The Old Town of Tallinn transforms into a magical wonderland in winter. In this video, I share places that you can visit in the Old Town if you visit for less than 8 hours. This video is jam-packed with activities (expect a lot of climbing) and some super yummy spots (to get all these calories back, of course). Also, I’ll be sharing a little more context about each place and some practical tips so that you have fun whilst exploring this wonderful city in winter.

Hi, thank you so much for this lovely winter visit of the old town of Tallinn. Keep up the great work you are doing….
Hi , I regularly watch your videos about Tallin, I was in Tallin's old city today (11th March ) while it was snowing alot, it's really awesome to Rome around the streets of Old City while snowing 👍 and if you have shot this video today itself then unfortunately I missed the chance of becoming part of your video While exploring the Old City 🙂.
Great video. It's a season I really want to see in Tallinn. What boots do you wear in the snow?
Polly, your videos are the BEST! We love them! We are expats who moved here last August and we use your videos as our own personal guides to Tallinn.
Tallinn is next on my bucket list to visit…
Count down to next month – can’t wait for flat white coffee, pastries & discovering history!!! Thanks for your content!
Hi Polly,
I have 1 quick question.
I love your videos on Tallinn, you mention booking The Tallinn Card which i have now done (i come with my best mate in late May for a week).
My question is:
Is The ICOM International Museums Card widely accepted at major Museums, Art Galleries and Attractions in Tallinn or would u stick primarily to The Tallinn Card?
Secondly do you run private walking history tours of Tallinn yourself if so i would be very interested.
Beautiful city! Great video! L77. New subscriber here!
How fantastic is that eveyhing is forzen and there is noone to be seen!
These videos are too rosy to be authentic. I bet this uber-enthusiast sugar addict lady has received a fat check from Estonian tourist office.
By God I was feeling so so bad since 3-4 days and your video just removed it and I'm feeling super Cool again ❤🤗🎉 really Love You My Friend 🫂 I'll meet you once I'm in Estonia ❤
Beautiful ❤❤. May I ask, is a permit required for Drone use?
Lovely!!❤
