Seeing the Sights

We look at alternative ways of getting around.

Whether you’re in Tallinn for a shorter stay or a longer tour, you’ll probably want to fit in as much as you can. While public transport is relatively easy-to-use and pretty tourist friendly, a tour on one of the big red buses, like those operated by City Tour (www.citytour.ee) are a great way to get from one end of town to the other while seeing some of the most important sights. This is a great option if you’re only in town for a day.

If you’d prefer to stay a bit more active, then why not hire a bike for the day and explore the city on your own. If you’re afraid of getting lost, then you can try a guided bicycle tour with City Bike. They offer bike rental, self-guided tours, and guided tours through Tallinn. Check out their website for a full listing of prices, events, and tour ideas:

Then let’s not forget the Segway…while this writer is a bit too shy to try it herself, Segways are great way to see the city sights. Blue Super Segway in Tallinn’s Old Town (Viru 7, Tallinn Old Town) rent Segways, but also organises guided tours. Find out more at: www.bluesupersegway.ee
