Tallinn's ice rinks are soon closing for the current season - the ice rinks in Lasnamäe, Mustamäe, and Nõmme will remain open until the end of this week, March 17. The Old Town ice rink will stay open until the end of the month.
The initial phase of Tallinn's “Safe School Route” (“Turvaline koolitee”) program is set to focus on 14 schools within the city, addressing safety challenges around school vicinities such as safe sidewalks, bike lanes, street crossings, parking areas, and the implementation of traffic calming measures. Over the coming years, the program is planned to expand, encompassing all schools within Tallinn that require similar safety enhancements in their surrounding areas.
This Wednesday, Tallinn will celebrate Estonia’s Restoration of Independence Day with its annual concert at Harjumägi, August 20th Square.
