Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is part of the economically stable Nordic area, situated on a busy trading route between East and West.
History of Tallinn has been a rollercoaster – once a Hanseatic trade city, then an advanced Northern country, followed by 50 years of Soviet occupation, and now, 20 years after the Estonian re-independence, an international and technology-driven city with multicultural and integrated society. The city welcomes 4.3m visitors annually – 10 times of its population.
Tallinn is an amazing blend of old and new. The world-famous medieval Old Town is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next to the Old Town, there are several unique neighbourhoods – Kalamaja with its colourful wooden houses and a hipster-like atmosphere , 300-year-old Kadriorg flooded with art and greenness, Nõmme with a small-town atmosphere, seaside Pirita with its beautiful nature. All of Tallinn’s neighbourhoods, each with its own personality, can be quickly and easily reached on foot or by inexpensive transport.
Tallinn as a capital is very green, with public green spaces covering more than 25% of the acreage and Tallinn being among the world's top 10 cities with the cleanest air. Visitors can stroll along seaside promenades, explore the natural beauty of suburban bog trails, and take sailing trips to nearby islands.
Tallinn is widely recognised as one of the world’s most technology-oriented cities, offering cutting-edge solutions from e-government to mobile parking. All hotels, conference centres, as well as many attractions and public areas offer free Wi-Fi. Tallinn is a fresh and exciting choice for exceptional conferences, incentives are various group activities.
