What's on today

The autumn trough for foreign visitors

1 Sep – 18 Nov 2026

September, October and the first half of November are the emptiest months for foreign visitors. The cruise ships stop calling, daylight is going quickly, and there is no school holiday. Prices are at their lowest and the Old Town is walkable at any hour.

How to avoid the worst of it today

Toompea hill Morning Climb Pikk jalg, look out from Kohtuotsa and come down by Lühike jalg.
Katariina käik and the lanes Afternoon The narrow lane and the streets around it can be walked slowly when nothing has just docked.
Raekoja plats Evening In summer the square is ringed by terraces, and on a quiet day there is room at them.

Where the crowds are

The Viru Gate passage: Two stone towers with one passage between them, and it is the main way in.
Katariina käik: A covered lane about two metres wide, walked in both directions at once.
Pikk jalg and Lühike jalg: These two narrow climbs are the only sensible walking routes up to Toompea.
The walk in from the Old City Harbour: A ferry or a cruise ship puts a block of people on the same street at the same minute.

Quiet places in Tallinn

The Old Town before nine: Inside the walls the early hour is the emptiest part of a summer day.
Telliskivi Loomelinnak: Old railway workshops west of the station, well outside the walls.
