The 10 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Tallinn, Harju County

June 18, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Tallinn's atmospheric Old Town is an enthralling hodgepodge of medieval streets and spires. It's a small city, and the tourist areas are safe and easily explored on foot. Buy a Tallinn Card if intending to use buses, trolleys or trams. For a look into Tallinn's past, visit Rocca-al-Mare Open Air Museum's typical rural Estonian taverns, windmills and watermills, see the onion-domed 1900 cathedral or join the bustle in historic Town Hall Square. St. Olav's spire was once the tallest in the world.

Food Sightseeing Estonia

Estonian history is full of crossing with other cultures which all have left their traces to our country, culture, and cuisine - making it an interesting blend of East and West with strong Nordic roots. A Nordic country with a twist... Food Sightseeing Estonia is providing food tours in Tallinn and also elsewhere in Estonia. Our food tours combine classical sightseeing with various typical for Estonia and for the region food & drink stops en route. We offer 3 types of tours: a) scheduled daily food tours during high-season (on Fridays-Saturdays during low-season), b) private food tours operating year round based on requests, c) tailor made activities (incentive programs for pre-, post-conference and spouse tours, tailor made programs for corporations, and FAM trips). Our food tours combine two great things that'll make every trip unique - you'll have a chance to discover the real soul of the city with the locals, and get to feel, taste and know Estonia through its kitchen.

You are planning to visit Tallinn in your stag weekend or would just like to spend a fun day in Tallinn? There are many activities to do in Tallinn. We are different and push the limits! We make extreme activities! We have the best paintball area in Tallinn - an abandoned red army military base. If you need more than regular paintball then choose motor paintball and use cars as tanks. Our top activity is demolition derby!

Reviewed By antonp224

The entire area of former military base is well "decorated" using old military equipment and trucks. There are multiple custom-built cars, which are used for different motor paintball missions. Motor paintball is definitely a must-try experience for those who like traditional paintball! Moreover, staff is very friendly and funny. Overall, surely one of the best paintball experiences in Tallinn!

Tallinn Museum of Orders of Knighthood

If you like history, mythology, jewellery and design, or are a serious scholar of phaleristics - be sure to plan a visit to the Tallinn Museum of Orders of Knighthood. Among our most prized possessions are decorations of the Orders of the Garter, the Golden Fleece, Malta, Black Eagle and the Legion of Honour. The museum introduces visitors to the history of various Orders of Chivalry by presenting their exquisite badges, stars and collars - true masterpieces of art and craftsmanship, often lavishly decorated with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. Many are of an immense historical value as they once belonged to emperors, princes and princesses, famous military commanders, presidents, and politicians. Highlights of the collection include the Order of the White Eagle which belonged to Russian Emperor Peter the Great, insignia of the Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie and Britain’s Princess Mary’s star of the Order of the British Empire and many others.

As a history buff, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the Orders of Knighthood from across the world. I got an easy to use audio guide as part of the entry fee. This goes for over an hour. So you may want to skp this, you don't really need it as signs are written in English.

Wow, in my top 3 best escape room experiences (out of some 30 I've visited in Helsinki, Tallin & Budapest!). Loved it all the way from the reception to the last minute breaking out. Totally movie-like atmosphere, large complex with lots of different spaces within the single escape room session, masterful and creative engineering solutions and dark humor, what more could we ask for. Just go there!
