Where
Citywide (official ceremonies vary by year)
Public events are typically free; details vary by year.
What to expect
- A meaningful date to experience Tallinn beyond the postcard Old Town
- A ‘city in ceremony mode’ feeling
- Good context for changed opening hours and transport
Planning tips
- Double-check opening hours—holiday schedules vary.
- Dress warmly: late February can be icy and windy.
- If crowds aren’t your thing, plan a calm Old Town morning and keep the rest flexible.
Build a day around it
Tallinn event days feel best when they stay simple: one event block, one food anchor, and one walk — with buffer so nothing feels rushed.
- If you have 2–3 hours: arrive early → event → short Old Town / viewpoint loop.
- If you’re making a full day: one museum/neighborhood block + event + a calm evening plan.
- If the weather turns: keep walking minimal and use cafés/museums as your buffer.
Before you go
- Confirm the details: check the official link for last-minute schedule or venue updates.
- Arrive with buffer: 15–30 minutes early usually makes the whole experience calmer.
- Have a weather plan: keep one indoor “warm stop” in mind in case the day turns.
