Lantern Tours – Guided Walking Tours in Tallinn
A lantern-lit hike creates a magical winter atmosphere, whether arranged through the cobbled streets of Tallinn’s Old Town or out in a snowy natural setting beyond the city.
This is a slower, more atmospheric activity that encourages conversation and shared experience, rather than competition or physical challenge. It is ideal after a busy conference day, when your guests want something memorable but not too demanding.
In Tallinn’s Old Town, the experience takes on a different kind of magic once the sun sets and a whole new world opens up. Lantern in hand, your guests explore not only the well-known sights but the lesser-known surroundings of the medieval centre as well — from the old city walls to traces of the original settlements and the green belt that wraps around the Old Town. The famous landmarks are still part of the route, of course, and a hot drink waits at the end to warm everyone up.
Out in nature, the walk can instead end by a campfire with warm drinks or simple homemade food — a cosy finish that gives the group time to relax and connect under the winter sky.
Suitable for groups of all fitness levels and easy to arrange in advance, a lantern hike is a gentle, evocative way to experience the Estonian winter together.
