Is Tallinn Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

As 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.

Family travel

Tallinn 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!

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 have lived here for 15 years and haven't experienced any unpleasant or dangerous situations. Easily can walk alone, even in dark, also in public transport. There is a great street lightning as well. In general - need to be careful like everywhere else, but no reason to be scared or worried.

actually it’s really safe (for me). some crimes can happen here, but it’s not that often, so there’s nothing to be scared or worried about. i have never experienced sexual harassment or something similar. for it is safety to even go for a walk at night. there is police all day long patrolling around the whole city.
