How to travel to Tallinn, Estonia.
(Enjoying the stunning views of the old town.)
If you happen to be travelling around the Nordics or the Baltics, it’s very easy to travel to Estonia.
Especially if you happen to be travelling from Helsinki, Finland, as they have frequent ferry routes connecting the two cities together.
(I took the Eckeröline connection from Helsinki, Finland.)
Eckeröline offers a frequent service connecting Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia.
This makes it a fun trip if you wish to fly into one city, then out of the other or combine a visit to both cities which is totally possible and a popular option for many travellers.
Many budget airlines also fly to Tallinn, Estonia from around Europe and you can also grab a bus from Riga, Latvia which connects the Baltic route.
Many travelling options to choose from when visiting Estonia.

Day 2: Exploring the old town of Tallinn, Estonia.

A trip to Tallinn wouldn’t be complete unless you spend some time exploring the old town of Tallinn.

Enjoy exploring the cobbled streets and getting lost!
Bonus: try one of these local treats.
(An Estonian tasty treat that’s worth trying.)
I asked my local Estonian friend what would be typical and unique to try from Estonia.
She sort of went blank and couldn’t think of anything.
Then out of nowhere I got a text message telling me to try one of these treats.
It’s typically only found in Estonia. You can grab one for yourself by going to the dairy section of any Estonian supermarket and they will set you back around €0.20 each.
It’s like eating a mini cheesecake. I liked the honey version, for sure worth a try for something local and unique to Estonia.
