4 day visit to Tallinn in October. Normally I aim for 3 day trips, but the way the flights worked out and work holidays it meant I had to spend 4 days - not complaining as the weather was mixed so I managed to shorter days wandering but still covering 10+ km/day.

Quick note
In Tallinn you can buy the Tallinn card which covers your entry to many museums and attractions, doing the maths the savings aren't massive based on the time constraints on the pass.
It's worth noting that most museums are closed on Mondays, some also on Tuesday and if you are out of season expect different opening hours so be sure to check before planning a visit or buying the card
