Tallinn
Step back in time in Tallinn
Tallinn’s paved alleys, piercing steeples and barrel-shaped towers are straight out of a fairy tale.
It isn’t a city preserved in aspic though: gleaming cafés and bars contribute to a restless energetic atmosphere, and year round cultural attractions and a great club culture make it the perfect city for a weekend break.

| Academic | Away from the tumult of downtown Tallinn, the Academic Hostel is a fine budget base. Spick and span, this new hostel lies in a residential area on the town’s outskirts. |
| Hotel Saku Rock | Hotel Saku Rock is located just a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town. And due to its connections with the Saku Brewery, the hotel is the best place for young beer and rock-loving people. |
| Scandic St. Barbara | For a central hotel with some character, the Scandic St. Barbara occupies an ideal position, just two minutes from the Old Town. Safe and comfortable, this is a fine mid-range place with its own restaurant. |
