Staying in Telliskivi and Balti Jaam: entrances and routes
Check which side of the railway your accommodation occupies before planning your arrival. Telliskivi's converted buildings have passages and courtyards that can make the last few minutes less obvious than the main walk. For trips into the Old Town, use the station and Nunne street as reference points. For an early departure, confirm how to leave the building before reception opens.
