We recorded this 4k ultra hd video during our trip to Tallinn, Estonia on July 2024.
Tallinn is situated on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, making it a significant port city throughout history. Its strategic location has made it a crossroads of cultures and trade between Scandinavia, Russia, and Europe.
Home to over 430,000 people, Tallinn is the cultural, economic, and political heart of Estonia. Its well-preserved medieval core is a testament to its rich past, while a thriving modern city buzzes just beyond its ancient walls.
Tallinn's history stretches back to the 13th century when it was known as Reval. It became a vital trading hub as part of the Hanseatic League, bringing wealth and influence to the city. You'll see evidence of this prosperous era in its architecture and layout.
Like Tallinn, Tallinn has experienced periods of rule by various powers, including Denmark, Sweden, and Russia. Estonia declared its independence in 1918 but was later occupied by the Soviet Union for much of the 20th century. It regained its independence in 1991.
Travel Tip: Tallinn is a fantastic year-round destination, but the summer months (June-August) offer the warmest weather for exploring. However, the winter months have a unique charm with Christmas markets and a snowy landscape.
Exploring Tallinn's Old Town is best done on foot, as its narrow, winding streets are pedestrian-friendly. Public transportation, including buses and trams, is efficient for reaching other parts of the city. Consider getting a Tallinn Card for free public transport and discounts on attractions.
Tallinn is known for being a safe city for tourists. However, it's always wise to be aware of your surroundings. English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas and among younger generations.
