What to expect

  • Behind-the-scenes access (the whole point of Open House)
  • A great excuse to explore neighborhoods beyond Old Town
  • Perfect for people who like details, staircases, and city stories

Planning tips

  • Pick 2–3 must-sees and keep the rest flexible—queues happen.
  • Start early for popular sites and save smaller stops for later.
  • Wear comfortable shoes: you’ll walk a lot between buildings.

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.
