34 European Airports That Turn Layovers Into a Mini-Vacation

31. Tallinn Airport (Lennart Meri) (TLL): A Medieval Estonian Escape

If you find yourself with 4-6 hours at Tallinn Airport, you're in for a treat. A mere 15-minute tram or taxi ride transports you into the heart of Tallinn's UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town. Lose yourself for a couple of hours wandering its cobblestone streets, admiring ancient city walls, spired churches like St. Olaf's, and the charming Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats). It feels like stepping directly into a storybook, offering a uniquely preserved glimpse into Hanseatic history and Baltic charm before you even leave the airport's vicinity.
