Ferries to and from Paldiski

Fähre buchen auf faehren.net

The Estonian port town of Paldiski offers little in the way of culture and classic sights. Instead, prefabricated buildings and abandoned Soviet military installations dominate the picture. From 1989, the city was an important military base and submarine port – the facility covered a total of 65 square kilometers and was virtually sealed off from the outside world. Worth seeing are the churches and the view from the 52 meters high Pakri lighthouse.
