Each individual company is free to design its own space as it sees fit. It is an excellent opportunity to get a taste of the local cultural life and hang out in places far from the masses of tourist buses that roam the narrow streets of the center. Telliskivi is located near the railway station and has given a new face to the ugly abandoned Soviet factories that surround the area. If you do not want to walk or cycle you can reach this district with trams number 1 and 2 from the center, the bus stop is called Telliskivi.
Telliskivi is an ideal place to spend the evening hours after a long day at the museum. Linnahall is an imposing Soviet relic, built to house the Moscow Summer Olympics in The Linnahall of Estonia now stands as an imposing concrete ghastly monster. Inside, an impressive 5,seat amphitheater was commissioned by the Soviet Union to show the world its grandeur.
The building was built in a very short time and, no longer serving anything after the Olympics, it was left to deteriorate. Going up the outside steps you will have a nice view of the sea and the old city.
Only the external part can be accessed. Locals hang out here for skating, playing music, and other activities. A nice place to stop by for a quick visit.
It is a medieval tower from which you can access a series of underground tunnels. Built in the second half of the fifteenth century it was then expanded in the eighteenth century with these tunnels that served to give shelter to men and ammunition.

We had dinner here and can highly recommend their bruschetta board and chicken shashlik. They also have their own craft beer and lemonades.

Everything we ate here was absolutely delicious including fresh octopus, trout served with beetroot salsa and caviar, and a zucchini carpaccio for a starter.

I truly enjoyed reading your post. I am now debating either I should visit Tallin any time soon or not and your post inspires me to.

So, if you need inspiration on what to do in Tallinn, then read on for my full guide on the best things to do in Tallinn.
Before traveling anywhere, make sure you have your travel insurance in place. We recommend SafetyWing. Like many other places in Europe , we found that autumn was a wonderful time to visit Tallinn.
You can get cheap flights across mainland Europe, and you can visit from international destinations too. I suggest you use Skyscanner to find the best deals on flights to Tallinn. Or, you can do what Bradley and I did and road trip to Tallinn. Estonia is a small but mighty country with beautiful sights to see. We picked our Tinggly campervan from Lithuania and travelled to Estonia via our Baltic road trip.
Or you can get a ferry from Sweden and Helsinki Finland! Tallinn really is one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe , and is the perfect place for a city break.
So I suggest you spend at least 3 nights there! If you decide to rent a car and explore the surrounding areas of Tallinn, then I recommend you check out Jagala Waterfall. This is one of my favourite spots in all of Tallinn because this cathedral is a work of art, both inside and out! You can get a good shot of this cathedral from every angle, but really stand and appreciate the beautiful architecture on show.
This Art Museum is just as famous for its outside as well as inside! This spot is a real treat in the summer when the gardens are in full bloom with beautiful colours. You can easily access the area by walking from the Old Town which will take about 35 minutes , or you can opt for public transport to get you there. The Old Town of Tallinn is bursting with amazing places to eat and dine. With more time, you can take your Tallinn trip beyond the historic city center and explore some different, interesting parts of the city.
Just to the east of Old Town lies the recently renewed Rotermann Quarter. Long an industrial area with factories, the area has been gentrified with fascinating modern architecture. With its converted and redesigned buildings, this commercial area is becoming a cultural hotspot. Compared to the old houses in the center, their colorful and humble nature feel like they give you a better idea of what life was like for people almost a hundred years ago.
Today though, it houses the Kadriorg Art Museum. You could also do a day trip outside the city. For some ideas check out our guide to the best day trips from Tallinn.
