About the district
What to know before renting or buying
Transport
All of Tallinn's public transport stops at the Old Town walls; Baltic Station (Balti jaam) is a 10-minute walk. Vanalinn itself is a pedestrian zone — parking is difficult and expensive.

Schools and kindergartens are in the neighbouring Kesklinn quarters, 5–15 minutes on foot. Tallinn University and several private tuition centres are located right beside the Old Town walls.
Safety and atmosphere
