I was in Tallinn, Estonia for a day, on my way to Helsinki. I took the bus from Riga to Tallinn. The bus ride was comfortable and it was only €10. It took about 4 hours. I took Bolt from the bus station to my hotel. It was a good ride and cheap. My hotel was at the edge of old town. I stayed at Nunne Boutique Hotel. The hotel was fantastic! My room was very clean. It was within walking distance to the history, restaurants, a grocery store. The hotel staff were exceptional! Super friendly and helpful. Everyone that I came into contact with in the city was friendly except one clerk at the grocery store. I’ll assume she had a long day since I got there in the evening. Anyway, I had a great time wandering streets of old town, taking pictures of the city, and finding chocolates!
I echo the other reviewer – I didn’t experience any blatant racism. In fact, I didn’t even notice anyone taking pictures of me. Maybe I’m not that interesting….
Tallinn, Estonia is a medieval city that will surprise you! There are castles in the middle of the city, cobble stone streets, and delicious traditional dishes. I spent 2 days there and cannot recommend this hidden gem enough!
Since this country is less touristy than Western European countries, locals may be intrigued by Black travelers. I found that locals were excited to see new faces but weren’t in your face asking for pictures or anything like that. I didn’t experience any form of subtle or blatant racism. All are welcome in Estonia!
Things to do:
-Explore the medieval town walls surrounding Old Town
-Snap panoramic photos from Toompea Hill.
-Visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
-Climb up St. Olaf’s Church, which is the city’s largest medieval building
-Walk around Town Hall Square
-Eat at an authentic medieval tavern called Draakon!
