Tallinn has a lot to offer: the historic, medieval Old Town, over twenty museums, a zoo and lots more. For more information on attractions and sights, please check the official Tallinn tourism website.
The recently renovated Tallinn TV Tower (great view!), Pirita Nunnery Ruins that have cult status in Estonian culture (Viimne reliikvia), and Tallinn Botanical Gardens are especially nice during the current season, and they are all located within a short distance from eachother. Thus, people who enjoy a calmer city borough are strongly advised to find a day to visit them all.
There won't be any scheduled and sponsored day trip this year, but there are several different tours and trips offered by local companies. Check out this site or this one for more information.
