Holiday In Tallinn

If you’re someone who loves mixing stripes with polka dots, orange juice with whisky, and other combinations, Tallinn is your spirit city.

As the capital of Estonia, this medieval city is a mix of modern life and Dracula style. Come see it for yourself—book your package to Tallinn and experience cobble stones, spiral towers and thumping night clubs.

Things to Do in Tallinn

Tallinn has been on the map since 1154—or five years younger than your music tastes (kidding)! When you’re on holiday in Tallinn, the first place you have to visit is Old Town. Here you’ll see the vestiges of a grand wall constructed from the 13th through 15th centuries. Today 26 towers are still standing, and you can see them all on a self-guided tour. And if you don’t feel like walking around the city after that, just look into one of lastminute.com.au’s Tallinn car hire options.

Love old spy movies? Channel your inner James Bond or Sydney Bristow when you visit Sokos Hotel Viru. During the Cold War, Russian spies bugged the entire hotel—including the china and ashtrays—to record conversations. Today, you can see the old spy gear in the mini museum inside the hotel. Makes your own accommodation seem so much cosier, doesn’t it?

Hey, remember that Peter the Great guy? He lived in Kadriorg Palace right here in Tallinn. Now the landmark has transformed into an art museum filled with eclectic pieces from the 16th and 18th century. Look for local art as well as masterpieces from Dutch, German and Italian painters.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Put on those walking shoes, because you have some major shopping to do during your Tallinn holiday. Old Town is the central hub of stores, with streets like Viru and Muurivahe hosting a myriad of places selling clothes, souvenirs and tea. The Solaris Shopping Centre is also an option, with a mall-size variety of stores and boutiques.

Ready for some Estonian cuisine? Most of the food in Tallinn has Danish influences, with dishes like elk sausage and wild boar. Foodies also love rye bread, apple soup and herring. But the real star of the show is dessert. You can’t consider it a holiday to Tallinn without some authentic pastries, which are usually made with savoury curd cheese.

A place filled with medieval castles must close up once the sun goes down, right? Nope! There are more bars and clubs scattered throughout the city than you’ll know what do with. But if you have to pick one, stick with Valli baar, a legendary joint with a ton of names carved into its banisters as a badges of honour. Bottoms up!
