The 49 best places to go out in Tallinn

It’s a nice park, pretty big in total, even if it’s cut up by a road. A few playgrounds for kids, but they looked a bit worn down. The real downside is that they’ve really kept down the number of trees. They’re very sparsely planted, so you almost always see the surrounding city. Never any sense of being in a small forest. Also not a lot of variety overall. It mostly looks the same across the whole park. Except for a small area where there’s a Japanese inspired garden. I’ve for sure seen nicer parks, but this one is fine for a stroll. Not too crowded, even on a nice Sunday afternoon.

A beautiful park in the city center, accessible by tram No. 1. A place to enjoy the scenic views, relax, enjoy the beauty of nature, and gain peace of mind.

Beautiful park and easily reachable with public transportation. It has really nice walkable paths and hosts several museums. It's a must for a several days itinerary in Tallinn. With gloomy weather this park gives Irish/Scottish vibes.

Nice park with well maintained gardens behind the palace art museum. Lots of museums scattered through the park as well! There was a cafe and a few (pay-to-use) bathrooms as well.

Very nice and spacious park area with both Kadriorg castle and the presidential residence. Ran into the president himself by chance. Great place for a run

**"Kadriorg Palace and its gardens are an absolute gem in Tallinn. The palace itself is stunning – a beautiful example of baroque architecture, with elegant halls and ornate details that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Inside, the art collection is well-curated and offers a great glimpse into Estonia’s cultural heritage. The gardens are just as impressive. Perfectly landscaped, with colorful flower beds, fountains, and tree-lined paths, they are a peaceful escape from the city bustle. I visited in summer, and everything was in full bloom – it felt like walking through a living painting. Even if you’re not into art, a stroll through the gardens alone is worth the visit. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy a coffee in the nearby café, and simply soak in the beauty. Definitely a must-see when in Tallinn

Kadriorg Park in Tallinn was created in 1718 by Russian Tsar Peter the Great as a summer residence for his wife, Catherine I – its name means “Catherine’s Valley.” The park was designed in Baroque style by Italian architect Niccolò Michetti, featuring symmetrical paths, colorful flowerbeds, fountains, and the Swan Pond. Today, it remains one of Tallinn’s most beautiful green spaces, home to the Kadriorg Palace, Kumu Art Museum, and even a Japanese Garden, blending history, art, and nature in perfect harmony.

Be aware!!! For €19 per person you get a lift to 21st floor - where you can buy other “experiences” like silly pictures or VR whilst sitting on the chair. There apparently is some history exhibitions but it was unfortunately closed on the day of our visit and nobody bothered to tell us beforehand. Still full price ticket. They are showing “art” of a lunatic and you can buy an espresso for €3.50 at 22 floor. So for €19 you are taking a lift to see dirty carpet, dirty toilets and not working floor windows (except 1) - absolutely pathetic. Now I know why they do not accept ICOM cards - they would have to be ashamed for what they are actually selling. Absolute SCAM - as those places are everywhere in the world free - when you are having a restaurant or cafe in the top where you can spend your money ((

Very big disappointment! So many things are wrong about this place. When you buy a single full admission ticket online it’s 18 euros, same ticket on the spot will be 19 - cashier didn’t give heads up about it while selling the tickets. There’s almost no exhibition, really just several photos and fun facts, all looked old and used, and seemed that designed for children, not adults. There’s a small exhibition on the 2nd floor, also auditorium, then on the floor 21 there’s 360 degrees observation spot (not impressive, same old and used) and on the floor 22 - restaurant and small part of the open terrace where you can walk behind the wire fence. Overall, really overpriced place, and I cannot understand why do many positive reviews… We do not recommend it!

The TV Tower offered good views and a simple layout for exploring the upper levels. The outlook across the city was impressive and worth the trip, but the experience itself felt limited. Beyond the observation deck, there was not much in terms of interaction or engaging features, and it could easily be developed further to make it more memorable. Staff were polite and efficient, and the tower was well maintained, though the overall visit felt short. It was worth seeing once for the view, yet the tower itself could make more of its space and history to improve the experience.

The Tallinn TV Tower is a very interesting and modern place to visit. The highlight is the edge walk — you can even take photos sitting on the edge, which is such a unique experience! Our guide Annika made the tour really fun with her great explanations about Tallinn. Definitely worth it!

The Tallinn TV Tower is an absolute must-visit! The views from the top are breathtaking – you can see the whole city, the coastline, and even far into the distance on a clear day. The exhibition is very well designed and gives you a fascinating insight into Estonia’s history and the tower’s role. The glass floor sections add a fun thrill, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A perfect mix of culture, history, and adventure – highly recommended!

Got a combined family ticket for botanical gardens and tv tower - 39 euro. Not expensive and nice way to spend a relaxed afternoon

The price was decent for the attraction. Staff were friendly. There are different attractions at the tower but still found the tower uneventful. However, the views from the tower are spectacular. So much green everywhere. Really highlights the beauty of Tallinn.

If you want a great view of the cit, pay the 8 € fee and climb the stairs. It is a narrow, winding staircase that takes you up about 250 steps to get a view of the city from about 60 meters above street level. The same staircase is used for going up and down so sometime you have to step aside to allow people to squeeze past you.

Great view of the Tallin city. 360degree Free entrance to the church Tower ticket 8 euro In the 1500s, (if i am not wrong)It used to be the tallest building in the world, ship use the church as a preference guide. Therefore, the thunder hit the church quite some times. It was burn and rebuild several times. Very worth of climbing up for a good view of the harbor and the city itself.

Impressive church inside but it's all about the view from the tower for me! It's a narrow staircase to the top, I didn't have to pass anyone but I'd imagine it's awkward, there are a couple of seats half way up should you need a rest, but the view is very much worth the trek upwards

I visited St. Olaf's Church during a day of sightseeing in Tallinn. I paid 8 Euros for admission to the tower. It's quite a hike, and to be completely honest, I found the top a little scary (it's quite safe though) in the moment. You can buy a ticket there, and the church can process card payments for the tickets, but if you want something from the giftshop, you'll need cash. Beautiful views!

The entrance for the St. Olaf’s Church is free unless you want to climb to the tower which is supposed to provide you with an amazing view of the city. We preferred not to climb to the tower of St. Olaf’s church due to it’s stairs and due to the fact that St. Nicholas church has an elevator going up to its tower which is really close to St. Olaf’s. The interior of the church has a gothic style and the walls are mostly empty. The most striking thing about the church is how high it is.

A tough climb but so worth it. The stuff (in the ticket booth) was so kind and friendly. The 270 stairs are medieval and as such very hard to climb, even though there is a resting place half way with 4 chairs. But if you have enough will power, it won’t be a problem. Up stairs, it’s not for the faint of heart as the platform is narrow, high up and very “solid”. It’s probably the best view of the city, and I’ve climbed most of the towers there!

Everybody has her or his favourite attraction in the old town of Tallinn. For me, it's St. Olav's Church. The church itself isn't maybe the most beautiful church in Tallinn, but what makes it special, is the possibility to climb up to the tower where there is an observation deck. You can see there all around old and modern Tallinn. The entrance to the tower is 8 euro and it's a heavy trip to clamber to the observation deck but absolutely worth of it, especially if you don't get a heart attack by climbing there up.

We were there on Friday. The food and cocktails were good, but there were no entrance checks, and the lack of security seemed odd for such a venue. Later that night, people started entering with plastic bottles of drinks. The decor was magnificent, and you were confused about which way to look.

Such an amazing concept and location! Super stylish interior, down to the last detail. Very cool mix of lounge, restaurant and cocktail bar, fancy but nothing extreme. Food and cocktails are amazing and the price is really fair for such a nice place. Service was more than excellent, from the host who's seating you, to the service staff who was so friendly and made you feel welcome. Would probably recommend making a reservation beforehand (especially for groups).

Very cool interior and atmosphere! Great service. Food is good, but nothing mind-blowing.

A fabulous restaurant with great food, amazing cocktails, friendly staff, and a good music selection playing. We had the Tenderloin Steak, and the accompanying cherry sauce was a unique twist we had never experienced before and was lovely. It is an absolutely beautiful place inside and out. If we ever return to Tallinn, we will be sure to return here again.

Came for a 7pm dinner on Saturday evening. The restaurant is very large but only 5-6 other tables were occupied so it felt a bit odd. We were seated at a high table right at the back on the side which wasn’t too fun. The restaurant was completely out of beer which was unfortunate as that was what we felt like. Service was ok - found it hard to get the attention of our waitress even though there were many staff working. Most seemed only interested in making cocktails or just standing around. Would not go back sorry.

Excellent place to drink or eat! The staff has been absolutely great, the location is easy to reach and see and the interior is a real work of art, period! Food quality is very nice, good quantity, pricing is reasonable and in line with the area - maybe a little less than the overcrowded touristic places around! Definitely, definitely, definitely worth a visit!

Atmosphere is incredible! Loved it a lot! Food was even better than atmosphere. Totally recommend to try Gourmet Platter. That's definitely that rare moment when it's not only delicious but also interesting. Thank you so much!

An excellent place to visit. The old buildings are well preserved. It spread across a huge area so be ready to walk and be ready to spend a lot of time. It's little far away from the old city and downtown. Bus connectivity could be availed on weekdays. But during weekends it's better to book a cab since public transport runs on a reduced interval. There is a nice cafe in the middle of the museum. Serves delicious cake and coffee

This is a good 7km walk amongst the forest filled with original Estonian buildings from the 1800s, inc some windmills, farms, fisherman cottages & more… Definitely worth a visit! They also had an original Soviet building complex set up to show the changes through the years, which was very interesting.

A really good and quite large open air museum, showcasing Estonian rural buildings from all corners of the country. Definitely worth visiting! In october many of the buildings were closed (maybe 1/3 were open), so you could only see them from the outside - still managed to spend over three hours here. So take your time and enjoy - beside the houses, the whole area is nice. There are animals grazing etc. And the historical cafe/restaurant is really lovely - it is a roadside tavern from 19th century! Takes about 30 minutes to come with the public bus from city centre.

