Balti jaam is in central Tallinn immediately northwest of the city's Old town. It stands close to a large market called the Baltic Station Market.
The first station opened in 1870 when a railway line connecting Saint Petersburg with Paldiski via Tallinn was opened.[2] The station was completely reconstructed between 1960–1966, and in 2005, the station building was completely renewed.
