III Draakon Tallinn
Real medieval experience
Dmitri from Tallinn
III Draakon is an old-fashioned pub located right inside the Tallinn Town Hall building. Thanks to its exquisite medieval atmosphere (Medieval means - rough wooden furniture, clay mugs and candle light; probably the only electronic devices inside are the cash register and credit card terminal) this spot is surely a must visit for all travelers - even though it can be very crowded during high season. Usually, when I show our Old Town to another friend from abroad, we definitely stop here to taste some soup or pasties and have a pint of beer (or two). Tip: if you are buying some food, don't forget to take some pickles from the wooden cask by the bar (it's free of charge for customers).
Interesting fact - this venue is one of the most famous Tallinn spots among tourists from former Soviet Union countries (especially Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus) after it was featured (as a very special and cheap place) in the popular travel series on Ukrainian TV "Oryol i Reshka". Have to admit that is how I discovered this spot in the first place - a Couchsurfing friend from Saint Petersburg insisted on visiting it during our city walk.

Seaplane Harbour
Where kids play and adults rest
Seaplane Harbour Museum is a joyful spot for families. Kids love the play zone, hidden ship mouse doors and wave room. It's a lot of fun even for grown-ups!

Frank
Sinatra would drink here
"Frank" in Tallinn has this 1940s New Year New York flair. Simple but beautiful furniture, a sophisticated and warm atmosphere... I love it all!

NoKu Klubi
Secret place
"NoKu Klubi" Tallinn is a truly secret bar with a turbulent past you need a code for to enter! I like it for the '70s vibe and warm dusky light...

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.

Boheem Kohvik
Nice place for dinner
"Boheem Kohvik" is one of my favorite spots in Tallinn for lunch. This nice and quiet restaurant makes, in my opinion, the best Caesar's salad in the city.

Harjumägi
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...

Nature in the city
The "Paljassaare Special Conservation Area" is just 15 minutes by bus from the Tallinn's centre. I like exploring it by bicycle because it's quite big...
