The month of May is dedicated to biodiversity in Tallinn’s urban environment and from 20 to 27 May, Tallinn Green Week with three international theme days will take place. Admirers of nature are welcome to take part in nature walks, bird singing evenings, open bee days and many other events.
To celebrate Tallinn Day, the Environment and Public Utilities Department of Tallinn presented the book “Tallinn Parks and Green Areas”, the 700 pages of which describe the history of the city's green areas.
On Tallinn Day, May 15, the traditional washing of the city streets will take place, which also marks the finish of this year’s Urban Maintenance Month. The street sweepers will start moving from Pirita road towards the city centre at 8 am.
Although it is still restricted to organise events, there are many ways in Tallinn to celebrate a joyful and memorable Mother's Day. Already from tomorrow, May 7, you can listen to web concerts and visit exhibitions; museums, the Zoo and the Botanical Garden are open.
The city supports local companies through the summer campaign "Discover Tallinn!", which invites all Estonians to take part in the capital's diverse cultural summer.
On the occasion of Child Protection Day, June 1st, the City of Tallinn will make a symbolic gift for children, providing free admission for children up to 19 years of age (incl.) to the Tallinn City Museum and its branches, as well as the Tallinn Zoo and Botanical Garden.
On the order of the Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department, the construction of a pedestrian and cycling path, linking the Lasnamäe cycle route to the city centre, started on 28 June. In the first stage, a section of the road will be created from Tondiraba Park to Vana-Kuuli street. The contractual deadline for the cycling path is November 2022.
The summer heatwave has taken hold, and with it the increased need for drinking water. At the beginning of June, AS Tallinna Vesi opened public water taps, where you can get clean drinking water free of charge until the end of September.
Tallinna Kiirabi (Tallinn Emergency Medical Service) points out that with the current exceptionally hot weather, people should be very careful in the sun and drink plenty of water.
