Finland’s capital Helsinki is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city. Even with just one day we were able to get a flavour of the city, from its bustling urban life to tranquil spaces. There are art galleries, cool museums and cool cafes. And yes, there are Moomins.
The ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki is a great way to experience two capital cities in a short time, and to experience a little bit of the Finnish culture (without the costs of a stay in expensive Helsinki!). A two hour ferry ride each way makes it possible to weave into most Tallinn itineraries.
We discovered the best of Tallinn in just 48 hours, exploring the medieval Old Town, trendy Telliskivi, and other attractions. We even managed a quick day trip to Helsinki! Here are my tips and recommendations to help you plan a similar Tallinn adventure!
A vibrant creative hub with street art and taprooms, make sure Telliskivi Creative City is on your Tallinn itinerary!