1 | A beautiful open-air museum located right by the sea. The area is fairly large and contains rural buildings from the 18th to 20th centuries, brought here from different parts of Estonia. As a visitor, you get a very good idea of how people of various professions used to live, cook, and work. It’s a great weekend destination for families with children. 2 | The open-air museum includes rural houses, animal enclosures, windmills, a café, a souvenir shop, and other buildings. I especially liked the playground — Estonians are really good at shaping public spaces and working with wood. 3 | The summer season runs from April 23 to September 28, and the winter season from September 29 to April 22. A regular ticket in the summer season costs €18, and in the winter season €14. A family ticket costs €38 in summer and €30 in winter. For an additional fee, you can ride a horse or rent a cart or a bicycle. 4 | If you plan to visit the museum outside the main season, I recommend checking in advance which buildings are open. Some of them may be closed. 5 | There is a parking lot right in front of the museum (free for visitors), or you can arrive by bus. The journey from the city center takes about 30 minutes. 6 | The museum is very well maintained. All buildings are restored and accompanied by information boards. We explored the museum quite thoroughly and spent about an hour and a half there.

Great place to wander around, giving a great insight of how people in Estonia lived in the past. The little tavern served delicious homemade cinnamon rolls and other delicacies.

Enjoyable location for the family. My kids (8,5,1) really enjoyed themselves. Cost €28 to enter during the winter. Some things were locked, but we still had plenty to explore. I would imagine this being a brilliant place to visit when there is snow!

The Estonian Open Air Museum offers a remarkably comprehensive overview of rural life across different historical periods, and the kolkhoz complex constitutes one of its most intellectually stimulating sections. Far from being limited to architectural reconstruction, this part of the museum provides a nuanced interpretation of the Soviet-era collective farming system and its social implications. The exhibits successfully illustrate the tension between collectivist ideals and the realities of everyday rural existence, highlighting the profound transformations that shaped Estonian society in the mid-20th century. The museum as a whole is vast and diverse, but the kolkhoz area stands out for the depth of its historical narration and the subtlety of its museographic design.

If you want a nice overview of Estonian art, definitely worth visiting. Additionally the building/architecture is incredible. Surprised not to see more visitors here. Staff was friendly and respectful.

Superb galleries with so much beautiful art. We could have stayed much longer. This place has an incredible collection and very well presented - we learnt a lot about Estonia from the descriptions too.

Must visit if you are in Tallinn and enjoy art. The building is amazing and the collection is very comprehensive. A great way to understand Estonian history through the different artistic eras.

The Estonian Art Museum is located in an extremely interesting building in the middle of a beautiful park. Its art exhibition is split among 3 levels with level 5 currently being in renovations. Level 3 hosts incredible and stunning art pieces including the heads of multiple known people and their voice in a choir. Level 4 also hosted nice paintings however the last part of the exhibition was utterly horrifying. It included absolutely disgraceful, disgusting and unsettling displays of humans running around naked. As well as other terrifying displays which make you feel sick (black liquid coming out of a mouth of a human etc). It was gore and uncomfortable for a normal human being. I been to many modern art displays before and nothing ever compared to what I have seen there. I do not recommend bring children to the last part as it will leave them with scars for life.

It is big, beautiful. The art from old times is especially beautiful. You can put Your stuff/backbag in the free compartment boxes and then have free hands to enjoy art.

Totally loved this museum. The architecture, the art and the Estonian history were all very interesting and super impressive

The museum has multiple floors but one of the floors was completely closed off which we wanted to see. It was the floor dedicated to the contemporary art. Overall a great visit.

We enjoyed a few hours strolling through the Creative District with up eat sounds of music from venues, cafes, eateries, and exhibits. The street art including wall murals and 3D displays show the works of many native and local artists. The Photograpy Museum offers a great museum with relaxing coffee shop, gift shops with ingenious photo gifts. The central area offers an outdoor free exhibit of framed modern works. We enjoyed a wine and end-of-day 50% off sale on some gluten free options, including a chocolate gluten free cake. Enjoy strolling, snacking. and appreciating art. Accessible venue.

A cool place, very instagramable. Parking is close and cheap. Plenty of little shops to walk around once you've seen the art outside. Great coffee and bakerys inside too.

Nice place to see creative and colourful murals. You can walk around There are free parks available for kids as well. There is a photography museum also near by.

Everyone kept telling me go here so I walked there from the old town. Pleasant spacious area with street art and lots of al fresco eating and drinking options.

If you are a graffiti fan this is worth a visit, I was there really early in the morning so not sure how any cafes/bars/businesses are.

What a great place! Very creative, a lot of interesting street arts, bistros and pubs. Best part of Tallinn!

Very cool area to hangout and enjoy crazy but artistic creations. Nice restaurants to try.

pudel – estonia’s first craft beer bar a one-of-a-kind experience unlike anything else in tallinn or estonia since 2013, pudel has served some of the finest craft beers from around the world - many of them unique and appearing in estonia for the very first time🤩☝️ small-batch brews from world-renowned breweries stand alongside distinctive creations from local estonian brewers ‼️the bar also offers estonia’s first (and only) cask ale it’s more than just beer - it’s great vibes, music, quiz nights, sports screenings and a welcoming atmosphere✨ you are free to bring your own food and most importantly - it is dog friendly too!🐶

Nice pub situated at the hip area called Teleskivi, inside an old industrial warehouse with high ceilings. Plants are placed here and there with the glow of the odd red neon light giving this place a warm feel to help relax and prepare you for some nice beers and social conversation. They have a vast collection of drinks to choose from too. However I'm not a beer snob, so I usually go for the main house beer on tap and if it proves pleasing I'll stick to it. This time it was called Anderson's and it went down well. I will need to return some day to get a regular view as there was an important football tournament on tv this time (Euros on the big screen!). But on this occasion it was a nice place to spend an hour or two.

it was a nice and cozy bar, very lively and friendly environment. The pricings was not super cheap nor expensive. The overall experience was really nice.

Nice bar with a good selection of drinks. They are not worried about food and focused on drinks. Food you can find in nearby places or order a delivery.

We really liked this bar, they had many craft beers on tap. Service at the bar was quite fast on a Friday night even though it was very busy. Good vibes. Very stylish interior.

Lovely place with a great DJ on the night we visited (10.8)

Beer lovers rejoice, Pudel serves a fantastic selection of craft beers in the heart of Telliskivi. Open late. Trendy but without pretense, so you'll meet the in crowd here. Would definitely recommend any night of the week.

Absolutely stunning building! You can see it from most places in old town, but it's lovely to go inside too. They don't let you take photos inside though just a heads up, but it's still worth visiting.

This cathedral is beautiful to look at from the outside. You can also get a very nice view from the Kiek in de Kök museum. The cathedral is of typical Russian style. Entrance is free.

The beautiful cathedral is certainly worth a visit. Its exterior is quite lovely, and entry is complimentary. While the interior may not be grand or expansive, it is still worth taking a moment to appreciate.

This church stands amid centuries of various leaders wanted to tear it down. The most recent was 29th century when the government did not have the money to do do. The church has several candle stations to various saints. Beautiful design.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of Tallinn’s most striking landmarks and a true masterpiece of Russian Revival architecture. The ornate domes, detailed mosaics, and peaceful interior make it a breathtaking stop while exploring Toompea Hill. Even if you’re not religious, it’s worth visiting for the history, craftsmanship, and quiet sense of reverence inside. A must-see for anyone visiting Tallinn’s Old Town!

This is a beautiful Russian Orthodox church. The architecture of this building is amazing. While the inside is not allowed to be photographed, the beauty of the outside more than allows us to enjoy this place.

Wow! A must see in Tallinn. Very beautiful cathedral. It doesn't take long to see it and it is definitely worth your time.

I give 5 stars for the atmosphere and the team members there are in the character of a middle age tavern. I tried the cabbage pastry, it's amazing, some other customers loved the elk soup, but I found it a bit salty, overall still 5 stars for the experience. If you are not too keen on the food, I guess you can just order a beer to soak in the atmosphere.

Tucked away in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town, III Draagon is a truly unique dining experience that takes you back to the Middle Ages. The moment you step inside, you’re transported into a medieval tavern — dimly lit rooms, rustic wooden tables, and servers dressed in authentic medieval costumes. The atmosphere feels both cozy and mysterious, as if you’ve stepped into a different century. The restaurant offers a small but memorable menu. One of the highlights is their bone soup, a rich and flavorful broth filled with lentils, carrots, and pieces of bone marrow. It’s not only delicious but also fun to eat — or rather, drink — since it’s served in a clay bowl without a spoon, so you sip it directly, just like in the old days. The portion is generous, and for just 5 euros, it’s an excellent value. To accompany your meal, you can enjoy a pint of beer for 7 euros, along with freshly baked bread. There are two cozy rooms inside, each with 4–5 tables, and four outdoor tables that can seat around 20 people. The ambiance is peaceful, especially in the evening when the lights are low. The tavern also provides separate restrooms for men and women; they’re free for guests, but there’s a small fee (€1) for outsiders. Payments can be made in cash or by card. Overall, III Draagon is a must-visit for tourists seeking an authentic and entertaining medieval experience in Tallinn. It’s not just a meal — it’s a journey through time.

The restaurant is small, decorated in a nice medieval style, in the main square of the town. You must know that entering the restaurant you are going to roleplay a tiny bit of medieval life, being in a tavern after a long trip on your horse. The lady plays a very good role, speaks perfect english, and feels like she is a maid of another era, kudos to her. The ox rib is amazing: soft meat on a big bone. If you love meat, take that and it will be enough as a meal. The ambiet is really nice: dim lights with real candles. You can even catch your own pickle from a barrel by stabbing it with a wooden stick, pretty fun! Whoever does not understand the roleplay should not post bad reviews. The waitress is not rude, she is playing a role, and very fun to talk with if you roleplay back! The medieval style is all around the city, many other vendors dress like old fashion times.

Amazing, authentic place – right in the heart of the old town! Everything is arranged in such an original way – the dishes, the waitresses, everything! The food is delicious, and you eat without any cutlery! You even have to bring your dishes back yourself. A really fun part – you get to fish out your own pickled cucumber from a barrel! In short, 10 out of 10 for the experience!

We visited III Draakon while exploring Tallinn’s Old Town and it honestly felt like stepping back in time. The little tavern is cosy and atmospheric with flickering candles, wooden mugs and staff dressed in medieval style. We ordered the famous elk soup which was hearty and full of flavour, just perfect for a cool day. We also tried the Ox sausages and the Ox rib steak and both were delicious. Since I do not eat pork I asked about the ingredients and the staff kindly checked everything for me to make sure it was suitable. Their attentiveness really made me feel welcome. Overall it was a memorable stop with authentic Estonian flavours at a very reasonable price. I would recommend III Draakon to anyone visiting Tallinn who wants to try something traditional in a unique setting.

