A peaceful weekend in Tallinn: A 48-hour itinerary by a local host
Perfect for couples, solo travelers, and anyone seeking calm experiences — without missing the best of the city.
Intro:
Tallinn isn’t just medieval towers and trendy cafés — it’s also a city full of quiet charm, creative local spots, and peaceful corners hidden in plain sight. Whether you're traveling as a couple, a solo adventurer, or simply need a reset, here’s a slow-paced, curated 48-hour Tallinn itinerary built on real local experience.
We host travelers in our calm studio in central Tallinn — and this guide reflects the places we genuinely recommend to guests seeking a peaceful, cozy stay with a touch of local magic.
Day 1 – Arrival & Soft Exploration
Afternoon Arrival – Settle into Your Stay
If you’re staying at Cozy Oasis Havens (or a similar peaceful place), settle in and grab a cup of tea. You’ll find plenty of calm just walking through the wooden-house neighborhoods of Kalamaja or Kadriorg.
Dinner: Plant-Based Bites at Lendav Taldrik
Head to Lendav Taldrik in Telliskivi – one of the most vibrant creative areas in the city. Their menu includes excellent vegetarian and vegan options, and their atmospheric garden seating offers a soft start to your trip.

Day 2 – Nature, Culture & Local Flavor
Morning: Kadriorg Park + Eco-Conscious Coffee
Start your morning at NOP Café, a locally loved organic café with plenty of vegetarian options and compostable packaging. From there, walk into Kadriorg Park — especially beautiful in the morning. Bring a book, or just breathe.
Midday: Art & History
Visit the KUMU Art Museum or the Kadriorg Palace — both easily accessible and relatively quiet if you go earlier in the day.

Afternoon: Optional – Short Sauna Break
If you’re up for a little treat, book a small-group or private session at Ohana, a wood-burn sauna with an ice bath. It is located in a medieval style cellar, and can be a deeply relaxing break.

Morning: Local Breakfast & Slow Souvenirs
Pick up handmade Estonian chocolates, wool products, or natural soaps at shops like Tali Design or Kalamaja Pagarikoda (a peaceful bakery with artisan bread and pastries).
