Medieval towers, cobbled lanes and a real submarine inside a seaplane hangar. Here's what Tallinn is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
June to August is warmest, with very long light evenings. December has a Christmas market in the Town Hall Square and the Old Town looks pretty in the snow. The rest of winter is cold and dark, but the museums are good on chilly days.
Walk the cobbled lanes and city walls, then climb up to the Toompea viewing platforms for rooftop views.
A cannon tower on the old walls with secret tunnels under the bastions to explore.
A maritime museum in giant old hangars, where you can climb inside a real submarine.
Old farmhouses, windmills and a village school in the woods by the sea.
A big palace park with ponds, swans and a good playground.
Hands-on old inventions and virtual reality rides in a converted factory.
Yes, for a short break. The Old Town is small, safe and easy to walk, and there are good museums for children. Prices are lower than in most Western European capitals.
Three or four nights covers the Old Town, the Seaplane Harbour and a park or two. Add a night for a day trip to Helsinki.
Direct flights from London take about three hours. The airport is only a short tram or taxi ride from the centre.
Yes, fast ferries cross to Helsinki in about two hours, so a day trip is easy. Book ahead in summer.
Put Tallinn on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
