Travel to Estonia – A Brief Introduction to the City of Tallinn
If you are planning a trip to Tallinn, Estonia you must know how to get there and what to do there. Free international air travel to Tallinn is now possible through Eesti Airlines, which is one of the most reliable international airlines of Estonia and neighboring Baltic countries. From non-Eestian countries with a high occurrence rate of over 150 cases per 100,000 residents in the past two months, you are free to travel to Tallinn if you take a negative PCR-type test result up to 48 hours before your scheduled departure. The rate of contamination is very low in Tallinn, so you will not need to worry about catching a transmittable virus or bacteria in some way.
The climate of Tallinn is sub-tropical with hot summers and cold winters. Spring is the best time to visit the city, as well as from October to June. In summer, temperatures reach the eighty-degree mark, but humidity does not seem to be a problem. However, if you plan to visit the monuments and buildings in autumn, spring, or June, then these are best avoided. Traveling by road is also possible, though a much tougher task. You may need a vehicle that is able to carry you and your equipment, as well as a driver who can take you to all the important places in and around Tallinn.
Traveling by road is the preferred way of travel to Tallinn, as there are many reliable ways of reaching the capital. The quickest way to reach Tallinn by road is through the Rila Airport, which is only approximately fifteen kilometers from the capital. It is connected with the international airport of Riga by ferry, and the train between the two airports is also available.
A variety of comfortable minibuses are available to pick you up from the airport, and they are easily accessible by driving. From the airport, you will need to drive around to find one of the many good restaurants situated near the harbor. It is possible to book a cab at one of the numerous tourist cabins available in Tallinn, Hungary. The price for a reasonably-priced tour cab is about EUR 8.00.
Another good way of traveling to Tallinn is on the train, as the journey takes about three hours. Once you reach the southern part of Tallinn, your accommodation choice must be where you want to stay – either inside or outside the city. Most visitors stay in the town itself, as there are many attractive guesthouses and inns available. There is no shortage of hotels and resorts in and around Estonia, so it should not be difficult to find a hotel in the right price range. The easiest way to find a room is online, where you can select from a variety of hotel websites that offer discounts and packages.
Visiting the Old Town of Tallinn is one of the best ways to see the city, as this Old Town is built along the historical Old Town square. The Old Town has been restored to its original appearance, and there is plenty to do, and see in the area. You are able to rent a cab or a tourist bus, and catch a glimpse of the beautiful Old Town Square, which was destroyed during the World War II. During the late afternoon, you will be able to watch the daily activities going on in the Old Town, and in fact, if you are passing through on your way to the airport, you will be able to take a guided tour of the Old Town.
Some of the other things you will want to do while you are in Tallinn include checking out the old town hall, the national museum, and the national library. The national library is a good place to find some interesting books, and you will be able to view a few examples of ancient Estonia culture while you are there. If you like historic architecture, the old town hall will provide you with plenty of opportunities to learn more about it. If you are staying in a hotel near the Old Town, there are usually several restaurants and bars within walking distance, so you will not need to go far from where you are staying.
You may be wondering how to get to Lake Peipsi, and the answer is to take a bus, train, or boat to reach the resort. There are boats that leave regularly from Tallinn, so you will not have any problems finding a good boat to rent. Another option would be to take a plane, and you will be able to reach the lake easily using one of the smaller charter planes. One thing you will have to consider before traveling to Tallinn, is whether or not the climate will suit your needs. If you are going to be spending much time in a vacation house, or relaxing at the beaches, then you will not have much of a problem with the weather, but if you are going to be doing work on the water, you may want to consider an alternate route.
