Is Tallinn safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

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.

Group travel

Tallinn was incredible! It is a small (at least the old town) mediaeval town absolutely gorgeous. We went there with a group of friends and spent 2 lovely days visiting. The city felt very safe (but I was never alone). I would really recommend doing a walking tour (we did the free tour called Tales of Reval which I really recommend). And for food we really liked Pulla bakery and Rataskaevu 16.

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!

I have never experienced any crime in 3 years. It's a very safe city even at night. Strangers rarely start a conversation unless the seek for help, but noone ever insulted me or anyone I know in the city.

Tallinn is generally one of the safest places I've been to. There are definitely some regions to stay away from at night - like the train station or Lasnamäe, but even there I'd say the danger level is quite low

As a solo woman navigating Tallinn daily, I can genuinely say this city feels incredibly safe. Public transport is clean, well-lit, and free for residents but a tourist has to pay. Usually by the green card or Tallinn card but if you dont have neither, you can by by regular bank card or phone at the front reader of the bus. Walking alone at night? Done it countless times — no catcalls, no weird vibes, just peaceful streets (and sometimes a fox!). Crime rates are low, and street harassment is basically nonexistent. That said, like anywhere in the world, it’s smart to stay alert, especially in isolated or poorly lit areas. But overall? I’ve felt more seen and respected here than in many other European cities. 🌙 Pro tip: If you’re like me — curious, sensitive, independent — Tallinn gives you the space to explore without fear. Just trust your gut, stay aware, and enjoy the freedom 💫

Tallin is a very safe city. Basically, everyone is minding their own business! They wouldn’t bother you or talk to you if they don’t know you. Even at night I never had trouble. Even when no one is in the streets you feel very safe

Tallinn is a safe country and it is super safe to walk even in the middle of the night without the fear of being mopped or attacked. As a foreigner, I haven’t had any bad experience to consider the city or country unsafe
