Ah, springtime in Tallinn. You’ll be thrilled to know that April and May in this 860-year-old city are usually quite pleasant, weather-wise. The sun is already getting quite warm, there shouldn’t be much rain to speak of, the blossoms and leaves start to make their appearance and the patio furniture slowly folds out onto the cobblestone streets of Old Town. This is especially true on Town Hall Square, where thirsty tourists and sun-starved locals alike clamour for a seat in the warm embrace of our long-lost solar friend.
This edition of Tallinn In Your Pocket is filled from cover to cover with more information on where to stay, what to do, what to see, where to eat (and not eat) and how to spend your nights, than any other guide in the city. As if that weren’t enough, we’ve also added a few new sections to this issue.
We have an overview on the very hot Kalamaja ‘wooden-house’ district, Tallinn for families, the ‘Karja Quarter’ high-end shopping area, Authentic Estonian shopping, and a little write-up on Lahemaa National Park in our Around Tallinn section. We’re committed to bringing the visitor to Tallinn the best information possible in order to make a trip to this medieval city as enjoyable as possible.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a friend, lover, significant other or even a complete stranger that you find compellingly attractive - load your pockets full of memory cards for your digital camera and go find out for yourself what makes this fair city of ours so special.
Not only a print guide, Tallinn In Your Pocket is also available for download as an iPhone app, as a free PDF guide and as a comprehensive and interactive website. We also recently published our first Russian-language mini-guide, with another to follow this summer.
