Romantic Tallinn: 5 ideas what to do together

A short stroll through the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Tallinn is a delightful experience for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts and those who simply enjoy a stroll. The picturesque cobblestone streets of Lühike Jalg, Vaimu Street, and St Catherine's Passage add to the romantic atmosphere of the visit. For an unforgettable experience, grab your loved one's hand and head to Kohtuotsa viewing platform to catch the sunrise.

Worth knowing! The winding streets of the Old Town are lined with charming cafés and restaurants, each one cosier than the last. Explore the medieval buildings and courtyards, where you will find museums with fascinating themes that range from photography to music to natural sciences.

A must-have for any classic date is cultural experience, such as a visit to the cinema, a theatre performance or a concert that will set your hearts racing. You can find events in our event calendar.

A relaxing spa visit will undoubtedly elevate the atmosphere of your romantic getaway. Tallinn's high-end spas and water parks offer dual massages or treatments, allowing you to enjoy the perks of pools and saunas together.

However, if you are looking for something a bit more private and special, you can find great ideas from craft studios and shops in Tallinn. Why not learn to make chocolate truffles together, craft a nice leather accessory or even paint?

Museums in Tallinn also make for an interesting escape. It's difficult to find a better place to spend quiet time together and converse, with a world-class masterpiece or a scientific discovery in the background.

Enjoy romantic vibes in the capital all year round! Sleigh rides at the Estonian Open Air Museum and playful pirouettes at one of Tallinn's many ice rinks are ideal winter activities.

A stroll through Kadriorg Park is a must. What could be more romantic than wandering together through the winding park alleys, admiring the authentic Tsarist palace, swan-filled pond and Estonia's largest rose garden while spending quality time together? The park is particularly beautiful in the spring and autumn.

Long summer evenings can be spent relaxing on the sandy beach or on the pier, admiring the sunset. Several small harbours in Tallinn offer a variety of activities that are tailored for two people, such as a boat ride on the Pirita River.

Weather permitting, rent bikes (or even a tandem bike) for a delightful ride along Tallinn’s meandering coastline.

Tallinn's restaurants have something for everyone. Whether by the seaside, within historic villas, surrounded by medieval charm, or in seemingly ordinary locales with that mysterious je ne sais quoi – each dining experience is a top-tier culinary experience.

Choose your favourites from among Tallinn’s best restaurants or opt for plant-based meals. Additionally, explore our list of food places, where you can sort restaurants by location or cuisine.

A perfect way to end the day is with a stroll along the Pirita promenade, Reidi Road or perhaps down Kalaranna Street to Noblessner Seafront Quarter. Here, you can admire the breath-taking sunset over the Tallinn Bay, whether from the pier or the various cafés dotting the area.

If you prefer to stay indoors, beautiful city views await you from various landmarks, such as the tower of Niguliste Church, Tallinn TV Tower or the panoramic windows of Skywheel. On warmer days, head to the rooftop terrace of Fat Margaret Tower or Fotografiska, where, depending on the season, you can enjoy refreshing snacks and drinks while taking in the scenic surroundings.

Extra tip! During the summer, several travel agencies offer romantic cruises on Tallinn Bay or day trips to nearby islands. See our website for the full list. This is the ideal way to see the iconic view of Tallinn’s skyline.
