Segway Tallinn offers a fun and efficient way to see Estonia's capital, combining the charm of the UNESCO-listed Old Town with the city's greener, coastal areas. The tour typically starts near Viru Gate, then weaves through cobblestone streets past landmarks like the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Toompea Castle. Riders then head toward the waterfront, passing the Seaplane Harbour and Kadriorg Park, with its baroque palace. Guides share stories of Tallinn's Hanseatic past and Soviet-era history, while the Segway's electric motor ensures a quiet, eco-friendly ride. The experience is suitable for beginners, with a brief training session before departure. What makes it distinctive is the blend of medieval and modern: you'll roll past 13th-century city walls, then glide along the modern promenade with views of the Baltic Sea. The tour covers more ground than a walking tour, making it ideal for visitors short on time or those who want a unique perspective on this compact capital.

A bit of history

Tallinn's Old Town dates to the 13th century, when it became a key Hanseatic trading hub. The city walls and towers seen on the tour were built between the 13th and 16th centuries. Segway tours began operating here in the 2000s, offering a modern way to experience this historic setting.
