Harjumägi Tallinn

Best view of Freedom Square

""Harjumägi" is a hill in the heart of Tallinn. It offers great views and is next to the Upper Old Town, but it's quiet despite its very central location..."

Harjumägi or Harju hill is a hill in the heart of Tallinn, nearby Freedom Square. Actually when you get to the top of the hill, you get to see a great view, which covers Freedom Square itself and downtown. I like this place because of its location and the atmosphere. It is right in the city centre, but it's still relatively quiet there. During the warm days, it is really nice to have a picnic or just relax and sit on a bench while enjoying the nice view.

Moreover, there is a working fountain for when it is warm and a cosy cafe right next to it. I really like sitting there on the bench under the tree feeling the breeze that comes from the fountain, it is really refreshing. Not to mention the great location of the spot: the Upper Old Town, with its viewing platforms and much more, is just a few minutes away on foot.

Fancy dumplings

"Kurze" in Tallinn is literally a broth bar. It serves alcohol too, but it's specialised in soups -- genuine and nourishing. They also play techno!

Gotsu

Kyuho's kitchen

"Gotsu" is one of not many Korean restaurants in Tallinn. If you like spicy food, I definitely recommend going for the burning kimchi stew. Pets allowed.

NoKu Klubi

Secret place

Hell Hunt

Probably the best pub in town

"Hell Hunt" is my go-to option when I just can't come up with any ideas of where to go for a drink or food in Tallinn. A chaotic, cheerful pub/restaurant.
