Great Ideas and things to do in Estonia

There are many unique museums to be found but two of exceptional quality, are the Estonian History museum and the city museum (Linnamuuseum). The history museum can be found in the Maarjamäe Palace, with excellent exhibitions reflecting the Estonian working-class revolutionary struggle, the courageous battles of the Soviet army and friendship of the Soviet peoples. The Linnamuuseum gives city break travellers a complete overivew and insight into the history of the capital, with great displays & with English translations.

Tallinn Golf breaks are becoming more popular in the Baltic States. Currently, there is only one 18-hole golf course in Estonia, located at Niitvälja, 33km south-west of the old town, but it is perfect for both social and professional play. The golf course was created in a Florida style, with water hazards, wide fairways, and narrow parts aligned with trees. The course is opened to our Estonia city breaks guests from April to November.

Since Estonia reclaimed its independence, the shopping scene in Tallinn has changed almost changed beyond recognition. The majority of the best boutiques, shops and traditional stores are located in the Old Town but there are many huge superstores dotted around the city. For tourists looking for high quality souvenirs & crafts, then try Katariina or St Catherine’s passage. Along this landmark street, you can find the best open craft studios & shops selling traditional Estonian goods. For those city break tourists that love to haggle, try the large open market called Keskturg, which guarantees the most experienced shopper a cultural experience worth remembering.

Take advantage of doing something completely unique in Estonia and try a high adrenaline sporting activity like hardcore shooting. Try an afternoon at a shooting range, firing off automatic weapons, Kalashnikov’s and pump action shot guns. Clay pigeon shooting can be organised and outdoor paintballing is another crazy stags adventure weekend activity to try your hands at. These aren’t activities just for stag weekends in Tallinn, they’re definitely suitable to anyone, who wants to experience something completely different on their short break in Estonia. Recommended group sizes, should be at least over 6 people, to make it cost effective, otherwise it can be quite expensive.

In Estonia, one can try 4x4 off roading, Quad biking, indoor and outdoor go-karting. For speed freaks, you’ll love these activities, guaranteed to get the heart racing. We recommend these driving activities for parties of over 8 people to make it costs effective. Driving activities are very popular amongst the stag parties that come to Tallinn and sports club tours, but are as equally popular with our corporate break clients.
