Where
Cinemas and venues across Tallinn (see program)
Ticketed screenings and passes.
What to expect
- A deep lineup (you can do one film or build a whole week around it)
- Great solo-travel activity: one screening at a time
- A strong excuse to visit in November (when daylight is short)
Planning tips
- Start with one film at a central venue—don’t over-plan your first night.
- Check subtitle/language notes before buying tickets.
- If you’re doing multiple screenings, stay near the main cinema cluster to reduce travel time.
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.
