My favorite! Medieval bar with super delicious food... If you like meat, you will fall in love with what they offer.. If you avoid meat, you can have nice cider, cucumber and pies.. Warm and interesting spot whenever you go there.

Great fun place to visit!! The Energy Discovery Centre is a science centre based in the former Tallinn power plant that seeks to motivate children to study science. In order to achieve this, the Centre has over one hundred exhibits, which allow kids to safely study and test physical phenomena. It’s very important for us that our visitors can discover the surrounding environment themselves.

Sightseeing

This place is also nice to walk in the midnight! There is so cool sea-side there and you can see the old boats without the ticket. Even if you dont want to buy the ticket to go in, just go and check it out from the outside... I used to hang out there when it was totally empty :D But anyway, this is a fairly new museum that is housed in an interesting building. The look of the building and the exhibitions is modern and attractive. There are some interesting artifacts - for example, the WWI era plane designed to drop torpedoes.

Old and famous prison. You can walk outside and sometimes they do lead groups there. Don't go there when it's dark :D Daytime the walking beside the sea directly is nice thing to do! I do it often :) They say the aura is there very bad. Inside yes it is. Outside it is iconic and if you think how old it is, it's a big history.

The Kopli Streets area is right now iconic place, when you like old ruins. There are some left wooden houses and it is last 1 year, when we have this romantic scene there. In some years, all the big area will be full of new houses.... Right now there is privacy, private beach, sunset, strange old ruins and houses, nature in between. It is an old factory-workers area, until 2010s. Now it's all empty and just perfect spot for strange privacy. Be careful with glass peaces and maybe not the best place in dark time. PS: I usually go onto the beach with my friends to sit, talk, drink cider and play guitar. Beachline is long and nice... Not many tourists get there ;)

Parks & Nature

Bird watching tower in beautiful peninsula. This area is empty and only birds living. Runners and families love the trails, but mostly not so crowded. You can check the tower and get the road until the end of the peninsula, where is the spot you can see the sea from very high... Whole walkign trip takes ca 2 hours. Especially nice in the early mornings.

Kadriorg Park is the most outstanding palatial and urban park in Estonia, covering around 70 hectares. Its construction began in 1718 on the orders of Russian tsar Peter I. Elements of park design from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries can be seen here. The most popular places for a stroll in the park are the flower beds surrounding the Swan Pond and the promenade leading from there to the president's palace. There are a number of museums in the park, including KUMU (the Estonian Art Museum), Kadriorg Art Museum and the Mikkeli Museum, as well as monuments to such cultural figures as sculptor Amandus Adamson, author F. R. Kreutzwald and artist Jaan Koort.

Naissaar - Womens island - is prefect island to go in the morning and come back in the evening. If you admire nature/hiking/walking/private areas. The island has different nature in every sides, it is special beauty in Autumn, when there is red lingonberries and colorful leaves. As it is old navy-island, the nature has taken over the old houses etc militar area. Romantic! If you want to make romance, then go there with boat, take mattress with you, also some snacks, dont walk much, but enjoy the beach area, make memorable conversations :) History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naissaar Tickets: Juku-boat 20 eur per person

Local little beach. Its allowed to swim. Lot of young people go there hanging late at nights or play a guitar. Windy! :) PS: The city wanted to close the area for new buldings, but culture people were strongly against it - so we won! We have opened little beach in the centre of the city.

Getting Around

ca 15-20 eur for 1 bike. Deposit is 100 eur with credit card. Bikes are nice. I recommend mountain bike because of the old town streets are covered with stones...

Entertainment & Activities

Like all TV towers in major world cities, this offers nice views of the surrounding city. However, the special thing here is that you can actually book an experience to walk along the edge of the tower!! Absolutely amazing, there is nothing else quite like it. Feeling the wind in your ears and the tiny movements of the tower back and forth while walking up, this makes you feel really alive.