Paid €20 for a small bowl of pickled veggies and minced meat that had clearly been pre-packed and just squeezed into the bowl after ordering. I'm definitely paying for the medieval vibes here rather than the food itself 🤣

Location: convenient location right inside the town hall, in the old town of Tallinn. Inside the medical decor is very detailed and lets the eye go around and get lost in time. I personally appreciated details such as the pickles being in a big barrel as part of the scenery. Menu: slightly confusing menu when ordering (maybe due to the lack of English everywhere). You order at the counter and the staff is very happy to suggest. We had the wild boar with cabbage, pig tail (very recommended), the deer pie and the dark beer. Service: the staff at the counter was very in character, making you feel you stepped into a medieval age tavern. For the complete experience, remember to ask for a coke. Other than that there is not really a service and you have to bring your own food to the table and bring back the cutlery at the end (but this is part of the experience) Cost: the boat with cabbage was a bit pricey considered the portion provided, the rest we felt was correctly priced considering the location and the experience overall.

After a long day of driving, we ended up here for a beer and some dinner. The atmosphere is great, and I love all the eclectic items on the wall and placed around the room. Especially love the animals carrying beer in a old wagon when you went to the front door. The service was slow and a little cold, but not horrible. The food was pretty good and I highly recommend you try their darker beer.

We joined an evening with live music and the place was lively! The beer is good, and the menu has options for any taste! We went with the duck leg and a local dish and enjoyed it a lot! The decorum reminded us of Bavarian pubs but with a Nordic twist.

Food is amazing. Service is really good. Price is very reasonable considering it's in the old town. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

the wait was a bit long, but definetely worth it. good beer and starters - and the ribs were amazing. the atmosphere inside was cool and funny, the outdoor seating isn't bad either - located in a quiet side street. staff have been welcoming, recommend

Beer house in Tallinn, great establishment. The atmosphere reminds me on my hometown Munich, Bavaria. The kitchen is German, or Bavarian better said. The quality is great and due to only a few customers at noon during the week, we didn't need to wait so long for our meals which were prepared fresh.

What a lovely and vibrant atmosphere at the same time maintaining decency that families can have fun. Love music increases your appetite for food and drinks 😊

Nice place. Atmosphere great. During day time it's empty so you can enjoy faster service and food. Food tasted nice. Good ingredients. Not much options on the menu. Goulash a bit salty to my taste but tasty. Garlic beard is crispy and garlicy. Must try.

Nice place with a great atmosphere. They have their own beers on tap and they were great. I had a couple lagars and my wife had a couple IPAs. Both were exceptional. We just had snacks... so we didn't have the full menu experience... but the garlic sticks and the pork dumplings were both great! The service was was quick and friendly. We really enjoyed this place. You should give it a try.

The oldest Pub in Tallinn - since 1993. Not the cosiest atmosphere, many tables in basically one big room, without any nooks and crannies. Food is ok for a regular Pub - the portions are on the small side, but quality and taste are good. The house beer, on the other hand, is quite remarkable. I had the dark type, which could be compared to Guinness - although I find it a bit more tasty.

Once of the best Guinness pints you can get in the city. Staff is really nice and the food is surprisingly good. If you have some spare time, do yourself a favor and come here. You're welcome.

Visited Hell Hunt in Tallinn and was very impressed. The service was outstanding – it took only a few seconds after my beer was empty before I was asked if I wanted a refill. The staff were friendly, attentive, and created a very welcoming atmosphere. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the great selection of both drinks and food. The menu offered something for everyone, and the quality was excellent. Highly recommended for a relaxed evening with good food, great drinks, and top-notch service.

Old school but fun beer bar that's well worth a look. Good house beers complimented by three taps from local craft breweries and a substantial bottle list. Feels like more of a winter place, as it's got a dark German beer hall sort of vibe!

Been there for quick bites and refreshments. Not bad, not bad at all. Food ok, prices good, beer cold and friendly staff. Do recommend

Can't really say much about food as we didn't have any dishes - but the atmosphere and flair within the bar was pretty inviting. Their beer is good, but nothing to write home about and the service is professional, though nothing overly spectacular. All in all probably worth a visit, but there are better options available within a few hundred meters.

A cool place with a rustic atmosphere, plenty of seating area both inside and outside. We went there for dinner and were able to get a table without reservations, (although it might not be like this on weekends). The pizzas from their pizza menu were really tasty and when i asked to remove something from mine, they were open to customisation :).

Fantastic food spot in Tallinn. First of all, the staff and the place deserve alone 5 stars. The lady that welcomed us managed to find us a table for 2 even if they were pretty full and the guy serving us was really friendly and helpful. About the place, it has an incredible urban vibe. From what I read, it was an old factory that is now transformed in this place. Really great vibe and great music too. In the 15 minutes wait for our table, we ordered the mint mocktail that was surprisingly really tasty. The food choices are really interesting. Originally we wanted to take one portion of dumplings and one of loaded fried but then, looking at the pizza menu, we ordered also a beetroot, green onions and goat cheese pizza. Generally we don't really like beetroot, but the flavour here was subtle and enjoyable. The pizza choices in general were really unique and loaded with toppings, making it also a nice value for money. About the taste, it was all really nice, just everything slightly salty, but not too much to ruin the taste. F-Hoone is absolutely suggested for a dinner out and try their pizza, they're tasty and with interesting toppings.

Visit to F-Hoone, Telliskivi tn 60a, 10412 Tallinn. The place is located in the Telliskivi area, known for its art and creative atmosphere. We managed to get one of the few tables that wasn’t occupied or reserved. My choice was easy – Pizza Nduja with extra chili. My son chose the smashed burger with sweet potato fries. Both the pizza and the burger were good, and the service was fast and friendly. A small minus for the poorly cut pizza. What wasn’t good, however, was the toilet – the door needed a lock.

Loved this artsy local cafe which had an eclectic menu, extensive drinks offering and beautiful terrace to enjoy the beautiful weather. Inside is large and has performance areas for music. Definitely recommend the loaded fries and the dumplings in mushroom cream sauce.

Excellent food and cool surroundings. Pretty decent service as well (went for an early lunch and it was fairly quiet). They have a decent beer and drinks selection and my wife enjoyed the virgin cocktails a lot.

Very cozy and original atmosphere, lots of tables but still feels intimate. The soup was tasty (a bit spicy), and I really liked the cauliflower. A very strange choice in the men’s restroom – open toilets.

Food is delicious! It was fairly busy when we dined here, but service was still friendly and we didn't feel rushed. We were seated on a nice covered patio. We had some local beers and loaded fries for starters, the fries had lots of flavor and sauce. For our main course we had the crispy chicken on Belgian waffle, it was a perfect blend of salty and sweet! 👌

Top floor is not great, kind of gimmicky, and has a bunch of relics and imitations of relics that are irrelevant to Estonian history or not related to the plaque they’re under. It tries to answer why Estonia didn’t become a monarchy, but then features a throne where you can take tourist pictures as a king and queen…? I will say however that there is one very worthwhile thing on the top floor and that is the video that auto plays in the first room. Very educational and well done. Underground exhibit is much better and feels like an entirely different museum. There’s also weird sound effects and music that start playing when you enter the restrooms. That being said, if you’re in Tallinn, it’s still worth visiting the museum.

The Hansa exhibition was my main interest and I must say, the standard of curation was exceptionally good; both academic and with creative interactive games for children. The exhibition flowed well and my dream to be a little bit as good as for Rīga! Not as massive as Lübek, which is a permanent dedicated museum, but has to be said, a gem! Well done!!!

Interesting, but much more a set of modern exhibits versus a visit to renovated historic building. Various exhibits have different stations and all have English explanations. You can also get an audio guide. There’s a little something for everyone, but I don’t think you need to see it all to enjoy the experience.

I really loved the museum, it was definitely one of my highlights during my trip to Tallinn. It was a good decision to start with it to get an overview over the history of Tallinn (also since the City Museum was closed). The exhibition about the Old Hansa was phenomenal. I learnt so much about Estonian history and how it has been occupied for centuries. The exhibition was very informative and still humourous. Even better that the museum is in this historical building.

If you get the Tallin card, it's worth stopping by here. However, I wouldn't have paid for it separately. The exhibits were cool and the building itself is stunning, but there are many better more interactive museums in Tallin

Really interesting museum in a superbly restored historical building. Across multiple floors, many fine and unique artifacts are on display here, including findings from the Viking and pre-Christian ages, hidden treasures, and tombs of ancient Estonian wealthy and mighty people ,-) However, it's worth noting that for just a few days, it was possible to observe ancient artifacts confiscated in 2018 at the Russian-Estonian border. After restoration, they are now expected to return to Ukraine.

Very beautiful museum. If you want to know more about the history of Estonia, its people and culture, this is the best place Great experience to go through every section of this lovely museum.

Fun place, couches, low ceiling, creative decor. Quite limited selection of cocktails Friendly staff Delicious chocolate cake!

A secret speak easy bar hidden above the souvenir shop with some window/balcony seats that has a nice view of the steaat and bars below. If you enjoy just watching people stroll by and enjoying a drink this is a fun place to visit. The drinks we had (2 different wines and 2 ciders) were of okay quality but nothing special. Price vs. quality isn't the best if that's what you're after.

Nice and cozy place with a cool “balcony”. Cocktails were good both alcoholic and non-alcoholic one. Waitress was nice and didn’t kick us out even when we ran out of cocktails. It was raining outside, so was even more enjoyable to be partially outside but safe from getting wet.

Can't beat the ambiance. Drinks were a little sweet for me, but that's not my preference- I'd get a wine or beer next time. Definitely worth it for the atmosphere!

JACKPOT!! Utter surprise to stumble on this place hidden atop a souvenir shop in Old Town. Chill vibe. Cozy. Intimate. Spectacular cocktails. Made my entry into Tallinn and unexpected delight.

Stayed for drinks and to watch the Eurovision final. Amazing drinks (can be customized) and cozy lighting. Good music while also being able to hold a conversation without raising your voice. Hidden gem.

This is a cool cocktail bar to come to. You walk through a shop and then up some stairs to get to the bar. The atmosphere is cool and the decor is funky and cool. The cocktails are good too. My friend ordered a cocktail not on the menu and the staff were happy to make it. Would recommend this place if you want nice cocktails. If you can then try get seat next to open air windows and then you can watch the world go by and see the nice views of the town.

A cozy and enjoyable place to spend time – whether you're catching up with friends, relaxing with a book, or just taking a break. Warm atmosphere, inviting design, and a perfect spot to unwind.

Honestly the best bar in Tallinn. Prices are good and the staff is super duper nice. And the quality of the drinks. Unrivalled. Recommend to any local or tourist. Just don't cause trouble. The security might as well be the second coming of Chuck Norris. 11/10

Usually quite busy. Nice that there are different ages together having fun. Music equipment needs an update, especially for karaoke nights. All together good fun, worth going to.

