Tourists name Tallinn the most romantic town in Scandinavia and Baltics

Tallinn came first in an international tourist survey made by the Scandinavian innovation centre Norden, writes Postimees.

The majority of tourists interviewed for the survey chose Tallinn as the city that most met their expectations among fourteen other cities in Scandinavia and Baltic states.

By using tourism offices in cities, Norden interviewed more than 5,000 tourists who had visited Copenhagen, Århus, Malmö, Uppsala, Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, Helsinki, Tampere, Turku, Reykjavik, Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius.

63 percent of the respondents chose Tallinn as the place to visit because of its cosy atmosphere while 65.4 percent said Tallinn was romantic. “Listen to music, walk around in the Old Town, step into some cafeteria or relax in a spa – in short, enjoy,” is how one Swedish tourist put the benefits of visiting Tallinn.

In terms of atmosphere, Tallinn was followed by Copenhagen and Stockholm. The three last cities in the survey were Tampere, Turku and Arhus. In terms of romantic destinations, Tallinn was followed by Vilnius and Riga.

Tallinn did also well among tourists interested in history, but was second behind Riga.
