Where
TAB venues across Tallinn (see official programme)
Mix of free and ticketed events (varies by programme).
What to expect
- A great reason to visit if you like contemporary cities and ideas
- Busy opening-week energy (best concentration of events)
- Easy to combine with neighborhood walks and café stops between talks
Planning tips
- Skim the programme and pick one ‘anchor’ talk or opening event, then keep the rest optional.
- Some venues have limited capacity—arrive a bit early for popular sessions.
- If you’re visiting beyond opening week, check the TAB site for what continues into October/November.
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.