This italian place was a great stop for a few drinks. The owner is super chill and nice and served some excellent drinks.

This place was great, very lively, cool vibe, good music, awesome art, can't wait to go back!

Local bar in Kalamaja - cool place with nice music and friendly atmosphere

TOPS is a hop bar in the fancy Kalamaja hood. Basic kitchen, some drinks, sometimes DJing and party. However, the staff is too hip to be really motivated and there is (already) a connection of those people to Germany's leftist extremist scene. So beware of unfriendly people

We went for gin and tonics to this nice bar after dinner. The whole block around is full of bars and restaurants. Labor bar is decorated in a theme that matches its name. Drinks can also be purchased in test tubes. The bar itself is very nice and full of different places to sit, although the air conditioning is quite cool. The price level is reasonable. The service in the bar was quite slow, mainly due to the large number of people. Until next time.

All style, zero substance. The design and theming of the place is flawless - the art gorgeous, the lighting quite evocative. I loved the tables that light up when you touch them - a gimmick really, really done well. Sadly, the concept falls apart a bit at the drinks menu. Whilst the drinks still go with the theme, it's all the sort of things you think are great when you're twelve and not supposed to be drinking yet. Cheap spirits mixed with crappy sodas, to make what effectively amounts to rebranded long drinks. At least the drinks are cheap, but that doesn't necessarily make them better. I'm probably rating this lower than I would be if it didn't feel like there was a bunch of wasted potential for an actually cool cocktail bar here.

What a great contrast to all of the other bars in Old Town Tallinn. Three of us went there for drinks, and nothing could prepare us for what hit us. Instead of ordinary drink choices, they have a special menu of drinks from weak to strong. Moreover, the drinks are served in test tube. One drink order consists of 10 test tubes. We ordered nitromethane and urine samples. I think both were vodka drinks with various juices. What a memorable time.

This is more of a youth center where someone with a little more demand for drinks should stay away from. The decor is quite fun but unfortunately the place is not more than that. The drinks are served in plastic cups, are lukewarm and don't taste very good

The design of the bar is very unique. The cocktail itself wasn't very special, but the tubes. There is a dancing area downstairs.

Yeah but of a weird one. The whole style and vibe is top notch really - they nailed it. It’s the drinks menu where they fell a bit short. Drinks didn’t really taste like much of a cocktail as they did like a mix of cheap juice with a hint of spirit. Can’t comment on the shots but they did look cool. I mean I’d say come for a drink or two as it’s relatively inexpensive but not worth staying for much longer

such a big assortment of shots and cocktails, really fun bar, had light-interactive tables

Visited in Sep 2025 As per my experience, Whisper Sister is undoubtedly the best cocktail bar in Tallinn/Estonia, maybe even in the Baltics. The entrance to the bar is via a door which has a phone number written on it (very small size near the door key hole). You have to call the number for someone to come out and open the door. Once inside you are led down to the fantastic speakeasy bar. There are multiple rooms in the bar where you can choose to sit in. Ordered 4 cocktails, and each one of them was absolutely fantastic. My favourite cocktail was the Kuro Dragon and I would strongly recommend trying this. Among the other drinks I ordered, the “Prayer to Mayahuel” was a nice easy cocktail, and the “Velvet Bond” was a fabulous sprit forward cocktail. Service was brilliant. I did not have a reservation but was able to get a bar counter seat immediately as I walked in. But I visited on a weekday where crowds might be low. Maybe it’s best to do a reservation. All in all, this bar is a must visit if you’re in Tallinn. 100% the best cocktail bar in Tallinn.

If you’re into hidden little cocktail bars, you’ll love this spot. They make it a little tricky to enter and you must earn the experience. Once inside, the service is warm, inviting and elevated. I had the Velvet Bond and Foreplay. Both were delicious. It was a Sunday eve so it was mellow. I enjoyed this as it gave me a chance to chat with the bar staff and get their local recommendations. Worth the effort and the visit!

Whisper Sister is a real gem in Tallinn. The speakeasy vibe is spot-on, intimate, stylish, and full of character. The cocktails were very fancy, beautifully crafted, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is amazing, with just the right mix of mystery and comfort, making it feel like a special night out. Perfect place if you’re into creative drinks and a unique, hidden-bar experience.

Best place I've ever been to. Went there several days a row because the experience was something you get nowhere else.. in a good way obviously. You can buy coctails and mocktails and from snacks I deffinitely suggest Asian cucumbers and Persian olives. The best experience ever! Deffinitely go there! 5+

What a great experience! Both staff were amazingly helpful, gave us suggestions on what to get based on the flavours we like. They really made us feel like we were in their home. Great selection of cocktails. We thoroughly enjoyed. Our waitress also gave us a list of places she recommends us to visit. One again it shows how much the staff care for us to enjoy our visit to Tallinn. After here we we to one place she recommended, Rataskaevu 16. Again, we had the perfect night! Thank you to the staff :)

This was perhaps the highlight of my Estonian tour . Warm staff , great ambience and drinks absolutely amazing . I booked it using their website however I was told by the staff one can go directly and call on the number provided at the door and they accommodate if they have space available .

Amazing speak easy bar, not easy to find as only a small plate on the door indicates the entrance with a number to call to get allowed in Really friendly staff- works in a speak easy way - with great surprises from the bartender. The olives are really great too

Definitely a wonderful experience, but do not count on the food as a meal for the day especially if your from the Arab region. We ordered the deer dish to share just to be cautious and we never finished it! I recommend coming in just for the experience and maybe try something out of curiosity but don’t count on the food flavors too much. The bathrooms were absolutely terrible and overall I believe the place could be maintained better than its current status (unless its part of the intended atmosphere) The staff were the highlight of the experience, they are so into character with their gestures, language, and overall spirit. Would not come back again but would recommend visiting at least once.

Even though this looks like a textbook tourist trap, and the dishes are rather expensive, this was an overall good experience for me. The restaurant looks interesting, and the waiter was pleasent and quick. I ordered a meat tasting plate (as it was one of the rare cheaper options), and was surprised at how tasty it was. I really enjoyed it. The downside is that if you are very hungry and also short on money, this place is better to be avoided as the full course for lunch would cost a fortune.

This is my dream restaurant. It's fully lit by candles and has a medieval theme. It's super spacious - 3 levels. Attention to detail is well appreciated. The bathrooms especially! At first I couldn't find the toilet paper and soap! 🤣 Yes it's slightly pricey but worth it in my opinion. Staff are incredible ! After all, this is a whole experience in itself. Best birthday feast ever.

This restaurant offers a delightful setting reminiscent of bygone eras, and the cuisine similarly reflects traditional practices. While the food may present a different flavor profile than what we, as Asians, are typically accustomed to, it is not necessarily a negative reflection, simply a distinct experience. The true highlights are undoubtedly the restaurant's ambiance and the staff, who are elegantly attired in traditional clothing.

An unforgettable, immersive medieval dining experience! The moment you enter, the middle-age atmosphere is palpable and truly impressive. It's not just the decorations; the food taste also contributes significantly to the feeling. I highly recommend the tender deer fillet, the distinct honey beer, and the hearty dark bread. Although the cuisine isn't Michelin-level perfection, it absolutely nails the authenticity of the medieval theme. The service was phenomenal. Waiters and waitresses in traditional clothes were always helpful, patiently introducing the menu, and making personalized recommendations as if they were dining with you. P.S. A special shout-out to the unique design of the men's room—worth a peek! 🤣

We loved this restaurant! Fresh mushroom soup, fresh bread and Glögi (hot spiced wine) Delicious! The staff were outstanding, fun and personable. The period clothing and the medieval atmosphere were intriguing. Definitely stop in when you're are in Old Town Tallinn.

The main thing about this restaurant is the old world charm. They have created a great experience with retaining the decor, the food to follow and good service. However, since Tallin is mainly catering to tourists, this was the only place during our trip to Finland-Tallin, the server asked us for a tip. Food is overpriced for sure, but I suppose if you are looking to experience something different and eat some unique meat like deer and bear, this is the place to visit

The Tallinn town hall is your typical museum setup. Info about the old town since the 1300s. Not much to say about that. The tower was pretty cool though. Got to go up to the bell and see the city from there. Not sure if the €20 was worth it.

A top stop! Lovely preserved old building with cool stuff and good descriptions in English. Plenty to see, it’s not just a reading experience. The floor just under the roof is super cool. If you’re up to it, climb the tower for a unique view. Note the climb is very steep, can be very crowded and may have a long.

Most people only talk about the Tallinn Town Hall for its beautiful building, but there is so much more to it. Can you imagine that it has a museum inside? I didn’t know until I went there. I like the museum because it talks about a special street, the “Pikk Street”, in Danish this would translate to “dick street”. Good thing Estonia isn’t Danish anymore. But funnily enough this reminded me of all the Dicks Streets back in Luxembourg. A strangely comforting thought. There are many places to sit down in the museum, which is a criteria I always use to rate the visitability of a museum. Especially because I have a friend who loves to sit down. The more my friends can sit, the happier I am. We also found out about the Estonian fascination with weather vanes. They’re not just regular weather vanes, they are enormous. You can really not miss them on top of churches or in this case inside the museum. Now coming back to the start, people may admire the view of the building but from the museum you have a beautiful view onto the city. It really is a must visit.

This old town feels like stepping straight into a fairy tale – except instead of a dragon, you’re most likely to bump into a tourist wielding a selfie stick. Narrow cobblestone streets twist between colorful medieval buildings, and no matter which way you go, the town hall finds a way to peek at you from somewhere – like it’s playing hide and seek, and always winning. The atmosphere takes care of itself. While you're sipping coffee or nibbling on a local pastry, a horse-drawn cart might gently roll by, and someone in medieval costume could pop around the corner. For the tourists? For fun? Or maybe just a lost time traveler. Who’s to say. Town hall itself is a Gothic masterpiece from the 14th century, and it still holds court with pride. If Tallinn does one thing exceptionally well, it's blending history with charm. And if you find yourself taking photos of the same tower from every imaginable angle… trust me, you’re not alone. This place does that to people.

Tallinn Town Hall has its own museum inside dedicated to both the building’s past and the city’s. It was interesting to learn that there were writings about the Town Hall from 1200s. Entrance fee is 20 euros but free if you have a Tallinn city card.

Tallinn Town Hall is a stunning landmark that perfectly captures the spirit of the Old Town. The Gothic architecture, intricate details, and panoramic views from the tower make it well worth a visit. Inside, the exhibits give a fascinating glimpse into Tallinn’s rich history and civic life. Whether you’re exploring the square below or climbing to the top for amazing city views, the Town Hall is a must-see stop for anyone visiting Tallinn!

