There\u2019s plenty to see and do while you\u2019re in Tallinn but if you\u2019re looking for some of the top hotspots for tourists, here are a few suggestions worth knowing about.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore the old town&nbsp;<\/h3><p>A trip to Tallinn is one that wouldn\u2019t be complete without exploring the old town of Tallinn. It\u2019s always interesting to go to parts of the world that haven\u2019t modernised in the same area of the world that you come from.<\/p><p>Exploring the old town is a little bit like going back several centuries but it\u2019s a worthwhile trip to make in order to see the capital way back when!<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re a fan of marine and maritime museums, then the Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour is worth a visit. It\u2019s a great place to go for the whole family if you find yourself on a holiday with the kids. It\u2019s an interactive exhibition that includes a real submarine that originates from the mid-1930s.<\/p><p>Not only that but there are plenty of other activities from a simulator to two cinemas!<\/p><div style=\"height:\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aleksander Nevski Katedraali<\/h3><p>Another sightseeing opportunity is the Aleksander Nevski Katedraali. This Russian Orthodox Church was built back in 1900 and is named after a Russian hero who battled and defeated the Teutonic Knights.\u00a0This, which happened in the thirteenth century has resulted in an onion-domed church that is worth a visit.<\/p><div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/interrailplanner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beau-swierstra-MjnjWj5ffp4-unsplash-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4269\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@vananaarbeau?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beau Swierstra<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/MjnjWj5ffp4?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tallinn Town Wall<\/h3><p>Another piece of ancient history is the original Tallinn\u2019s city walls. Built back in the 13th century, it became a strong point for the city across three centuries. The defence system of this city relied majorly on these town walls, so it\u2019s definitely a great opportunity to view.<\/p><p>You can even step on a small section of the wall, which is a cool way of being a part of the history.<\/p><div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to eat\/drink in Tallinn<\/h2><p>If you\u2019re someone who is led easily by their stomach, then knowing what grub is the preferred choice by Estonians is worth noting when you visit.<\/p><p>Typically, much of Estonian cuisine includes soup, dark bread and herring. It seems pretty basic but that\u2019s a part of its history of being majorly peasant past. The national dish of this country is the verevost and <a href=\"https:\/\/estoniancuisine.com\/2017\/02\/10\/estonian-style-sauerkraut-with-pork-and-barley-mulgikapsad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mulgikapsad<\/a> which is blood sausage and sauerkraut.<\/p><p>Drinks-wise, Estonians are fans of their drink. If you too share this same love, then beer is the preferred and popular tipple to try. Local brands are A. Le Coq and Saku. There are also some locals that prefer vodka with mixers. If you don\u2019t like alcohol, then Tallinn has plenty of cafes to enjoy local brews of coffee and tea.<\/p><div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to stay in Tallinn<\/h2><p>At the end of a busy day exploring, you\u2019ll want to hit the hay with eagerness. With that in mind, here are some areas in Tallinn that are worth checking out for accommodation.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Old Town<\/h3><p>As mentioned, the Old Town is a great place to explore but is also useful for places to stay. You\u2019ll find plenty of hostels here which is ideal for solo travellers. There are a number of boutique hotels here too to try out.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rotermann Quarter<\/h3><p>Rotermann Quarter is full of activity, so if you\u2019re looking to be amongst the action and would like to indulge, then this is a great place. It\u2019s easy to access for sightseeing, restaurants and public transport.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kalamaja<\/h3><p>Lastly, Kalamaja is a quieter option for those who prefer a local atmosphere rather than a touristy one. It\u2019s useful for those who may be looking for an apartment as accommodation.<\/p><p>Tallinn is a great spot for exploring as a tourist this year, so put it on your list of places to travel.<\/p><div class=\"inter-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" id=\"inter-2186720925\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4633244982126279\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4633244982126279\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"8015293915\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the capital of Estonia, Tallinn is a preferred choice for many tourists from across the world to explore.
