Aside from Copenhagen, Tallinn was an all-day rain as well. We made a huge mistake taking the taxi going to Old Town, driver immediately charged us 20 euros. We lately found out about the app, Bolt (you can also use in St. Petersburg) which is exactly the same as uber/lyft that charges way a LOT less. The taxi driver also dropped us off in the uphill area so it would be much easier for us to walk going back. We didn’t cover that much of Tallinn due to the downpour. We first started on a nice overlooking spot where a sign said “The Times We Had”, and made our way to Old Town, St. Patrick’s, Saint Olaf’s Church but was closed, so we were not able to climb to check out the view. We also went to Balti Jaama Turg Food Market, Telliskivi Creative City & Linnahall. Bolt saved us a lot of time and kept us dry for at least a while. Read Less

This is a great Medieval walled town. It is not, however, just a five minute walk from the dock. It is more along the lines of 30 minutes but it is worth just walking there rather than taking a tour because then you can walk around the streets of the walled town on your own and not have to worry about the tour. We found a great restaurant and had marinated mushrooms and salted cucumbers as well as Estonia's version of Root Beer. Great little shops with neat knitted things. Despite the rain, it was fun.

Nice town, quaint. Bitter cold 5 C. Lovely old houses. It was a German holiday so shops were closed. We walked off the ship and made our own way round it. Read Less

Pretty small port with qaint old city centre. can see all you want while ship is docked Read Less

The old city is very accessible from the ship on foot. We were moved by a museum on the Estonian experience during and after WW2, very well presented. Read Less

Did the Hop on Hop off bus. Read Less

S lovely city we had visited before. Took the hop-on hop-off us to visit the distant Palace gardens and the Rural Museum. The latter was most interesting. Read Less

Loved Tallin would return for a longer holiday Read Less

Such a charming city and very easy to get around from the ship on foot. We had a nice lunch at a restaurant called Progu, that was recommended by a friend of a friend, (Hi ML if you are reading :) ) . It was very good and great atmosphere. Read Less

Not particularly beautiful or interesting Read Less

We just walked into the Old Town (upper and lower) using Rick Steves Baltic Cruise guidebook Tallinn walk to see the highlights. Beautiful medieval town and churches and square. Wonderful felt/textile handmade crafts - available right at the pier front market and in town at the artist studios. Read Less

even the rain could not dampen spirits. Read Less

good tour. Visited Museum of Occupation on our own. Excellent. Dont miss it. Read Less

Tallin was a wonderful port! Easy walking around on your own port. Easy walk from dock to the town. Read Less

Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tallinn is GLORIOUS! Read Less

We took a tour we booked through a private tour company. Tallinn has a long history and is proud of their heritage. The Soviet years were difficult but they are not independent and doing well. The Medieval city within Tallinn is amazing. Read Less

Really liked Tallinn. Very good tour guide. Read Less

Free time at 3 stops, gave a really good experience, could have do with more time in the lower town Read Less

Been 3 times before so walked into the city/town from the dock Read Less

Did a walking tour on our own. It was very easy to walk into town from the port. Went to old town upper and lower . I would only recommend if you do not have any mobility issues as you walk over a lot of cobblestone. Read Less

No need for an excursion as you can do it on your own. We hooked up with a free walking tour in front of the tourist office by the town square. Our guide was entertaining and full of information and interesting facts. She even recommended a wonderful place to have lunch just outside of the old town, Pööbel, where we had a delicious Estonian lunch! Read Less

Beautiful old city but too crowded with tourists due to the number of ships in port on the same day. Read Less

Very quaint and charming small city Read Less

Didn't really need a shore excursion here. Enjoyed the little village and had a nice lunch at an interesting place. Read Less

A informative walking tour of the city and time on our own to explore. Read Less
