What To Expect
Nomme
Nõmme is often called Tallinn’s “garden city.” The atmosphere here is tranquil and almost village-like, evoking nostalgia for the good old days when the skies were bluer and the grass was greener. Here, you’ll find small local cafes, old railway station, and parks perfect for leisurely strolls. You will walk along the streets lined with 1920s- and 30s-era houses, private gardens and tall pine trees, and visit the local farmers' market.
Mustamäe is defined by its Soviet-era architecture and functional urban planning. Built mainly in the 1960s and 1970s, this district was designed as a “micro-district” to house a rapidly growing urban population. Mustamäe’s streets are lined with blocks of utilitarian apartment buildings—practical and uniform—which tell the story of Estonia’s recent history under Soviet rule. You will learn what was life like then and how do people live here today.
