Harju County

Built around the medieval port of Tallinn on the Gulf of Finland, Harju maakond grew into Estonia’s political, economic and cultural centre. The county occupies much of the country’s northern coast, where limestone cliffs, sandy shores and wooded inland areas meet the Baltic Sea. Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town preserves a compact ensemble of merchant houses, churches and defensive walls from its Hanseatic past, while the city’s contemporary districts underline its role as Estonia’s capital. Beyond Tallinn, the Keila River and the coast provide a quieter counterpoint to the urban core. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Harju maakond.
