Tallinn in a nutshell

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia with a beautiful medieval centre, but also a modern cosmopolitan city where many start-ups are based.
In Tallinn you will discover great former industrial districts that are gradually transforming into vibrant areas full of cafes, bars and restaurants.
Visit Tallinn for at least 2 days, but you'll have fun for up to 4 days. The Estonian capital is ideally located to combine a trip with nearby Helsinki, which is often a 4 hour boat ride away, or Riga, Latvia, which is the fastest bus ride at 4.5 hours.
