendations: I absolutely love Tallinn and I would like to go back there someday, it was like a dream!

In my experience Tallinn is mostly a safe city. Definitely very safe and chill during the day, but to be extra sure, I wouldn’t go wondering around in certain sketchy looking neighborhoods in the dark.

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.

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.
