Tallinn Escape – Medieval Magic & Nordic Charm

#hellohalloween
Day 1 – Old Town Wonders & Sunset Views
Step into a fairytale as you wander through Tallinn’s Old Town, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval centers. Start at the Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats), where pastel-colored buildings and cobblestone streets tell stories from centuries past. Climb up St. Olaf’s Church Tower or the Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform for sweeping views of terracotta rooftops and the Baltic Sea beyond.
Enjoy lunch at a cozy café tucked along Viru Street, then explore the Toompea Hill area — home to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Toompea Castle, both rich in history and charm. As evening falls, dine at a candlelit medieval tavern and wander the softly lit streets. End your night with a drink at a rooftop bar, watching Tallinn’s skyline shimmer in the northern twilight.
Day 2 – Creative Quarters & Seaside Calm
Start your morning in Telliskivi Creative City, a former industrial area transformed into a hub of art, design, and food. Explore boutique shops, local art galleries, and grab brunch at one of its hip cafés. From there, visit the Seaplane Harbour Museum (Lennusadam) — an interactive maritime museum featuring historic ships and submarines.
In the afternoon, take a relaxing walk or rent a bike along the Kalamaja district, known for its colorful wooden houses and laid-back vibe. As the sun begins to set, head to Kadriorg Park, built by Peter the Great, and visit Kadriorg Palace, a Baroque gem surrounded by serene gardens. For your final evening, enjoy a seafood dinner by the water and toast to Tallinn’s blend of medieval mystery and modern creativity.
