When is the best time to fly to Tallinn?

High Season

Tallinn's high season, from June to August, brings warm weather and long daylight hours. Temperatures average around 18–20°C, and the city bursts with outdoor activity. Upon arrival, you'll find a lively atmosphere, with locals and visitors enjoying open-air dining and events.

During these months, the city’s medieval Old Town is bustling, and outdoor concerts and festivals, like the Tallinn Old Town Days, are common. Coastal areas become popular, and you can see people enjoying beaches and waterside promenades. The extended daylight creates a relaxed, energetic pace, encouraging late-night strolls and outdoor exploration.

Low Season

The low season, typically from November to March, transforms Tallinn into a quieter, often snow-covered city. Temperatures frequently drop below freezing, averaging around -2 to -6°C, and daylight hours are significantly shorter. The crisp, cold air and often frosty landscapes define this period.

While the pace slows, a unique charm emerges. The Christmas market in Town Hall Square is a highlight, creating a festive, cosy atmosphere. Indoor cultural events, such as theatre performances and museum exhibitions, become central to daily life. The snowy scenery offers a serene experience, and you'll find a more intimate, reflective side of Tallinn during these colder months.
