I ended up going to Riga and Tallinn on consecutive weekends. Had a great time in Tallinn, its a wonderful city, just like Riga. But I got the timing wrong this time around. I arrived on Saturday evening and stayed until Wednesday. Saturday was fine but then Tallinn goes totally dead Sun-Tue nights. Almost none of the places were open which was very frustrating.
Bars/clubs:
On Saturday, I checked out Nimega/Nimeta and some of the bars in that area. Met two regular girls at one of these two bars. One of the girls was decent but the other was a bit chunky. Anyway, after chatting for a bit, we decided to go the Hollywood nearby. The place was rocking with tons of girls in the teens and early 20s dancing away. They were quite friendly but in the end I was pretty tired so decided to call it an early night. Hollywood is overcrowded but if you wanna dance and meet young girls, this is the place to go. I didn't meet any pros there though so don't go there expecting to walk out after 10 mins with a girl.
All the bars were closed from Sun-Tue except for Amigo. This turned out to be very disappointing. And Amigo was nothing special. The place attracts a middle aged clientele, with lots of men in suits staying at the hotel upstairs and looking for professional girls. The quality of the girls was ok - I was struggling to find hot girls in the crowd, there were perhaps one or two out of about 20! Most of the girls seemed professionals but there were probably 3-4 men for every woman so it was almost difficult to find a girl by herself for too long...unless, ofcourse if she was ugly or quite old.
Monday night was a bit better and Tuesday night got even better. The crowd and the quality and quantity of girls both improved into the week. But then there was always more men then women and the men were quite desperate for a shag no matter what, so most of them were quite aggressive when it came to approaching the girls. It was normal to spot a few working girls here and there on the street walking about looking for customers. I am a bit wary of the street girls so decided to stay away from them. One night, one my way back to the apartment, I met a girl on the street. She started chatting me up and followed me back to my apartment. She didn't bring up money so I thought maybe I had lucked out. She was a bit on the heavy side and not all that good looking so it seemed quite possible. But then once inside, she demanded 1000Kr for the night, which in itself is not bad since I think the going rate is about a 1000Kr for an hour. But she wasn't that good looking so I let her go.
Website girls:
I did call a girl from one of the websites. She had a good body but an average face and her attitude was quite bad. Talked a lot, asked for money upfront and didn't even spend the hour with me. Cost me about a 1000Kr. It wasn't worth it.
Unlike Riga, I could not find any local websites for girls in Tallinn. Does anyone know of any websites with local listings? The only website with a handful of ads (and not very good ones) was
www.sexyescortads.com. This was quite frustrating since there were virtually no bars open during the week and the working girls in the bars were far outnumbered by horny middle aged men. So if you want to hire a girl, I think your best bet is the bars/clubs rather than looking online.
Word of advise to anyone going to Tallinn - the city is beautiful with a lot of good looking girls all over, just like Riga. But try not to go there during the week. If you are planning on staying there for a few days, I think the best day to get there is Wednesday and to stay until Sunday. Hollywood club has ladies nights on Wednesdays which is supposed to be very good (unfortunately I left Wednesday afternoon so couldn't check it out!). I also found the girls on the street, during the day, to be quite approachable and friendly. I chatted up a few of them and ended up having lunch with one. I think that is definitely worth a shot if you're in Tallinn for more than a long weekend.
Strip bars:
Since the regular bars were closed during the weekdays, I ended up going to ClubXXX after a night out at Amigos. The place is quite well done but its on the expensive side. 150 Kr to get in. When I was there (on a Sunday evening), there were very few customers (about 15 or so including a group of about 10 Indians from the UK who were basically hanging out by themselves). There were probably around 10 girls lounging around looking for customers to buy a private dance or by them a drink. One of them asked me for a dance - the going price is 600Kr for (I think) about 10 mins. I didn't think this was a good deal so turned her down. I didn't stay at the place for too long but while I was there, I watched a couple of girls dance. The girls come up on stage quite regularly and were pretty good looking but they would sort of harrass customers for tips by coming and dancing next to you. The minimum tip is apparently 25Kr - when I offered to pay her less than that, she simply refused and walked away! Anyway, the place is not much to write home about so you can easily give it a miss. I think its probably better to skip the strip bars in generally and go for the real stuff by paying around 1000Kr.
Massage:
I decided to try a massage place in the Old town. It apparently opended up not long ago. The place is called Hedone. They advertised erotic massage for 900Kr so I decided to check it out. The place is small but very clean and well managed. Its actually a purpose built massage parlour (unlike apartments having been converted into a massage establishments). They only have two rooms so you have to reserve in advance. When I was there, they had a couple of girls. The girl who gave me a massage was in her mid 20s, sort of mature looking, with a beautiful face and a voluptuous figure. But to my disappointment, the erotic massage only involved a sensual, slow massage with a HJ at the end. And the girl was not going to take off any clothes! Anway, since I was there and actually in need of a genuine massage, I decided to go for it. The rooms are purpose built, with a shower in the corner. They provide you a locker for you to deposit your clothes and belongings and to change into a robe, then escort you to the massage room and ask you to take a shower. After taking a shower, I had to wait a few mins before the masseuse came in and started the massage. She was absolutely wonderful and gave an excellent massage. She was so good that I forgot all about the erotic massage and just enjoyed her touches. She finally ended the massage with a HJ which was probably the best I have ever experienced. I was left totally relaxed after the massage! In short, the massage, although quite expensive, was well worth it! I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a relaxing massage and is willing to settle for a HJ at the end.
Accomodation:
Also like Riga, I ended up renting an apartment which I thought was a good option compared to a hotel. You get more space and privacy and the location is equally good (if not better). I stayed in the old town, right behind the town hall square and ended up paying around Euros65 for a one bed, modern apartment.
Tallinn is a wonderful city and although the Old town is quite small, pretty much everything you end up doing in the city is present in the Old town. But I strongly suggest not to go there on a weekday or you are bound to be disappointed with the nightlife. And I was also surprised by the lack of ads on the internet for working girls unlike Riga which has a ton of websites devoted to escorts. So if you go there, don't rely on the website for ads but rather look to pickup girls in bars/clubs (or the street if you're ok with that).
