LOCATION
This is a highly valued heritage area with historical and architectural significance. Lai Street is one of the oldest streets in Tallinn, first mentioned in 1314. While the apartment lies in a quiet section of the street, the other end offers a vibrant selection of shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and leisure options. Town Hall Square and Freedom Square are just a few minutes’ walk away.
The closest grocery store is Rimi Express, but a wide range of amenities are also within convenient reach, including Viru Shopping Center, Balti Jaama Market, Tallinn Department Store (Kaubamaja), Rotermann Quarter, Kalev Spa, MyFitness sports club, Coca-Cola Plaza cinema, and more – offering extensive options for shopping, wellness, and entertainment.
Proximity to highly regarded schools adds further value to this central location – just a few hundred meters away is the Gustav Adolf Grammar School, and nearby are also Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium and the Georg Ots Tallinn Music School.
I’m happy to answer any additional questions and would be glad to arrange a viewing!
