Cycling day trip from Tallinn to Keila

Roll out from Tallinn, Estonia’s capital with a UNESCO-listed Old Town, then head west on the city’s cycleways, following Paldiski maantee past Rocca al Mare and Lake Harku. The 32 km to Keila is mostly smooth asphalt with long stretches of dedicated bike path and some quiet-road links; expect gentle rolling with roughly 120 m of total ascent and no big hills. There are a couple of brief mixed-traffic and pedestrian sections—just ride alert through those.

As the city thins out, you’ll cruise through suburban green belts and open fields before rolling into Keila, a leafy town on the Keila River. Check out St. Michael’s Church and the central park, and if you’ve got a little extra in the legs, the Keila-Joa waterfall and manor are a short detour to the northwest. Keila has frequent rail service back to Tallinn if you prefer an easy return.
