Make the most of the city

With at least three days here, there's plenty to explore between sessions — from the medieval Old Town to the buzzing Telliskivi creative quarter.

A UNESCO-listed medieval centre — cobbled streets, towers and viewpoints, minutes from the hotel. A guided Old Town tour is planned for Saturday.

Telliskivi quarter

Tallinn's creative hub. Great food at F-Hoone, Lendav Taldrik and Kivi Paber Käärid, plus craft-beer spots like Põhja Konn and Pudel Bar.
