Paldiski Lounasadam, Paldiski South Harbor

Paldiski South Harbor, situated 45 km west of Tallinn, is a vital center for Estonian trade. This regional harbor, managed by the Port of Tallinn, is the country's second-largest cargo harbor. It primarily focuses on handling Estonian exports and imports, as well as facilitating transit cargo. Ro-ro cargo, scrap metal, timber, peat, and oil products are commonly handled here. The harbor boasts direct connections to numerous West European ports, making it a crucial stop for Baltic Sea Ro-Ro shipping lines.

While the port itself might interest maritime enthusiasts, venture beyond to discover nearby gems. The Pakri Lighthouse, a sentinel standing guard over the waters, is a must-see. Explore the artistic legacy of Amandus Adamson at his dedicated studio museum, or delve into the history of St. Panteleimon's Orthodox Church.

For a shopping experience unlike any other in Estonia, head to the Paldiski Kaubamaja shopping center. Here, you'll find a treasure trove of Slavic products and Russian beers. When hunger strikes, the South Harbor Cafe offers a convenient option for visitors.
