Hg2 : The Hedonist

A Hedonist’s guide to…

Tallinn

Golf – Niitvälja Club
Sitting pretty amongst Tallinn's jaw-dropping countryside is its finest golf course Tallinna Golfiklubi. Escape from the crowds in a suitably garish argyle jumper and hit the greens in style.
Müürivahe
A busy tourist street in the Old Town Müürivahe is all about independent shops selling traditional Estonian household goods. Be sure to snap up a souvenir or three to take your folks back home.
Lühike Jalg
This road leads the way to historical Toompea; with culturally rich establishments a great day out is to combine some shopping with sightseeing before stopping at one of the many cafe's for much-needed fuel.
Ö
This port area is extremely popular with Estonians for the fabulous nightclubs and the chic restaurants. Only a few minutes walk from the Old Town there are plenty of party hotspots to head to following a delicious meal...
Radisson Blue Hotel Olümpia
The Radisson Blu has retained the Olümpia's impressive facilities and its city centre location places it within striking distance of Talllin's buzzing restaurants and bars and the picturesque Old Town...
Olematu Rüütel
Located in the heart of historic Tallinn this guest house acts primarily as a restaurant and conference centre however the three guest rooms have proven popular with those on a budget...
Cafe Elsebet
Near to some principal shopping areas in the Old Town, this cafe is attached to popular Cafe Peppersack, whose trade it shares.
Tallinn Football Club
Although not yet a celebrated sport Estonia does have a celebrated local team who play at the national arena. Cheer on the local boys and show your support.
City Bike Tours
Although the cobbled streets of Tallinn aren't ideal for cycling the surrounding countryside practically begs to be explored on two wheels.
ELF Conservation Tours
If you want to give something back whilst in Tallinn, the ELF project welcomes volunteers of all ages and abilities to help out with their conservation work across Estonia. If you love walks in the woods and singing by the camp fire, this one's for y
FK Keskus Go-Karting
Tearing around a track in a go-kart can be a good way of living out all your racing car fantasies without actually breaking any laws on the road. We suggest you do it here at FK Keskus.
Kalma Sauna
For the real Baltic sauna experience head to Kalma Sauna; open since 1928 the famed public sauna is every bit as fabulous as you'd expect.
Kajsamoor Sail and Dine
See Tallinn's historic skyline and medieval port from the water, on this two-hour excursion including lunch.
Tallinna Hipodroom
A betting man? Then head to the hipodroom in the town centre where you can place a bet on your favourite four-legged steed and cheer it on from the sidelines - all the while with a suitably chilled glass of champagne in hand of course.
Finnisage
Finnisage is a boutique-like salon favoured by fashionable locals; located just outside the city centre the trendy atmosphere and discrete private rooms makes it well worth the slog.
Seikleja Sea Kayaking
It takes hulking shoulders to power a canoe or kayak so those wanting to prove their mettle should take to Estonia's waterways and see what they're made of.
Tallinn Basketball Club
Believe it or not basketball is Estonia's favourite sport - and spectators love to watch slam-dunks by local team Kalev.
Kuul Saal Bowling Club
Tallinn's young 'uns love ten-pin bowling with most lanes located in shopping centres around the city. Three strikes and you're in. Check out KU:L SA:L.
Kohala Manor
It may not compare to Australia but Estonia's outback is nothing to sniff at; in fact it's damn beautiful and we highly recommend jumping astride a steed and galloping across the countryside in style.
Jeti Ice Arena
Ice skating can look graceful if you're any good but those who aren't likely to crash and burn rather spectacularly; hone your skills in Tallinn and make sure you don't go down without a sequin-clad fight.
Hedone
With its central location in Old Town it's hardly surprising this massage parlour is brimming with dressing gown-clad guests.
Golf – Suuresta Club
Another golf club, situated much nearer to Tallinn city centre than Niitvalja and the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Club 26
This fitness centre can be found on the 26th floor of the enormous Radisson Blu OlümpiaHotel; the views of the Baltic from the swimming pool are simply breathtaking. Try not to drown.
RMK Hiking
With such a diverse countryside it makes sense to throw on some hiking boots and head into the great unknown. Just be prepared to puff and pant your way home.
Estonian Experience Sailing
Sail away advised Enya - and what a wise woman she was. Do so in style by taking a boat out on the beautiful Baltic waters far far away from the coastline.
Tervis Spa
Attracting visitors from across the Baltic the Tervis spa in Viimsi has excellently-priced therapies and a selection of treatment packages that range from one-day visits to week-long holidays.
Tallinna Golfiklubi
Estonian Golf & Country Club
Velokuller
Top Kuller
First Class Transfer
Auto VIP
BonBon
Although the area was formerly an industrial wasteland Estonian's now come to the port area for good nightclubs and modish restaurants. BonBon became the favourite nightspot around and due to its recent trendy refurbishment it is bound to maintain
Last Minute Diamond Jubilee Getaways
Cafe VS
This city centre bar is popular with a trendy crowd of young Estonian's however escapes the radar of tourists. Serving stomach-lining Indian food and cocktails this is a great start to a large night out...
