Living in Tallinn

Estonia · cold

🌍

Tallinn is a mid-sized city of roughly 445,000 people right by the sea in Estonia. The climate is cold. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,750. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for art and culture, food and eating out, quiet days.

Entro il 2030 qui è atteso un cambiamento concreto: rail baltica high-speed line to warsaw. Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. Gli affitti sono saliti di circa il 61% in cinque anni: chi arriva oggi non trova i prezzi di cui ha letto.
