Getting There
Located in the northern part of Tallinn's Old Town, the site is a 5- to 10-minute walk from central points such as the Town Hall Square. Those travelling from Tallinn Airport (TLL) can take public transport or a taxi to the edge of the Old Town before continuing on foot through the pedestrian streets.
Time to Allow
