Next Destination: Tallinn — Where Smart Meets Stunning

Looking for a conference destination that ticks all the boxes and surprises your delegates? Tallinn delivers. Think medieval streets straight out of a storybook, paired with one of the world’s most advanced digital societies. It’s a city where everything just works—smooth logistics, innovative thinking, and a setting that effortlessly blends history with modern energy. In Tallinn, your conference doesn’t just run well—it stands out.

Walkable Distances & Free Public Transport

With just 450,000 inhabitants, Tallinn is a dream for delegates: everything is close by, walkable, and easy to navigate. The airport is just 15 minutes from the city centre—no long transfers, no lost delegates, just more time to enjoy the city (and maybe even sneak in a spa visit). And although you’ll hardly need it, Tallinn also offers free public transport for conference delegates.

Hotel Prices Delegates Will Love

Here’s a well-kept secret—in Tallinn, you can still book a 5-star hotel room for under €200 (yes, breakfast included). Prefer 4-star? Expect around €100–140 depending on the season—great value without cutting corners on quality.

With nearly 8,000 hotel rooms across the city, there’s a perfect fit for every event (and every budget).

Spectacular, One-of-a-Kind Venues

Why settle for a ballroom when your gala dinner could take place in a former submarine factory, a repurposed power station, seaplane hangars, or even Peter the Great’s Palace? In Tallinn, venues are as memorable as the destination itself. The décor? Already breathtaking. (And yes—your budget will thank you.)

More Than Just a Pretty Skyline

Tallinn isn’t just easy on the eyes—it’s smart, too. As part of one of the world’s most digital societies, innovation and e-solutions are simply how things get done here. From tech and startups to life sciences and green innovation, Tallinn’s key industries are driving ideas forward—and giving your conference a seriously relevant backdrop.

Because great meetings deserve a city that’s not just beautiful, but brilliant.

Financial Support

Tallinn actively supports international conferences through a dedicated support scheme, offering grants of up to €35,000 per event. The funding can be used to cover a wide range of conference-related costs, including venue rental, AV, catering, and more.

Site Inspection Support

Thinking of bringing your event to Estonia? The Estonian Convention Bureau helps cover the costs of in-person site inspections—including travel and accommodation for key decision-makers. Because sometimes, you just need to see it to believe it.
