ROUTES EUROPE: Exploring Tallinn - Delegate Tour Opportunities

This morning delegates at Routes Europe will have the chance to view just some of the key landmarks of the city thanks to a special complimentary tour programme arranged by this year’s host Tallinn Airport and its partners.

Delegates attending this year’s event in should make sure that they take some time, before or after the event to really take in the sights of this small, cosy and easy-to-explore historic city. Tallinn is home to the most intact, UNESCO protected, medieval Old Town in the world. The city centre with all the main entertainment facilities, shopping malls and hotels is just next to the Old Town and very easily explored on foot.

Why not take a walking tour of the old town? A guide will take you through the medieval Old Town which dates back to the 13th Century. Here you will stand in the midst of romantic cobblestone streets and squares, dignified merchant houses, diverse churches, impressive fortification wall and towers, cosy corners and courtyards looking like they were torn right from the pages of a storybook.

For delegates wishing to view the recently renovated and extended facilities at one of the fastest growing airports in Europe, there is also a complimentary tour of Tallinn Airport this morning.

For delegates wishing to discover Tallinn on their own ahead of the start of event proceedings, Tallinn City is offering a complimentary Tallinn Card. The Tallinn Card is your all-in-one ticket to the very best the city has to offer and is accepted in nearly 100 locations.