Great view from the top of tower (35 meters high). Nearby food market is a great place to relax during summer.

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour from Mart, whose dry sense of humour, personal experience and bank of knowledge made it a good all-round experience. I considered it good value for money but be prepared to digest information at a fast pace as Mart speaks quite quickly! He answered all my questions in between stops, which I was very thankful for. A great way to spend an hour and learn more about a very interesting time in Estonia. Would recommend.

Very interesting tour, a little on the expensive side, but I didn't mind paying for it. The tour guide is great, very knowledgable, you visit a couple of secret rooms on the floor that didn't exist and you also get to use both balconies facing in opposite directions to get a good view of the city. I don't think it said in the booking that the meeting place is the left side of the hotel lobby, there's a desk with the google map marker and the word "here"

Our guide was excellent…. Very interesting and sincere. She shared her personal experiences in the Soviet Union in Tallinn, which made the experience much more meaningful. I wish that more of the hotel had been preserved for the tour.

This was my second time visiting the museum for the guided tour and it was a really great experience. Our guide Pasha was really good at explaining and making it a fun and interesting tour with the use of dry wit and humour to make the stories come to life. You need to book your tour in advance and they get filled up fast since it's only for small groups so if you want to go make sure you book your tickets early! Keep in mind that the museum is only available with the tour at their specific times but it is really worth it even for Repeated visits!

Honestly speaking, I’ve expected to see a bit more artefacts and equipment, but the museum is basically only two rooms on the rooftop of Hotel Viru. However, our guide Rene is an absolute legend with a lot of insight and knowledge about the history of this place, and how the KGB operated back then. Him alone was worth the price of admission. Fun way to spend an hour in Tallinn.

Very interesting tour of old KGB offices inside of a historic hotel. Pasha [Pavel], our guide, had a fantastic sense of dry humor. The museum is quite small, but it was an interesting tour. The views from Floor 22 are a highlight.

Interesting experience, though a bit pricey for a 1 hour tour. Totally low-tech - the value is in being in the actual KGB spaces, hearing the stories, seeing the artifacts and photos up close. Bonus excellent views! The guide was informative, with a very dry sense of humour. Small tour group, so booking in advance is recommended.

I ate the chicken filet with mashed potatoes and broccoli, it was delicious ! The sauce had very mushrooms in it and the fillet was perfectly cooked. They have a huge menu for beers, so if you are a beer lover you won't be deceived. I personally took the witbir from the place itself and it was delicious. Price are on the average of Tallin and the food is above average 😊 The ambiance was great. Even for just a drink, I recommend this place.

This place has a really wide selection of beers, there is a number of pages dedicated to bottled beers and a number on tap as well. And it tastes good! Since it is in the town centre it is also quite touristy, especially in the in-out kind of way. The meals were delicious here and especially the garlic bread starter tasted good. The place itself has a unique vibe. The waitress was nice and actually recommended the starter to us.

Loved this place. Quite tucked away and I the basement. Service is quick and friendly. They have an enormous selection of beers (took ages to choose) and delicious salmon soup that comes with bread, and a vana tallinn liqueur laced plum ice cream. Highly recommend!

A great place with an endless variety of beers,a tasteful menu, reasonable prices and service is friendly- quick as well. Visiting Põrgu, it was a pleasure!

Great cellar bar with a pub type feel and medieval vibe. We came for the beer and enjoyed a gose and a sour. Had an extensive beer menu which was really nice.

I've always had good time here. The food is great and the beer selection is crazy. Friendly and decently quick service even when the place is full. Nicely priced. Only thing to watch out are the very steep stairs. :)

Not just a bar in a crypt. The sevice was attentive the food was beautifully cooked, flavoured and presented. The waitress knew everything about the vast selection of beers from far and wide. My favourite and not expensive for the old town. I fell in love with everything about Porgu

Visited Kohvik Maiasmokk, Tallinn's oldest café, established in 1864. The atmosphere is steeped in history, with a beautifully preserved interior that transports you back in time. The coffee, while a bit lighter than what I'm accustomed to, aligns with local preferences. It's smooth and pairs well with their selection of pastries. A unique feature is the Kalev Marzipan Museum Room, offering insights into the art of marzipan making and its history. If you're in Tallinn, Kohvik Maiasmokk offers a delightful blend of history and flavor, making it a must-visit spot.

Fabulous place with fabulous atmosphere. The menu is pretty small, but there is everything what is needed. We took the breakfast and it was very healthy. Waiting time was around 20 min. They have marvelous pastries. Note that they have limited places to seat, you might wait to grab a seat. Highly recommended!

The food here is really nice and tasty. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Prices are reasonable for a tourist spot. The place feels cozy and comfortable, and the view is amazing, that is perfect for relaxing. Definitely worth a visit!

Too much crowded, but cozy. Better to serve ‏Marzipan in smaller and different sizes, they have only big classic one. Their kohv was good, liked my experience 🥰. They need more staff because they have many customers.

Very elegant cafe with excellent cakes, but there is almost never available place to sit down. My favourite - curd dessert with berries.

A Sweet Slice of History in Tallinn I had the pleasure of visiting Café Maiasmokk during my trip to Tallinn, and it truly felt like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, with beautiful historic décor that makes you want to linger. I ordered a slice of cake, and it was simply delicious—light, fresh, and full of flavor. The real star for me, though, was the cappuccino: rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. It might honestly be one of the best I’ve ever had! If you’re exploring the Old Town, don’t miss this gem. Great desserts, fantastic coffee, and a charming setting that makes the experience unforgettable.

The lovely lady at the cashier is so nice.. the café is Help surface you ordered at the counter and then you collect your order and seat yourself. The dessert is good a coffee not bad. However, I will repeat the experience because of the nice lady at the cashier who was patient, welcoming and helpful

We went here for an evening drink on a Saturday. Upon entering we were told we could pick any free table and received the menu from a very friendly and cheerful staff member. The waiter happily advised us on which local beers and drinks to try. We also tried a 'snickers pie' and had a potion of loaded fries which we're very tasty.

This is a great place in historical old town Tallinn. Great atmosphere and delicious breakfast! Friendly employees speaking English. The price is also very reasonable. I Highly recommend it.

Fantastic restaurant in old town with a great selection of vegan and vegetarian food. The mushroom tacos were amazing and we ordered it twice. Staff are friendly and speak English. We went twice for lunch.

Great service and very welcoming atmosphere. We were a group of 7 people and our waitress Onnalise (not sure if it’s written correctly, sorry) did an amazing job! The snacks and the beef salad were delicious, pork tacos and seafood pasta were average, but overall we really enjoyed our evening, thanks!

Seemed to be really nice small cafeteria! I visited just to have something to take away and got some really tasty bruschettas. One with strawberries and brie cheese and another with mussels, shrimps and caviar. Would be nice to visit this place another time!

Fun eatery with a good variety of options for brekkie. Service was very prompt, courteous, with good suggestions. Interesting interior.

Very interesting interior, I liked it. Service was good and fast, food was great! Highly recommended for breakfast/brunch.

Drinks and service are not bad, but the food completely sucks. The soggy and cold fries are absolutely disgusting, the rest of the food is also 50/50. You can try it yourself, but apparently i had unlucky experience

Seen bad reviews about the food but cannot comment on these but good collection of quality beer and tvey taste fresh from the draft meaning they clean it often like a proper bar should do.

Nice and cosy UK style pub. The only place in Tallinn to get cask ciders. But they offer solid choice of local craft beers and make cocktails as well! Beside pub menue they offer daily meals as well with a reasonable price.

Good selection of beers, friendly service and all around nice place. Extra points for the outdoor seating - granted, it only has three tables, but the surrounding is very nice and old-towney. Basic selection of snacks and foods, special mention to the rye bread snacks with garlic dip, absolutely heavenly.

The service was great, very nice ambiance and polite staff. I wanted to try craft beer and they had a variety of options and were keen on telling me which was which and what they had. Very cozy place.

Great selection of beers, but the space is a bit cramped and quite noisy. Would love to see more room for a more comfortable experience.

Food Quality: 5/5 (Loved it) Price: 2/5 (very satisfied) Taste: 5/5 (Yummy!) Portion Size: 4/5 (see photos!) Very nice staff, food was prepared quickly. Will surely visit again if i go to Tallinn again! Thank you for your service 😍

A very positive experience at Fotografiska Tallinn! Loved the exhibitions. Every moment was interesting, and the quality of the works was outstanding. It was great that the place wasn't crowded. I could really take my time and enjoy the art.

We enjoyed a break here for a glass of wine and Kate in the day 50% off pastry so I chose an apple tart. Yummy. Service excellent. This cafe is set in the base of the museum, a charming gift shop with prints by famous recording artists, art books, and more. The indoor seating is accessible and we choose accessible outdoor seating amid the vibe in the creative district with street murals, cafes, artists displays.

Been to the Stockholm Fotografiska years ago, and once i had the chance to see Tallinns - my expectations were high - and I was not disappointed. Nested in a beautiful reclaimed building, the exhibitions were spot on and how they were highlighted was world class. Also great modern eatery and cafe on the ground floor. Overall great experience!

When I was here there was only 2 of 3 exhibitions open so the price was reduced which was very nice! Small shop with a lot of books and other stuff.

Exhibition of Elliot Erwitt was excellent. They have 2 floors of exhibitions and ground floor have restaurant, shop and rest rooms. It’s about 15-20 minutes walk from old town but was worth it. The neighborhood is upcoming as many industrial buildings and warehouses are being converted into residential and restaurants.

Entry fee 17€ is very expensive. But the three exhibitions worth it. Als the cafe. Nice. Don’t miss to go depoot food trucks and the bazar next door.

Very interesting expositions, particularly the one of Elliot Erwitt. Very interesting art quarter surrounds the building, well worth a visit !

Definitely don’t ask to hear any Def Leppard at this bar. You will see scorn like you’ve never seen scorn. Skip this place, unless you’re suicidal. This is a good last stop. At least you can go out with some drinks. I’m sure both of this band’s fans like this place and its music.

This is a cool bar, especially if you're a fan of the music. It's a little pricey, a pint of lager was more than 7 euros, but you're paying for the experience. The gent behind the bar was really sound & you can tell he loves the band!

As a Depeche Mode fan, I had to visit this place. It was fairly empty at 10pm, the staff weren’t friendly and the vibe was flat. The drink selection was standard. I watched DM on a big screen while I drank my drink. No one socialised and it felt like a waiting room. It would be cool if they served DM themed drinks.

