Pirita

Pirita is Tallinn’s seaside escape: promenade walks, beach energy, and an easy place to breathe — plus nearby sights like the Pirita convent ruins.

The Pirita Vibe

Pirita feels open and airy — long sea views and a calmer, resort-like rhythm compared to the Old Town.

It’s where Tallinn becomes a seaside city: promenade walks, beach pauses, and wide skies. If your trip has been all cobblestones and museums, Pirita is the reset button.

Best Things to Do in Pirita

An Easy Pirita Half‑Day Plan

A simple plan that works in almost any season:

  • Start with a long promenade walk
  • Choose one anchor: TV Tower or Convent Ruins
  • Finish with a calm meal back in the center (Old Town or Rotermann)

Best Time to Go

Late afternoon into sunset is ideal — you get softer light and a calmer pace.

Summer is peak beach mood, but spring and early autumn can be incredible for a windy, dramatic seaside walk.
