"Medieval Tallinn - with its imposing city walls and narrow cobbled streets – was not built with motor vehicles in mind," writes The Telegraph, which published the news. "Driving around the ancient city centre is impractical, which has largely kept cars away. Add to that the city’s bountiful green spaces and breezy coastal setting and you have the ingredients for one of the least polluted cities in the world."
