Tallinn in October
October transforms Tallinn into a cozy autumn capital, perfect for a brisk two-day exploration before the winter crowds arrive. The city's fairytale Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is genuinely worth it for its remarkably preserved medieval architecture, atmospheric cobbled streets, and panoramic viewpoints offering stunning fall foliage vistas.
