Is Tallinn safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

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!

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.

Keep 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.

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