Great place to go if you are a Depeche Mode fan. Everything in this place oozes DM. Been here twice and love it.

Place has everything - great vibes, great staff, great music (obviously) and the crowd that's really chill to hang with. Made a whole bunch of friends through years in there and always glad to visit. Can highly recommend

Great place for Depeche mode fans. The reason I gave only four stars is because I asked politely for a song and they asked for money to fulfill my request. It is not like I asked for something impossible or to play Pet Shop Boys. There are many other delicate ways to handle these kind of situations, instead of asking for money. 😃

Superb. It's absolutely a must for every DM fan. Don't be afraid to try the canned stuff in the fridge. The IPA was much nicer than the bog standard lager. Was kind of hoping for a decent cider selection so I could 'Enjoy the Ciders'.

Visited in Sep 2025 Sigmund Freud Bar is the most popular bar in Tallinn, as all online searches listed it as the best bar to visit in the city. It is a nice establishment with a decent cocktail menu. Few of the drinks have very nice gimmicks in terms of drink presentation. I enjoyed my time here but I do feel this place is a bit overhyped (personal perspective). Make no mistake, this is a nice bar, but it definitely wasn’t the best cocktail bar I visited in Tallinn. That would be Whisper Sister.

Cool bar and I’d say substances matches the style. Bar staff were nice and attentive. If you’re into cocktails, this place will be for you as it certainly shines in that area. Bit more expensive than you’re regular but it’s an experience so why not go?

One of the best places in Tallinn for some amazing cocktails and a great ambience. A must visit for a night out in Tallinn. Friendly servers and such a great vibe.

Drinks taste good with the funny name. My boyfriend had Kitty Colada and I had Banana Republic. However the bartender was little bit off mood for us. He did not recommend or brought the feeling of welcoming to us. The bar is quite small with few table so I would recommend to book the slot beforehand.

Coctails are very beautiful, u can taste the flavours obviously. Just one waitress taking care the customers he efforts a lot. Please hire someone to assist him

Great bar with a nice variety of cocktails for everyone’s taste! The bartenders are super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good drink.

Great ambience, impeccable playlist and very kind service! The Tundra shots were incredible, surely among the best ones I've ever tried. What were the ingredients again? Can somebody tell me please? 😁🙏🙏

Staff should also be taught to speak politely. There should be more polite security personnel in such a place. He physically pushed me because I couldn't find the ticket I had just bought. The sales person at the next table preferred to just watch even though she knew I had bought a ticket from her a few seconds ago. Luckily, I found the ticket after 10-15 seconds. The inside is quite spacious. There are smoking rooms upstairs. The music was fine. (Saturday, around 1- 1.30am).

1. Gender equality is not respected. Only 10 men can enter at a time. 2. The sound system is terrible. I think the speakers are faulty.

A very nice night at Hollywood club. We enjoyed it. Good music and good mood. Unfortunately I had a very bad experience when, at 3am, I went to the wardrobe to say hello to a friend and the personnels (the ticket and security officers, both of them) didn’t permit me to come back, nonetheless I paid the entry (as well as severals expensive drinks) and having a good habits of corse. I preferred not to start a controversy, but the staff were rude due to their lack of willingness to listen to me. Reason why for the 3 stars instead of 5. That’s too bad.

Very bad club, only Estonian songs, which are foreign to foreign visitors. The staff was very bad, when buying the ticket the price was not known at all, when buying the ticket the saleswomen just talked among themselves and did not pay attention to the buyer, I felt that they were trying to cheat me. I was cheated out of 50 cents when buying a drink, the cocktail cost 9€ but I was made to pay 9,50€. Entrance to the club was 20€ and it was not worth paying that money. There are pictures on the internet of interesting shots in test tubes that attracted attention, but it turns out there never were any. Fraud will not be a club, please do not choose to go there. This one star is actually 0 because everything there was bad and unacceptable.

Very rude service!!! First, when entering the club, when you hand over a jacket, the cloakroom staff is not interested in accepting outerwear. Second, when you enter the club itself, there is no indication that you should pay for the entrance, and the staff sitting behind the counter spoke to other people in Estonian, which suggests that there is no staff, while when you walk past this staff, no one is interested in talking or addressing you, but a security guard is immediately called, who grabs your hand and reproaches you for not paying. When you approach these ladies, having realized that the visitors speak English among themselves, they continue to speak in Estonian, do not say PRICES and very quickly put the terminal down so that the visitor does not see the price! Third, the music they play is only Estonian music, not international music, therefore, there is nothing for foreigners to do here. I do not recommend visiting this institution, where people are cheated, the attitude of the staff is beyond criticism.

I visited this place with my friends on Saturday. This place simply is terrible. I would never recommend this place for anybody. There was only 3 toilets in such a large nightclub witch has over 300 customer capability. Security was extremely rude to customers and the entrance fee was too high (12e) including not having permission to go outside take a break.

I love the entry free, awesome good music, the drinks were okay, the place is huge just the dancefloor is a little small

Fine night club with a good atmosphere! I went here on a Saturday night, without any special theme night. The music quality is good and the drinks are affordable. €6,- for a 40cl tap beer or an harkf an liter German white beer. No grumpy and unfriendly staff either, which is not always the case!

A decent nightclub with a good atmosphere. I went on a Saturday evening (no special theme night) and the music quality was fine. Drinks are reasonably priced – about €6 for a 40 cl draft beer or half a liter of German wheat beer. Staff were polite and not unfriendly, which makes the overall experience pleasant.

The dance floor was not big enough. The main issue was the party. I think I was in wrong party high possibility but the crowd old, almost everyone might be 40+. The music was very good, from selection of songs to remixing was perfect. Drink was expensive then all the usual clubs

As a person who clubs in NYC I would say this is certainly different. It is like “Throwback Thursday” on a never ending loop. If you are trying to find good club music here(techno/house/recent edm hits) it is not going to be it.The crowd is a quite pushy and rude, not your typical vibing crowd. If you are fall down drunk you will probably have a decent time listing to some throwbacks. We went on a Friday night for this show, Sky Plus After Party with DJ Andi Raig and DJ Bad J…not on throwback night.

Night club with paid entry. The DJ doesn't care about the visitors. There are 80 people in the club and only two on the dance floor because the music is terrible ? Not a problem for him, he continues with what only he likes, despite multiple demands to change the music. Place to be avoided.

terrible nightclub. We went in with 6 people, also paid for 6 tickets. The gentleman thought he counted 7 people, so the last one had to pay double. Tried to explain that we are with 6, but he was incredibly rude and contemptuous. did not want to listen to us. Paid one ticket too much and terrible staff. Not recommended!

Some bartenders ‘accidentally’ ring up drinks at a higher price on the payment terminal. Counting on you being too drunk to notice, I suppose.

Club Studio has the best music in town, with well-selected DJs who keep the energy high. Their cocktail and shot menu is impressive—I've never had better drinks in any Tallinn nightclub. A must-visit for an unforgettable clubbing experience!

Cool club for youngsters.. got crowded extremely fast on Saturday evening..music..well-depends on your preferences..upper floor-total trans, like for junkies (( downstairs were more common, but toooooo crowded.. first come-first serve, as they say.

Studio is my favourite club in Tallinn, just the best🫶🏻 I honestly love how you can dance to different beats, first floor has one type of music and the second floor has another. That way I can go there with all of my friends even the ones who don’t like the type of music that I do!😌 The staff is AMAZING, filled with gorgeous and friendly people!❤️ And they also make the best cocktails and shots! I always have so much fun there!🤩

The music is like in every club of an mid-sized European city at the beginning of the 2010s. Prices are just 3 times higher. I wonder how the mostly young crowd (18-23) can afford that.

A club with the best atmosphere. It is a very good solution to have 2 floors where different music is played. The bars have everything you want and the prices are very ok. Special thanks to the wardrobe attendant Lii who did her job very well and was super lovely.

Club Studio in Tallinn is a must-visit for nightlife enthusiasts. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and cutting-edge design, it offers an electrifying experience for both locals and visitors. The club boasts an impressive sound system and lighting setup, making it ideal for those who love quality electronic music. Resident and international DJs keep the energy high, spinning a diverse mix of house, techno, and other genres. The crowd is lively and friendly, and the staff is attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment. Club Studio has a reputation for delivering an unforgettable night out in Tallinn.P

One of my favorite clubs in Tallinn! The ladies bathroom is sooo pretty!! And so is the smoking room! The staff are kind, respectful and always there to help you in case of any problems. I had lost my bracelet and they found it for me in less than 5 minutes! The bartenders are also very clever coming up with fun shots, so I definitely recommend asking them to create something for you:)

A nice and cozy little pub in Telliskivi area with Põhjala beer selection. My visit was just before Christmas time so the weather was quite cold and rainy, but during the summer time there is a really nice terrace, (which was also open in December) which might be the best place to spend time with local beer. The location was quite hard to find when it was dark outside, because it wasn't so well marked, but in daytime it was clearly visible.

Small bar with industrial decor offering the latest crafts from Põhjala brewery. Awesome fact: the backyard has a ping pong table!

If you want to drink Põhjala beer, this is the place to visit.

Guess what, this bar is created and ruled by Põhjala brewery. Obviously you can find there a selection of theirs own beers as well as a some other Estonians breweries. Cheap prices for good drinks. Somehow the place recalls me the ruins bars of Budapest.

Very good choice of beers. It's tiny but with a character. Good times. Good vibes. Go there.

Well.. well.. well... It's a speakeasy... So what do you expect.. it's a perfect one in a sense of offering good stuff and being so to say underground.. the MDF decor is actually pleasing after first 10 visits. I would not want it any other way nowadays... As for the location and things on tap it is perfect... Average pricing could be somewhat less. But there also is no alternative... That is the sole speakeasy Tallinn! Somehow I am drawn back every now and then!

Really cool place with nice beer selection. Backyard actually feels like speakeasy.

Pancake was flavorful, soups were nice as well. We arrived at 16:45 and waited about 5m to get a table. After that hour, it's pretty crowded with a long line. Price of pancake is just ~7euro, it's huge, enough for two.

A legendary pancake place where there’s almost always a queue. We waited about 10 minutes to get in (visited at 8:30 PM, they close at 10 PM). We ordered: smoked salmon pancake perfect, my personal favorite; chicken in cream sauce pancake not for everyone, a bit dry for my taste; ham with cheese sauce pancake; beef with pickles pancake - delicious if you like pulled boiled meat; sweet pancake with strawberries and ice cream top choice, tender and well-balanced; sweet pancake with cherries and vanilla sauce - a bit unusual because of the coconut flakes (I’d skip them), but my friends loved it. Portions are huge and generously filled — one pancake can easily be shared by two. The staff speaks multiple languages, and Milan was friendly and attentive.

