Neighbourhood guide
About Jätkäsaari: the back story
Jätkäsaari has grown on the old West Harbour: Hotel AX, Uusi Sauna and the West Terminal for the Tallinn ferries, with Demo and Grön a short walk inland.
By the harbour
Eckerö Line and other ferries sail to Tallinn from the West Terminal.
Eating
Demo, on Itämerenkatu, holds one MICHELIN Star (2026).
Stay here before an early ferry to Tallinn.
Our advice: a sauna at Uusi Sauna after the crossing.
