About LGBTQ+ Tallinn

Estonia made history on 1 January 2024 as the first former Soviet state and the only Baltic country to legalize same-sex marriage, capping a run of progressive firsts in the region. Tallinn, its storybook medieval capital on the Baltic, holds the country's entire dedicated gay scene.

The nightlife is small but genuine, tucked into and around the Old Town, where X-Bar, Estonia's oldest gay bar, anchors a handful of venues alongside a lively small bar and a techno club. Digital, design-forward, and open, Tallinn feels a world away from its Soviet past.
