Nightlife in Estonia was bizarrely started when the Tartan Army, this are the football fans who faithfully followed the Scottish national side, kick-start the nightlife in the 1990s after decade of Soviet dreariness. If you want to practice your English with the locals, you can try visiting the two bars the Tartan Army set up after a football match in Tallin before in Estonia. These bars are the Nimeta, Suur-Karja4 and the Nimega, Suur-Karja13 are still up and doing business in Estonia.

If you want to enjoy the overlooking view while partying, Molly Malone’s Mundi 2, still in Estonia, is a better-than-average Irish theme pub with a sunny terrace for you to look at the overlooking to the Town Hall Square.

However, stag parties dominates all of the above in Estonia which made the local trendies to move into a chic-lounge style bars such as Kaheksa, Vana-Posti 8, Pegasus, Harju 1 and the Stereo Lounge, Harju 6 –all in Estonia baby!

If you’re looking for the wild live music, the veteran Guitar Safari, Muurivahe 22 and Saku Suurhall, Paldiski mantee 104b is a thumbs up for massive venue for gigs. Tallin Estonia’s club scene is fairly lively but tame compared to that of others. The Venus Club, Vana-Viru 14 is housed in a historic fire station on the edge of the Old Town of Estonia but is one of the most popular venues. Club Hollywood, Vana-Posti 8 on the other hand is in the Old Town of is a smaller, more trendy and exclusive dance venue in Estonia.

If you’re not into clubbing and partying, one thing more that singles in Tallin, Estonia can do is shopping! Who wouldn’t think of that? Shopping has indeed boomed its existence under capitalism in Estonia and quite a number of malls such as Kristine Keskus, Endia 45, and Ulemiste Centre which is by Estonia’s airport are now very much the apple of the eye of locals. The biggest shopping centre in Estonia is in Tallin which is Viru Keskus or Viru Centre. This is located in the city centre. It is connected with Kaubamaja Gonsiori 2, the biggest department store in Tallinn, Estonia. Other department stores in Estonia that are good to shop are De La Gardie Viru 13/15 and Stockmnn, Liivalaia 53.

Knitwear is also an interesting shopping item in Estonia. This can be found from the market by the old town wall next to Viru gate in Estonia. Fashion fans may want to check out the outlets of big international names such as Hugo Boss, Parnu 10 and Max Mara, Harju 6.

Your money will definitely feast on great finds and places in Estonia, whether you are just visiting or shopping, with a thick or empty wallet. So singles out there who are shopaholics, party junkies, prepare your money bags and passports and off you go to Estonia!

I think Amsterdam is one of the top European cities for singles. It’s a city rich in culture, it has a booming nightlife and the city itself is pretty open-minded. Gay singles can meet up during Amsterdam’s annual LGBT film festival to meet culturally aware film enthusiasts. Amsterdam is also a popular spot because of its marijuana cafes and being known for its legal red light district. That easily makes it one of the top European cities for singles.

For the younger generation of singles, the best places to visit are always the ones with the best parties. So why not visit Ibiza? It’s one of the top European cities for singles for being internationally known as the party island off the coast of Spain. You can enjoy a world of clubbing, lounging on the beach and having an adventure of a lifetime.

If you’re someone who’s trying to gain some personal fulfilment or discovery, then London is the place for you. It may not be as overtly PDA as cities like Paris or Rome but history buffs, art enthusiasts, theater patrons, food gurus, bookworms and a whole load of other people can benefit from this capital rich in culture while still in the middle of the busy streets of London.

If you’re a single who’s looking to just let go of all inhibitions, then I’ve got a few top European cities for singles on my list for you. Namely, these are the cities that have nude beaches where you can stare at any hot guy or girl without being called a pervert. There’s Red Beach on Crete, Paradise Beach on Mykonos, Greece, Leucate Plage in France and Costa Natura in Spain.

But if you’re more like the single who wants to get a vacation away from all the wild parties and meet someone stable and traditional, here are my choice of top European cities for singles. Vatican City can easily take you away from the nightlife and get immersed in the religious architecture, gardens, historical arts and monuments. Dublin, Ireland may have some rowdy crowds during parades and festivals but there are also plenty of opportunities for shopping, going to the cinema, visiting historical monuments and museums or just relaxing in one of the city’s many parks.

Of course, these are just some of my choices for top European cities for singles. I haven’t visited all the cities yet so I don’t know if there’s something better than the choices that I made. Do you have any other ideas as to what the top European cities for singles are?
