Kopli cemetery

Kopli cemetery is a public green space in northern Tallinn with walking paths, cycling trails, and grassy areas shaded by native trees. The layout features a central alley and open zones that create pockets of green throughout the space.

This green space emerged from a Lutheran Baltic German cemetery founded in 1774. Soviet authorities cleared the site in 1950 and converted the land into a public park for the city.

A memorial fountain in the central alley honors the importance of the former cemetery where several notable Estonians were laid to rest. The name and layout of the space continue to reflect this history for visitors.

The site is accessible by tram lines 1 and 3, which run directly from central Tallinn to the Kopli district. The terrain is flat and level, making walking and cycling comfortable throughout the year.

The grounds offer views of three different bodies of water: Tallinn Bay, Kopli Bay, and Paljassaare Bay. This combination of urban greenery and water views creates a unique setting for those seeking quiet moments.
