Tallinn

Estonia

A UNESCO Old Town, Baltic coast, and Europe's best-kept secret.

Tallinn is massively underrated and I'll keep saying it until people listen. The medieval Old Town is UNESCO-listed, the Rotermanni Quarter has incredible cafes, and Airbnbs cost €35/night. I went to the same cafe in Rotermanni Kvartal 3-4 times because that's how you actually know a place. Pirita beach, Kadriorg Park, the nightlife — this city has everything.

Observations
01

The Rotermanni Kvartal has the best cafe scene. I went to the same spot 3-4 times and enjoyed it every time.

02

Tallinn's Old Town meets and exceeds expectations. The history is fascinating and the nightlife is vibrant.

03

Pirita Beach and the promenade are perfect for morning walks. Kadriorg Park is another favorite.

04

Take the ferry to Helsinki — the ships are massive and surprisingly comfortable. It's a great day trip.
