The City of Tallinn is transforming Aia Street into a green and vibrant public space this summer, complete with rest areas, play zones, urban furniture, and greenery.
This year marks the 777th anniversary of the day Tallinn received Lübeck city rights. This important historical milestone will be celebrated for the 24th time with Tallinn Day, taking place from 12–18 May. A full week of events and activities awaits all residents and visitors.
Starting on 21 April 2025, the City of Tallinn will begin works to remove a Soviet decorative emblem from the façade of the Russian Cultural Centre (Mere puiestee 5). The removal is based on the city government’s coalition agreement and a structural safety assessment.
In July last year, reconstruction began on the Kadaka puiestee bridge in Tallinn, which had reached the end of its service life and become structurally unsafe. As of Monday, the new bridge will be complete and open to traffic. Public transport will return to its regular routes in the first half of next week.
On the weekends of 10–11 May and 17–18 May, the City of Tallinn will once again organise collection rounds for hazardous household waste and reusable items. These rounds allow residents to conveniently, safely, and sustainably dispose of hazardous materials and give new life to items they no longer need.
One year after taking office in April 2024, the Tallinn City Government marks its first full year of work. Over the past year, the city has launched a number of major reforms to improve management efficiency, make public services more accessible and of higher quality, increase transparency, and invest strategically in the living environment and civil protection.
This year, the City of Tallinn will support the creation or development of 39 community gardens, 95 educational gardens, and 10 urban gardening projects, with a total budget of €343,880. These gardens and related projects help residents grow edible plants, learn to take care of the environment, and make the city greener and more biodiverse.
