6 Things To Know About the Old Town of Tallinn, Estonia | Travel Guide 2023

Today I'll share my favourite 6 things to see and do in the Old Town of Tallinn. I sit down with Cedrick to learn more about the beginnings of the medieval Tallinn and how the Hanseatic League has transformed this city, which is going to be dope. I also share with you 5 activities that you can do in the Old Town that are super fun.
This is a very special episode. Tallinn is my hometown and after about 13 episodes that I've shot in collaboration with the local tourist group, I've gathered tons of material and met awesome people who are as passionate about Tallinn as I am. I hope you will fall in love with this city as much as I have.
Can't recommend enough joining the Tales of Reval medieval tour in the Old Town (It's free and it's super fun).

I get it, KZbin video making can be a grind, the constant editing, planning and travel and fingers crossed a video idea works well enough and gets lots of views and likes, but I do miss y’all’s amazing videos and chemistry, you two are always a pleasure to watch. I’m sure things are fine and life gets busy for sure, but if I ever see a new Polly video it’ll bring a big, happy smile to my face and warm my soul. No matter what tho, I hope you are enjoying your lives and embracing all the good things to see and do in this beautiful world of ours. It’s been over a year now, and I don’t mean “where is the next video” but think of it this way: your videos have impacted me in such a way that even over a year later I’m still thinking about you guys. Anyways cheers for now and hope you have a lovely 2024 year! ❤🎉😊

Hej, what a lovely comment, it almost made me tear up! Thanks for checking on us, we both are alive and well, just working on the @VisitTallinn KZbin channel non stop and we have plenty of videos with me up there 😅. Hopefully once the summer season is over (and all the filming is done) we get some time off and perhaps travel with our cameras again! Thanks so much for your kind words!

[@Giahomemadeproductions]

Great video! Well done!!

[@StarlordStavanger]

Ah man I was literally thinking this morning about when a new Polly video might drop and here one is! I'm in the US, so the closest I've ever been to Estonia was when I visited Iceland, but Estonia is definitely on my travel list. One of my favorite rally drivers Ott Tanak is from Estonia too. Small world sometimes! Anyways I should probably click play on this video now, but just wanted to say thank you for making my weekend filled with more Classic Polly excitement!

[@ClassicPolly]

Yeah Ott is making us proud for sure, I believe he just won #RallySweden so everyone was going crazy over here. Well next time in Europe make sure to pop in to Estonia:)

Thank you for the info, both here and the Visit Tallinn page! Been there this summer, coming back in 2024. Guess I'll need to rent a bile for the old town. Doubt my tt bike (a.k.a. "the spaceship") will be happy with the cobblestones! :D

[@ClassicPolly]

Thank you for such a lovely comment. Glad you enjoyed Tallinn. Yeah, for the Old Town, I would rather rent a bike- it's a bit of a bumpy ride and you don't want to ruin your TT bike ;)

[@sezaku85]

Landing in Tallinn in a few hours. I'm excited thanks to your videos!

[@ClassicPolly]

Awesome to hear, hope you will enjoy your time here! If you will need some more Tallinn info I actually make videos for the local tourism board (@VisitTallinn). Might be helpful :)

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Classic Polly has produced a classic video - great stuff.

[@neklamp2431]

Beautiful city!!!

[@ClassicPolly]

Cheers Nek! The more I learn about it, the more I like it!

[@charlesruiz2000]

Great work as always! Thank you for sharing.

[@Isadailylife]

very informative and well made video about beautiful town.

[@ClassicPolly]

Thank you my dear! He more I travel the more I cherish our beautiful Old Town!

[@sylviekins]

Thank you! We may be going to Helsinki from Sydney Australia next year. Visiting Tallinn (and more of Estonia) sounds like something we would really enjoy!❤ Now I have watched the whole video, we MUST go, wonderful! Your enthusiasm is infectious❤Subscribed.

[@ClassicPolly]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's pretty usual that people who visit Helsinki pop to Tallinn for a day or two and vice versa. Since Tallinn is my hometown, I'm a lil biased so I would recommend to stay for a 2-3 days at least.

[@helenhogsten2445]

really nice canel, so nice to listen to you and your exitment, just love it

[@welltravelledlife]

Great footage of a city we adore. Cedric is a total hit! Fun to find your channel. Love your editing style and this is a great travel guide. Hmmm...what was it about the WWII exhibit at the bastion that you didn't appreciate?

[@bernie2843]

Just watched this and your Christmas market video after booking flights and hotel in Tallinn for 2023. Thank you for your efforts. Your videos have so much enthusiasm and colour which is missing in other video producers. We now cannot wait for December.

[@ClassicPolly]

Awww thanks so much for such a sweet message. Excited about your trip to Tallinn, let's hope it will be a snowy one. Get plenty of warm clothes :)

Great video!😎

Hi Girl, found and subscribed to your channel 🤗

[@ClassicPolly]

Hey hey!

[@almostideal1306]

My biggest thing about the old city is be warned with the cobblestones. Pack a pair of walking boots, your feet will love you for it.

[@ClassicPolly]

100% agree!

[@almostideal1306]

@@ClassicPolly ngl I Went to Tallinn on the off chance and it took me 10 min to fall head over heels in love with the city :D

[@bikecommuter24]

Nice As a bicyclist is Tallinn bicycle friendly or do you ride at your own risk. I take it is like some cities you got good areas and challenging areas for cycling.

[@martennagel3124]

It's pretty bad. I won't get into details but it isn't well coordinated

[@ClassicPolly]

I believe Tallinn is like any big city out there where some rounds are more manageable than others. The good bit is that TLN is pretty small and it literally takes about 50 on a bicycle to cycle from one side of the city to another:)

[@ruff1draft]

Where are you these days dear lady. Are you stding photography in this lovely city

[@ClassicPolly]

Hey, I'm alive, thanks for checking on me! I'm just working hard on the @VisitTallinn youtube channel 😅

[@ruff1draft]

@@ClassicPolly Oh that is brilliant. Glad to know that you are alive and well. Was worried about you.

Stayed for 2 days and climbed all the towers and walls, but did not find the under ground world.
