About the district
The district encompasses several distinct sub-areas: Kalamaja with its wooden houses and cafés, Telliskivi with its creative hub, and the Lennusadam (Seaplane Harbour) maritime museum on the bay. Balti jaam Market is right by Baltic Station. The Estonian Maritime Academy is also located in the district.
Tram lines 1 and 2 run along the border with Kesklinn; trolleybuses and buses are accessible from most sub-areas. Baltic Station is within walking distance of Kalamaja and Telliskivi.
Contrasting housing stock: early-20th-century two-storey wooden houses in Kalamaja and Pelgulinn sit alongside Soviet-era blocks in Kopli. Prices are rising: gentrification in Kalamaja has pushed it into the premium segment, while Kopli remains affordable.
State schools and kindergartens operate in Põhja-Tallinn. Proximity to Baltic Station provides quick access to educational institutions in the central districts.
Sub-areas vary considerably: Kalamaja and Telliskivi are safe and lively; Kopli has a historically industrial character and is continuing to be regenerated. Street lighting is being improved across the district.
