What kind of holiday is Tallinn?

Tallinn is strongest for city breaks and history and culture. The main settings are urban settings, and the pace is relaxing.

How flexible is it? Tallinn can credibly be planned with a relaxed to active daytime pace, balanced to lively evenings and off-beat to popular crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has relaxed days, balanced evenings and a mixed setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.
