City Guide

Instagrammable Places in Tallinn

Tallinn’s most photogenic spots: Old Town rooftops, Toompea viewpoints, medieval gates, Kadriorg elegance, Telliskivi street art, and Baltic Sea light at sunset.

Old Town Rooftops & Lanes

Tallinn’s Old Town is basically a set: textures, arches, towers, and tiny streets that look great in any light.

Start your photo walk at Viru Gate and aim for quieter lanes off the main flow.

The Two Viewpoints to Prioritize

Tip: go early morning for fewer people, or golden hour for warm roofs.

Kadriorg Elegance + Telliskivi Grit

For contrast:

  • Kadriorg gives you park paths and refined architecture.
  • Telliskivi gives you street art and modern Tallinn cool.

Baltic Sea Light

For moody, minimalist shots, take an evening walk by the water — Pirita for open sea, or Noblessner for marina lines.