Great place, absolutely must visit when you are in Tallinn! The food is very tasty, big portions - so come here not for adessert but for a main course. There's usually a queue at the entrance but it totally worth it!

Smoked salmon pancake was AMAZING. I also highly recommend The mushrooms soup. Staff was very friendly and nice. Good price. I would definitely come back here in the future:)

Amazing pancakes!! We had to wait only for 10 min approximately which is nice and the wait was totally worth it! Big portions and amazing flavor.

I recommend trying the pancake with beef, pickles and cream cheese. That one was really tasty. The one with smoked chicken and feta cheese was unfortunately not our cup of tea. You get a good and filling portion for the prize though. Overall atmosphere a bit cold and impersonal and quite long waiting times since the table set-up is not very efficient.

Great find, recommend to us. Savoury and sweet pancakes, soups, bread , drinks in a large dark serving space

The food was good. Not many vegan options. They did manage to shuffle us in last minute and that was super kind! Staff were very friendly and helpful. The interior design was very aesthetic and cozy.

We had latte, cocoa and Pavlova. Everything was amazing and the view from the first floor was astounding. We had great service. Would recommend Pavlova for everyone who likes a bit sour aspect to their desserts.

Our last lunch in Tallinn and this restaurant was recommend to us, there was no wait for a table & we were given a table on the second floor by the window with a fantastic view. The menu choices are limited but this is no doubt deliberate, as all the produce tasted very fresh. All the side dishes were amazing and highly recommend. The fish and chicken main dishes were really nice, we didn't have a starter or dessert. Service was pleasant and we were guided well ref menu options by our server Kristiina

This is superb! We walked by this on day 1 and been meaning to try. God the food did not disappoint!! Really good! Fish is well flavoured and tender then the flakes were bursting w umani. Try to kombucha to clear palate and boost ur immune :)) and the dessert cheese cake is not to be missed. I love this place for the ambient greaty quality food

We came to Tallinn on a whim for the Midsummer weekend, and unbeknownst to us it was also graduation week. Even though it was a busy Friday night, the hostess at Pegasus took us as a walk-in and sat us immediately. The patio is right on a lively main walking street and made for great dog-watching :) Our server, Artur, was a friendly young gentleman — knowledgeable about the menu and able to make a few great recommendations. He worked the room like a pro and we were quite impressed when he mentioned it was his first week at the restaurant. The food was superb. We had a bunch of appetizers, the whipped feta and tartare were real standouts. All the flavors were so well thought out, completely balanced — nothing out of place. The basque cheesecake had a delicious pistachio sorbet with lots of seeds for a little crunch, as well as a tart cherry compote and espresso foam. Again, so well thought out. A perfect dessert. Overall, our visit to Pegasus was 10/10 and we will definitely be back!

Amazing food and drinks in Tallinn - no trip to this city is complete without making a trip here! Interesting and considered menu, and as a vegetarian there were great choices. Plant forward and flavourful dishes. And the team are super friendly and kind!

We were very pleased with this place. I'd especially like to mention and thank our waitress, Josefiine, who made our evening wonderful. She was very sweet and attentive. Despite being busy, she gave us the attention we deserved. Overall, I can recommend this place, even though the dish I ordered (tartare) wasn't the best. The design and atmosphere in the restaurant are very warm and perfect for warm gatherings.

There truly are a lot of gates in old town and out of all of them this is the best one. There are also some nice flower shops right outside the gate. I also suggest going to the park next to the gate like an upper level of the gate viewing area for some better photos and less crowds. It’s rare that the better photo spot also has less people

Ein schöner mittelalterlicher gut erhaltener Ort! Man braucht kein Ticket für den Eintritt in Tallinn Altstadt, noch um die Stadttore zu erkunden. Die zwei Türme sind ein märchenhafter Eingang mit einigen Blumengeschäften bei dem Markt vor Ort welche sich für Bilder anbieten ebenfalls kann man dort Souvenirs einkaufen! Grundsätzlich ist es sehr fotogen und viele Leute schauen es sich täglich an. Toll dort vorbeizuschauen und es zu erkunden kann es sehr empfehlen! (Translated by Google) A beautiful medieval well-preserved place! You don't need a ticket to enter Tallinn Old Town or to explore the city gates. The two towers are a fairytale entrance with some flower shops at the local market which are great for taking pictures and you can also buy souvenirs there! Basically, it is very photogenic and many people look at it every day. Great to stop by and explore, highly recommend!

Beauty historical landmark from the medieval era of Estonian.

The Viru Gate in Tallinn is a captivating entry point to the city's charming Old Town. The well-preserved medieval gates offers one a glimpse into Tallinn's rich history and serve as a picturesque backdrop for exploring the cobblestone streets and historic landmarks beyond. Whether admiring them from afar or passing through to explore the Old Town, the Viru Gate is a must-visit destination you can’t miss when in Talinn

Enterance gate of the old town is called the Viru gaye. This gate is having a beautiful ancient architecture. There is a beautiful flower market located at the entrance of the gate which adds up to the beauty of the place.

I loved this and I had a great time here. As soon as you see this gate you can’t get lost because it leads to every other tourist attraction such as Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Toompia Castle plus the Town Hall.

Up the street you will find the main square, town hall and some restaurants. Nothing spectacular but very cute!

Nestled at the entrance of Tallinn’s enchanting Old Town, Viru Gate (Viru värav in Estonian) is a striking portal that ushers you into a world where medieval charm meets vibrant modernity. This iconic structure, often the starting point for exploring Tallinn’s historic heart, promises more than meets the eye for those who take the time to delve beyond its impressive facade. Historical Background Built in the 14th century as part of Tallinn’s formidable city defenses, Viru Gate originally featured a more extensive structure, including walls and additional towers, which were part of the city’s protective system. Over time, much of these fortifications were dismantled as the city expanded, leaving the gate as a historical remnant. The two round towers that stand today are remnants of what was once a more complex entrance to the city, serving as a reminder of Tallinn’s medieval past. Unique Features and Hidden Gems 1. Medieval Tower Secrets The gate’s twin towers are more than just picturesque landmarks; they house narrow, winding staircases that are often overlooked. While not always open to the public, during special events or guided tours, you might get a chance to explore these hidden stairs. If accessible, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the architectural ingenuity of medieval Tallinn and provide a unique vantage point for viewing the surrounding area. 2. Floral Market At the base of Viru Gate, you’ll find a bustling flower market that brings a burst of color and life to the stone structure. This market is not just a delightful photo opportunity but also a testament to the gate’s role as a gateway to everyday local life. The flowers here are fresh and vibrant, often changing with the seasons, and browsing the stalls offers an intimate experience of Tallinn’s local charm. 3. The Secret Passageways Just beyond Viru Gate, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of the Old Town, are several less-trafficked alleys and courtyards. These passageways, some of which are remnants of old defensive routes, offer a quieter, more intimate exploration of the city’s medieval architecture. Look for the small plaques and signs that tell stories of past residents and historical events. 4. Nighttime Enchantment Viru Gate takes on a magical quality after dusk. The gate and its surroundings are beautifully illuminated, casting a warm glow that accentuates the medieval architecture against the night sky. Visiting after dark allows you to experience a different atmosphere, less crowded and more serene, with the added charm of the gate’s dramatic lighting. Tips for Visiting • Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late evening to avoid the crowds and enjoy the gate in a quieter setting. • Exploration: Take time to walk through the small alleys just beyond the gate for a more authentic Old Town experience. • Photography: Capture the gate’s charm both during the day and at night to appreciate its full character. • Local Interactions: Engage with the flower sellers at the market for a bit of local interaction and perhaps pick up some Estonian blooms.

We trekked directly to this spot because I knew that the sun would be on it, early AM. It is a fantastic photo location, which also has half a dozen fabulous flower shops right outside.

Would definitely recommend everyone to go there. It’s like a heaven inside the city. Both the park and the museum are incredibly beautiful. Most of the museum was closed as of August due to a new installation coming up. The halls, paintings, rooms all depict the gothic style. The sculpture room which can be easily missed has some really important sculptures and if you have time you can listen and learn about their historic background.

Wonderful little chalet with an impressive art exhibition. We were there at the special exhibition about flowers in art, and the paintings were stunning. Lots of Breughels, and dozens of other paintings from old Dutch masters. They also have a very interesting "Wunderkammer", with all kinds of curiosities, like the skeleton of a mermaid, or a two-headed chicken. Also, the architecture of the building itself is quite beautiful, inside and outside. There also is a courtyard in the back, where in summer lots and lots of flowers will bloom. And in front of the chalet, there is an extensive park.

1 | The museum is housed in the Baroque Kadriorg Palace, which was built in the early 18th century by the Russian Tsar Peter I for his wife Catherine I. The museum specializes in European and Russian art from the 16th to the early 20th century, featuring foreign collections that have no equivalent elsewhere in Estonia. 2 | The adjacent garden and park are worth visiting even if you’re not interested in paintings or don’t plan to go inside. The garden in particular is truly beautiful and deserves great admiration. Entrance to it is free. 3 | The museum ticket costs €15 (October 2025), and you can pay by card.

Went as a group tour. Enjoyed walking through the grounds and park approaching the museum. Undergoing some structural work so scaffolding in place. Quite busy inside. Good to see a group of young school children visiting.

This is one of the best art museums I have visited. There was a lot of good artwork, and the pieces were very well displayed. The building itself is beautiful, so even if I had not enjoyed the art, I would have enjoyed the decoration of the rooms. You must leave bags in the lockers. These are free to use. There is a small cafe. There are toilets. These were in a clean condition. There was a small souvenir shop. My only complaint is that when purchasing one of the beautiful cards, I was not provided with an envelope to go with it. I did query this and was told they do not have any to fit the card, so now I have a card I cannot post. The cashier was also rude. You have to buy tickets to enter. There is a ticket desk or a machine in the main entrance. The last Wednesday of each month has a reduced ticket price. You get free entry with a Tallinn Card. There is partial access for people who use a wheelchair. There is a lift, and portable ramps are used for some steps. The Russian art collection on the third floor is not accessible. There are accessible toilets There were tactile plans in the museum.

It is an amazing historical and beautiful museum with a garden at the front. It is worth visiting, taking photographs, and one can walk to the nearby parks.

Beautiful location, the gardens are gorgeous, the building is nice, not a lot of things to see inside though….just a few rooms with good art collection and gorgeous fireplaces.

