Why It’s Fun

Tallinn already feels medieval — Medieval Days turns that vibe into a themed festival with programming that often includes performances, crafts, and activities in/around Old Town.

It’s a great match if you want a summer trip that feels atmospheric without needing a detailed itinerary.

How to Plan a Medieval Days Visit

  • Go earlier in the day for a calmer experience
  • Use the festival as a reason to wander deeper into Old Town lanes
  • Balance it with one non-Old Town neighborhood day (Telliskivi/Kalamaja or Kadriorg)
