Tallinn Cruise Port Guide | 10 Best Things To Do In Tallinn Estonia

Viru Gate in Tallinn Old Town

Welcome to Tallinn cruise port guide! Nestled on the shore of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, Estonia’s capital is located in the northern part of the country and is considered one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe.

Its developed harbour, medieval old town, and proximity to the ports of Helsinki and Saint Petersburg make it a must-stop in Baltic cruise itineraries. In this Tallinn cruise port guide, read about:

  • Tallinn cruise port (Tallinn cruise terminal, local transportation, getting around the port)
  • 10 best things to do in Tallinn port and best Tallinn shore excursions

Visit also our cruise port guides to Helsinki , Copenhagen ,  Oslo , Stockholm , Amsterdam , Bergen , Tromso , Alesund

Tallinn Cruise Port

The cruise ship docks at the Old City Harbour located approximately 1 km/0.5 miles from the Old Town. Tallinn cruise port consists of three passenger cruise terminals A, B and D handling both cruise ships and ferries, and an Old City Marina , a former terminal C that handles yachts and recreational boats.

Passenger terminals A, B and D have a total berth length of 4,2 km/2,6 miles and are able to accommodate 4 large cruise vessels simultaneously, including the Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class (the largest cruise ships in the world). Inside the harbor, there are 3 more quays handling smaller vessels and a ferry terminal serving routes to Helsinki, Stockholm, and Mariehamn.

Very rarely, cruise ships dock at Muuga Harbour , the largest cargo port in Estonia located 18 km/11 miles from Tallinn city center. In that case, taxis and shuttle buses are the transportation options to take you into the town.

The port of Tallinn doesn’t have a proper terminal building, however, you will find a white tent with a souvenir shop and tourist information stand. Within a few minutes walk from there you will find a small craft market in the Old City Marina featuring authentic handicrafts, fruits, vegetables, and local goods. There is a large bus parking and a taxi rank in front of the terminal.

A brand new Tallinn cruise terminal facility (Tallinna Kruisiterminal) adjacent to the cruise berths will include modern facilities with a pedestrian promenade, a playground for kids, and large car parking.

Head toward the spire of St Olaf’s Church and round Fat Margaret Tower (Paks Margareeta) that mark the entrance to the medieval city. Once you pass through the stone Pikk gate you will enter the Old Town area. The walk is flat and suitable for people with walking difficulties, however, the heart of the medieval city is cobbled and uneven.

Top 10 Things to Do in Tallinn Cruise Port

Always take into consideration your ship’s scheduled time in the port when planning your day ashore. If it is your first time here and you want to get the most of your day, consider taking an organized shore excursion to maximize your port experience.

1. Tallinn Old Town

This enchanting medieval town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is by far my favorite place to visit in Tallinn Take a stroll back in time through the winding cobblestone streets and admire the medieval churches and merchant houses dating back to the 13 th century situated inside the city walls.

The best way to explore Old Town is on foot and to get the most out of the city, take a guided walking tour with a certified guide. If you decide to do it on your own, I suggest you start your visit at Viru Gate which will make you feel as if you were entering a Fairy tale town. The gate marks the entrance to the Old Town and consists of two massive, ivy-covered watchtowers dating from the 1300s that you can climb and enjoy beautiful views of the square.

Viru Gate in Tallinn Old Town

Proceed then to Tallinn Town Hall (Raekoda) situated on Raekoja Plats, the Town Hall square where you will have the opportunity to get some souvenirs and local goods in the open-air market with sellers dressed in traditional costumes. The square is packed with people and besides the market stalls, restaurants, and cafes, here you will find Raeapteek , the oldest pharmacy in Europe operating since the 15 th century.

Three minutes walk from the square, Maiasmokk cafe – the oldest cafe in Tallinn dating from 1864 and the renowned Pierre Chocolaterie welcome visitors inside their historic establishments. Many museums, churches, hotels housed in historic buildings, and other landmarks can also be found inside medieval city walls. Guests with mobility challenges may encounter difficulty exploring some parts of Old Town due to the cobblestone streets and steep hills.

Enjoy delicious and unique dishes under candlelight, served by amazing and courteous staff, all dressed in traditional medieval costumes. The food is prepared like in medieval times with quite interesting ingredients. If you are a beer fan, do not miss to try their popular homemade honey beer, herb beer, and cinnamon beer.

This imposing Gothic church used to be the tallest building in the world between 1549 to 1625 with its massive 159-meter spire whose main purpose was to overlook the harbour and the approaching vessels. The church was severely damaged several times throughout history as it was struck by lightning, and the spire was replaced by a 405-foot tall spire that has remained the iconic symbol of the city. You can access the church for free, however, there is an additional fee to climb the tower.
