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.
Housing and prices
The residential supply is extremely limited: restored medieval townhouses and merchant mansions. Prices per square metre are record-high for Estonia — up to €7,000/m² and above for apartments in historic buildings.
Schools and kindergartens
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
Vanalinn is one of Tallinn's safest districts thanks to constant tourist footfall and CCTV coverage. It is very busy in summer and pleasantly quiet and peaceful in winter.
