I visit Tallinn occasionally on business or pleasure. If I have the time I try to take the traditional walk around the old city, getting a good coffee or beer and sometimes also a good meal in some of the nice restaurants here.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Small & compcat to see most by foot.
Cons:Might be too croweded at weekends and holidays
In a nutshell:Great place for a weekend break.
