GETTING AROUND

Most of the main sights in Tallinn are

within comfortable walking distance of

each other. However, motorized transport

is required to see some major sights, such

as Kadriorg Palace, east of the Old Town,

and other sights of interest situated further

away. Tallinn’s trans port options are very

good, made up of an integrated network of

trolleybuses, buses and trams. Driving

around Tallinn may be a little disorienting

for visitors. There are several confusing

one-way systems and traffic jams are

common during rush hour. Nearly all buses

and trolleybuses leave from Vabaduse

Square or the Viru Keskus Terminal, while

most tram lines pass by the Old Town.
