Tallinn holidays

There are endless things that locals love to eat and drink, and alcohol is definitely a favourite beverage in Estonia. While shots of vodka will be served alongside most meals, everyone’s weak spot is still the classic sweet tastes. Estonia is known for chocolate, particularly if it’s sourced locally, so why not hunt for some chocolate from Tallinn and treat your taste buds? Whether you’re after it for yourself or if you want to take it home and gift it, finding locally made chocolate will be worth your time. Another dish – which doesn’t always look appetising – is sprats. The Baltic Sea is filled with tiny, oily sea fish otherwise known as sprats, and they prove very popular as an evening dinner dish. Served on dark bread, with boiled eggs and sauce, it sounds like a weird mixture, but it’s one of the favourite go-to dishes in Tallinn.

Pirita Promenade is a popular beach for the views rather than the seaside experience. It’s located next to a long stretch of pathway with a park metres away, making it one of the perfect spots in the city. It’s a favourite for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly because of the ability to look out into the city centre over the sea. Although it’s not where you’d go if you plan to swim in the sea, it’s the perfect spot for pictures. The beaches in Tallinn are quite small and are often just on the edge of the ocean, but it’s still good for tourists to come and visit. Stroomi Beach is popular with locals due to its family-friendly vibe. There are endless things to do on this beach, with ball courts, trampolines and outdoor cafes galore. It’s ideal for fun days out, a stroll along the seafront and picnics.

From the gorgeous views to the historical architecture, Tallinn is a gorgeous place to visit, and it’s worth taking in the sights and seeing as many landmarks as possible. The great thing about the city is that there’s culture, sun, and lots of bar crawls – it’s the ideal holiday.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral: If you’re looking for history and culture, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is the place for you. Tallinn is one of the only places that has kept its historical buildings in good condition, making it the ideal place for tourists. The building was created in 1894, before ultimately opening in 1900. Both the interior and exterior is beautiful, and thousands of tourists view it every year.

Go on a bar crawl: Going on a bar crawl is one of the most fun things you’ll do in Tallinn, and there are plenty to choose from. There are tours you can sign up to do which consist of a four-hour bar crawl giving you the ability to discover the nightlife. Most of the tours come with drinking games, so it’ll definitely be an experience you won’t want to miss.
