The Tallinn City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where to eat well once you step off Town Hall Square, which viewpoints on Toompea are worth the climb, where the city drinks behind unmarked doors and how to reach a flooded quarry, a bog or Helsinki for the day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Pelmen kohvik
Vana-Viru 4-8, edge of Old Town
A cafe that cooks like a Soviet canteen, in the best sense: dumplings filled with duck, salmon or potato, borscht with smoked meat and herring with potato cakes. Portions are generous and prices low for the centre. From the food guide.
Patkuli Viewing Platform
Toompea, Rahukohtu tn
A few steps from the busy Kohtuotsa platform, yet usually quiet. It faces north over the park and the harbour to the Baltic, and on a clear day you can follow the Helsinki ferries. Free. From the things to do guide.
RUMMU
Rummu, about 1 hour by bus
An old limestone quarry flooded with turquoise water, with the ruins of a Soviet prison half sunk into it. In a hard winter the lake freezes and you can walk on the ice beside the walls. From the day trips guide.
From the game straight into the guide
World City Trail’s Tallinn scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the medieval Old Town. The guides carry on from there: pancakes at Pub Kompressor, a craft beer in Telliskivi, a tram out to Kadriorg Park or a session at Kalma Saun to warm up.
