Creator's Key Takeaways

I originally planned to take the day off filming, but I couldn't help myself - Tallinn was SO beautiful I just couldn't help myself!

It's about a 30-minute walk from the port to the old town, and the terminal is actually very nice here.

One thing I can tell you I'm not doing is if people are standing outside of their empty restaurant asking you to go eat there... don't go to the one where someone's telling you to go eat there. Go find somewhere else. Trust me, it's probably empty for a reason.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't buy magnets near famous tourist spots (they cost €14 vs €4 elsewhere)

✓Avoid restaurants with staff actively soliciting customers outside

✓Explore on foot to discover hidden courtyards and viewpoints

✓Book a longer stay if possible - the city deserves more time

Safety of independent exploration — Very safe and walkable - no excursions needed, just explore on foot

Finding authentic dining — Avoid tourist traps; look for restaurants with actual customers, not solicitors

Time management in port — 30-minute walk to old town; plan for at least 4-5 hours to explore properly

It's day 11 of 12 on my solo Eastern European Baltic cruise on the Norwegian Dawn and we are docked in Tallinn, Estonia today! I originally planned to take the day off filming, but I couldn't help myself - Tallinn was SO beautiful I just couldn't help myself! I explored the old town on foot, walking along charming cobblestone streets, incredible architecture, historic landmarks, medieval fairytale alleyways and hidden courtyards and loved every moment of my exploring! I can't wait to go back for a longer visit!
