Crime

Tallinn isn’t any more dangerous than the average European capital, but occasionally tourists do get robbed. As always, common sense is in order: be careful who you drink with and how much, and don’t wander into unfamiliar areas alone, especially after dark. The most common problems to hit foreigners are pickpocketing (Viru tänav is especially notorious) and car break-ins. If you want to report a crime, contact the central police station, Pärnu mnt. 11, tel. 612 42 00. For emergencies: tel. 110.
