We are planning a day on our own in Tallinn, any tips for a lunch except Old Hansa? As we are there in summer I think my family would prefer to sit outside. Based on what I read so far there should be some restaurants/breweries on the main square. Is there any beer gardens somewhere in the center? This should lovely I was thinking the same thing, lunch somewhere more casual. And a brewery would be awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a restaurant called Beer Garden but it is not your typical German style Beer Garden (it is not located in the historic center of old town - although it is not far from the center of old town) - you can check it out here: http://beergarden.ee/en/?utm_source=tripadvisor&utm_medium=referral Lots of nice choices in the historic center along Pikk St. and in Raekoja plats (old town square).

Most important is outside seating (given that the weather is nice of course 😄) and good food, ideally with a glass of beer 😀 Good choice IMHO. You will find lots of options with outdoor seating & good food (+beer, of course). Edited February 27, 2020 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagerta Posted March 25, 2020 #66 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Oh that's so interesting! this is Riga's square and I think they are quite alike! Many little European towns have similar architecture so sometimes it's hard to distinguish for a foreign person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezu Posted April 26, 2020 #67 Share Posted April 26, 2020 5 hours ago, Oliver Hansen said: This is true, many cities in Europe have something in common when it comes to the architecture. If I am not mistaken, the cities like Riga or Tallinn used to belong to Germany in the past, at least it looks like medieval Germany, or maybe Sweden. So lovely! It is more complex than this: for example Tallinn's historical affiliations are Kingdom of Denmark, Teutonic Order, Livonian Order (these two have roots in Germany), Kingdom of Sweden, Tsardom of Russia, Russian Empire, Russian Republic, Russian Soviet Republic, Republic of Estonia, Ober Ost (~ German Empire, during WW I), Republic of Estonia, Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR, German military administration, Reichskommissariat Ostland (during WW II), USSR and finally the independent Republic of Estonia again. Also Tallinn (and Riga) was member of the Hanseatic league, which was a mercantile and military alliance of German-dominated cities in Northern Europe.

strathcona Posted May 10, 2020 #68 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Do a search on the internet for self guided walking tour map of Tallinn. Do it yourself, the cruise port is very close to the gate of the wall city. Once inside, you can stroll around, look at the buildings that you are interested in or not. Caffe are plentiful and you can stop at any shops without being on a structure group. Save your money and spend it on lunch at the former KGB headquarter now a café.
