Rocca al Mare promenade Tallinn
A walk near the sea
In one of my previous posts, I wrote about a special corner of this promenade where you can stop, watch the birds more closely, and enjoy their songs. But today I want to remind you that the entire promenade itself is worth a slow walk.
As you move along the path, you’ll notice how the scenery changes: open views of the sea turn into quieter areas with trees and bushes, where small songbirds like finches and warblers find shelter. Further on, the open water may bring you the chance to spot gulls, terns, or even a cormorant drying its wings in the sun.
The promenade is not just about birds – it’s about the atmosphere. The rhythm of footsteps, the sound of waves, and the light breeze make this walk a simple way to reconnect with nature. And if you take your time, the birds will often come closer, showing themselves in the most unexpected moments.
So next time, don’t just stop at one point – let yourself wander along the whole promenade and see what surprises are waiting for you.

Secret place

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.

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.
