Destination Spotlight: Tallinn, Estonia

Thinking about your next conference destination? Why not try Tallinn?

When planning a conference or international event, choosing the right city is often the most important decision.  The location sets the tone, shapes the experience, and influences how many attendees commit to the trip.  Over the past few years Tallinn, Estonia’s capital, has emerged as one of Europe’s most compelling choices for MICE.

Here are some of the reasons why Tallinn is becoming a favourite among event organisers:

  • Less than a three-hour flight from London, with regular departures from Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.
  • Journey time to the city centre is 10 minutes reducing the need for excessive transfers, saving time and budget friendly.
  • A beautifully preserved medieval city, with a UNESCO listed Old Town, enriched with vibrant culture and history.
  • A compact city – venues, hotels and cultural attractions are often within walking distance.
  • Estonia is one of the world’s most digitally advanced nations so will appeal to IT and business audiences.
  • Cost of venues, hotels and catering are generally lower than in Nordic or Western European capitals, but the quality is equally high.
  • Delegates can enjoy productive conference days followed by evening strolls through cobblestone streets, buzzing creative districts or along the seaside.
  • The city offers a variety of modern and historic venues for conferences and events, from state-of-the-art conference centres and hotels to centuries old guildhalls or castles.

One of our favourite hotels is the Hilton Tallinn Park; a contemporary, upscale hotel in the city centre, overlooking the tranquil Politsei Parka and just a short walk from the medieval Old Town.  The hotel features:

  • 202 guest rooms with floor to ceiling windows.
  • Ten flexible meeting rooms.
  • A ballroom for up to 500 guests theatre style or 800 guests for a reception. The ballroom comes with a large pre-function foyer ideal for exhibitions and catering.
  • The hotel is less than 10-minutes drive from the airport.

Whether you are planning a corporate meeting, a congress, or conference, Tallinn offers not just a venue but a memorable experience for all attendees.
