Thank you for your answer!
Even though your visit was some time ago, it gave me an idea about the prices!
After being in Tallinn four times, I’m done asking for “meaningful” things, as someone called it here! I should know about the must-sees and what to avoid by now…
Did you visit Olde Hansa, Eesti Maja and/or Peppersack as well? If yes, what did you think about them?
And what did you think about the city in general? (It’s always fun to see what other people think about Tallinn)!
:oD

We didn’t visit Olde Hansa – once for time, and the second trip because we ended up in the middle of a Medieval Fair and it was insanely busy!
We ate lunch at Eesti Maja – the decor was pretty cute but I don’t recall the food.
In a future visit I hope to visit Peppersack but we ran out of time!
I really enjoy Tallinn – we can spend way too much time at the (“Sweet Tooth”? The bakery soon after you enter olde town from the docks), the city is beautiful in summer OR winter (our best photos are from early March) and it feels safe (I’m not that adventuresome when in comes to feeling safe). Just wandering around town, occassionally eating, taking beautiful pictures :-)
Four times? Where are you? (Oslo?) If so – how do you make the trip – from Stockholm we were of course on the ferry which was great.

Yes, I live in Oslo! The first time (2001) I went with bus to Stockholm, then Silja Line to Helsinki and the Superseacat (catamaran) over to Tallinn… The the same trip back after the stay.
Second time (2004) I went with Estonian Air to Tallinn and Superseacat/Silja Line/bus back.
Third time(2005): Estonian Air both ways.
Fourth time(March 2006): Same as third…
Now Norwegian has started flights to Tallinn… This summer we’ll probably fly with Norwegian to Tallinn, and Estonian Air home.
Tallinn is my second home… I can’t imagine going anywhere else again (except maybe combine a stay in Tallinn, with a stay another place in Estonia)! I get all I need in Tallinn: great food, sweets, culture, shopping and relaxing… And of course it’s safe, as you said (so far away from the “terror cities” as you can come)!
Have you been to the cafés Kehrwieder, Tristan ja Isolde and/or Bogapott (last one is also an art studio/shop with great ceramics)?
