Start your walk at Pirita Beach. The sand is wide and the air is fresh. It is early enough that the beach is quiet, before the summer crowds arrive.

Walk 8 minutes to Maiasmokk. This is the oldest operating café in Tallinn, dating back to 1864. Order a coffee and a sweet pastry. The spacious, stylish interior offers a calm break from the wind.

Head 46 minutes east to the Tallinn Botanical Gardens. Wander through the eastern outskirts of the city. It is a serene destination for nature lovers, far from the city center noise.
