Have you found your way to the legendary Cat’s Well? What about Tallinn’s famous apothecary, running since 1422? Or the church that used to be the tallest building in the world? In a city that’s so packed with historic sights and curious tales, it’s vital to have someone guide you through it all … and better still, to show you interesting areas off the beaten path that few tourists get to see. Howewer It’s one thing to get to know the city by taking a sightseeing tour, it’s another to put on a suit of armour and storm a castle, become a medieval-era merchant for a day or get interrogated by KGB prison guards. Tallinn offers all of these opportunities, and more!
National Customs & Traditions
Tallinn may be a cutting-edge city, but scratch any modern Estonian city-dweller and you’ll find an old-fashioned villager underneath. The heart of every true Estonian lies in the nation’s rural past, with its centuries-old traditions, particularly those involving folk song, folk dance, and colourful national dress. These customs are a treasured part of the Estonian identity, and participating in them is an experience a visitor will won’t soon forget. A bowl of hearty, Estonian pea soup won’t go amiss either!

Culinary Arts
Estonians are proud of their rich cooking traditions, which stem from ancient village life. But lately they’ve also been exploring the gourmet end of the culinary spectrum, incorporating cutting-edge modern cuisine and fine wine, and even getting back to their roots with that most ancient of Tallinn delicacies – marzipan. So grab your fork and dig in! Bon appétit, or as we say here, head isu!

Nature-friendly & Tech-savvy
While Tallinn is very much a bustling capital city, it’s also the gateway to the rest of Estonia, a relatively untouched land that’s rich in natural beauty, a place where elk, lynx and bear still roam. Within just a couple hours’ drive from the capital there are dense forests, rugged cliffs, centuries-old manor houses and a host of other wonders, both natural and man-made.
While picking mushrooms or camping you can log on and download information about nature walk tours to your personal mobile. With Estonian’s emergence as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world, Estonia enjoys a wide range of e-solutions that most of Europe can only dream about. Although we are very switched-on and tech-savvy population, you can rest assured that here you’ll find one of the most secluded and peaceful spots on Earth.

Wellness
Unwinding and de-stressing is something Estonians have known about for generations. In fact, since as far back as the 1800s, health spas in the country’s coastal towns have been attracting everyone from Russian tsars to Swedish pensioners. Nowadays the practice continues as a number of modern, luxury health resorts operating in and around Tallinn offer countless ways to relax. More recently, the booming popularity of new golf courses in Estonia has made day out on the links another option for rest and leisure.