The church and museum contain religious artifacts, including a stunning macabre painting. Apart from the macabre, I found it all a bit boring. It was also crowded with a tour, which made it hard to appreciate the building as a whole. You are able to visit the different floors in the tower by lift or stairs, of which there are 233 steps. The lift took a long time due to the number of people using it. I gave up and used the stairs. The top floor has stunning views over Tallinn and is definitely worth a visit. The outside of the building is beautiful. As a note, there is a small children's playground behind the building. You need to buy a ticket to enter. The Tallinn Card is accepted here. There are toilets, these were clean. There was, also, a souvenir shop. Bags need to be left in lockers. These were free to use. The building is wheelchair accessible. There are disability toilets. They have put guideways in for sight impaired people at the ticket desk, cloakroom, and disabled toilets.

The highlight of the visit was the view of the Old Town from the viewing platform which can be reached by a lift within the church ( or take the steps). Some of the exhibits were interesting but you probably won’t spend too long here. There’s part of a canvas-painted work depicting the Dance of Death, some homeless bells and a fabulous modern stained glass window.

St. Nicholas’ Church is a must-visit for anyone interested in history or art. Beautifully restored after wartime damage, it now serves as both a church and an art museum, showcasing remarkable medieval religious art, including the famous “Dance of Death” painting. The Gothic architecture is breathtaking, and the acoustics make it a popular venue for concerts — a truly special experience if you get the chance to attend one. Peaceful, inspiring, and full of history — St. Nicholas’ Church captures the heart of Tallinn’s cultural heritage.

Better than expected. There could be more items to show, but now the space can be seen better. Stairs to heaven, I mean to tower, were wonderful, but I took the lift down. Extra exhibitions (Estonian books, lego history of Estonia) were good addition. Price was little steep.

This is a cool Church to go inside and the viewing platform gives some lovely views. I wouldn't have paid for this separately, but it's included in the Tallin card you can buy from the Tourist information shop, really excellent value for money & I'd highly recommend. The lift can only take 5 people at a time, so the queue doesn't go down that quickly, so plan in some extra time for your visit.

Very impressive ex-church with a great view from the tower. The lift is entirely glass but very slow so not scared - the attached video is 2x speed

There’s a lift - you don’t have to climb to the top as there’s a lift, and there’s an amazing 7 metre scroll of part of the dance of death, plus displays and a 500 year of books presentation. It’s tastefully done and the church is peaceful

I love the tiramisu! Must try🥰The food is really good. I think the service could be even better, we need to give some food to the baby and ask the kitchen to warm them up. They were like we don’t have microwave. I feel my need wasn’t about having a microwave but get the baby some food to eat so he can be quiet and content in the restaurant. I think the food can as well be warmed up in the warm water since this is a restaurant. I am hoping they could help more and make the service stands out but it is okay, at least the food was good.

A restaurant worth checking out. We went for dinner during the week and enjoyed the experience. The menu is nicely limited, the portions are carefully thought out and prepared, for example the baby octopus was cooked really well. Had a nice bottle of Primitive with food. Extra thanks for the good and attentive service :)

Perfection at best. Amazing food, very friendly and professional service. Good atmosphere. Our top favourite lunch spot in city centre. We're so glad it's nearby our salon. Recommended!

This is a very nice cozy restaurant! We had a lovely dinner and some really good wine! The food was interesting, some new combinations I have never had before. I liked everything I tried and I would deff go back to try more!

We chose this restaurant for its convenient proximity to our hotel. Our meal began with a delightful selection of starters: porcini mushrooms and sea trout. As we settled in, freshly baked bread and butter arrived, followed shortly by two exquisite culinary creations. The fried mushroom balls, nestled in a luscious cheese sauce, boasted a crisp crust and deep, satisfying flavor. The sea trout, beautifully presented, was accompanied by a silky avocado purée, vibrant passionfruit sauce, and fresh strawberries—a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Our chosen wine, a Grüner Veltliner, complemented the dish’s bright acidity perfectly. With such a promising start, our expectations for the main course—the crispy carp fish—were high. The attentive waitress provided impeccable service, ensuring every detail met our preferences. The dish itself was divine, a masterful symphony of textures and flavours, flawlessly orchestrated. A true delight, both visually stunning and exquisitely balanced for the taste buds. The wine selection further enhanced the experience, creating a perfect pairing. For dessert, we indulged in fresh strawberries and Basque cheesecake, accompanied by a delicate glass of Sauternes. This final touch rounded off our meal beautifully, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Thank you for the dedication poured into the menu, the thoughtfully curated wine list, the impeccable execution, and the warm, attentive service. From start to finish, we felt at home in every way.

The restaurant is excellent. Elegant atmosphere, good food, polite service. The beef ramen soup was amazing, our waiter Alexander was very kind and helpful. Must visit in Tallinn.

This will be my first recommendation to friends visiting Estonia. Beef ramen in the French onion style was magnificent, possibly the best ramen I’ve had. The basque cheesecake was very good, 8.5/10 Such a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant also.

This was our first visit to Talin. We were on a cruise in the Baltic Sea and this was one of the stops. We were easily able to see all the major historic sites on our self guided tour using google maps and my own research. It is a beautiful old city. We walked into the town hall square and found wonderful collection of old buildings including the Town Hall Building built in the 1200s I believe. Lots to see here.

This Square in Tallinn’s Old Town is a vibrant and picturesque area, surrounded by stunning medieval architecture. The historic Town Hall is the centerpiece, and the square is always buzzing with activity. We enjoyed coffee, beer, and food at different restaurants around the square, each offering great views and a lively atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax, people-watch, and soak in the beauty of the Old Town. A must-visit when exploring Tallinn.

Great gathering place in Tallinn old town. Spacious, great view, many shops and restaurants.

Quite a beautiful part of Tallinn, could be straight out of Austria or Bavaria. Plenty of public seating to enjoy the architecture, although it's a little unfortunate the city has allowed all the tourist trap restaurants to sprawl out onto the square. Nonetheless, well worth a visit.

Tallinn’s Town Hall Square is absolutely vibrant and full of life! The cobblestone streets add so much charm, making every step feel like walking through history. Surrounded by countless bars, cafés, and restaurants, it’s the perfect spot to relax, people-watch, or enjoy local flavors. The views are stunning – from the iconic Town Hall itself to the surrounding churches and seasonal shows that bring extra energy to the square. Whether by day or night, this place feels magical and is truly the heart of Tallinn.

Lovely square with wonderful architecture and hubbub. Tallinn claims this is the site of the first ever public Christmas tree in 1441. The Christmas markets here are wonderful! From here there are attractions in all directions – it’s a good central point in the town.

Beautiful place to stop at a cafe or sit in the abundant public seating in the middle of the square, to include some fun swinging chairs

There’s no doubt that Horisont is aiming for a Michelin star—and rightly so. A quick look into the head chef’s background, with silver and gold medals from the Chef’s Olympics, already sets high expectations. The service was impeccable—attentive, smooth, and professional, and you were never left waiting or unattended. That said, it did feel a bit too restrained at times. A slightly more relaxed, open, and engaging approach from the service team would make the experience feel warmer and more personal, especially in such a high-level setting. As a wine enthusiast, I did feel slightly let down by the wine glasses, which didn’t quite match the quality of the wine list or the overall experience. With such a carefully curated and impressive selection, this detail matters—and I consider this serious, constructive criticism that I hope is taken into account. When it comes to food, it’s clear that attention to detail, visual artistry, and technical precision are central to the kitchen’s philosophy. Most dishes were beautifully balanced and enjoyable, though there were a few moments where the palate felt slightly off or a component was a touch overcooked. That said, I have no doubt any inconsistencies were already addressed that very night—because what impressed me most was that the chef personally visited our table to ask for feedback. Not as a formality, but with genuine interest and humility. He took the time to listen and discuss, showing that this is far more than a job—it’s his passion and calling. The setting is another star in itself—located on the 30th floor, with a mesmerising view over Tallinn. It truly adds to the experience. Overall, I highly recommend Horisont—whether for a romantic dinner or a business meeting (once those wine glasses are upgraded!). With its clear ambition and sincere dedication, I wouldn’t be surprised if they earn their Michelin star very soon. So if you’re thinking of going—go now, before they have a well-earned reason to raise the prices. 😉

My go-to venue for excellent cocktails, atmosphere and views of the City. I’ve been to Horisont Bar numerous times and never disappointed — the quality of cocktails, snacks and the service really make this a special venue. The awesome views of Tallinn City Centre are an added bonus and make the experience even more memorable. For cocktails, I’d recommend the Espresso Martini and the Riki-Tiki (special). Sending my best regards and looking forward to seeing you shortly, Sten

We went here before the mentioning in Michelin guide and it has always been good. Now they have stepped up the game and this may be a star in the future. We took the tasting menu for 98 euro and wine pairing for 89 euro. I would say it’s good values for money. The sommelier has had a challenge when one of the starters had wasabi but the pairing excellently performed and great food and wine. We will come back again and maybe then a star on the wall ⭐️

An exceptional dining experience! The meticulously crafted tasting menu with perfectly paired wines was a true celebration of flavor and presentation — each dish a lovely masterpiece. The service struck the ideal balance between professionalism and warmth, with staff who clearly love what they do. A personal tour of the venue (30th floor of Swissôtel) offered nearly 270° panoramic views over Tallinn, crowned by a breathtaking sunset in the bar next to the dining area. An enjoyable and unforgettable evening shared with friends.

11.10.2025 visited Horisont Restaurant & Bar at the Swiss Hotel in Tallinn. This #michelinbibgourmand restaurant did not disappoint. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were worth the money. Compared to some of the other restaurants, this one could be considered better than some of the Michelin 1 star restaurants. The lady that was responsible for taking care of our table was really service minded, nice and charming. We wanted to give her tip, but when we were to pay with cards, we weren't able to put in extra tip like in Norway. Maybe you need to write down in advance if you would like to give tip, or maybe they just don't expect tips in Estonia. We don't know 🤷‍♀️

A nice restaurant, with a good price-performance ratio. You get some pretty good views and the bar next doors has some great drinks. The food came relatively quick and tasted fantastic. The overall presentation was very nice as well. I personally disliked some of the furniture and especially the lamps. We felt a bit being alone in the restaurant, because there were just two other guests. But that might be an exception and presumably not the restaurants fault.

The food and beverages at the Horisont Bar were excellent, and the views of the city and the sea from the 30th floor are to die for. Shout out to Jaagub, the bartender here- He was so knowledgeable and attentive! I highly recommend!!!
