About this activity

Let us take you out of the Old Town to places that really make Tallinn stand out. On this fun walking tour we discover the side of Tallinn that tourists often don't get to see. From old factory areas to up-and-coming residential areas, an old Czarist fortress turned prison to beautiful wooden buildings and the most famous market in the city of Tallinn.

This tour is compiled to highlight the creativity and drive of modern Estonia as well as the big changes and turmoil this area has gone through over the past few centuries.

There are also several options along the path to get coffee, tea, cake, pastries and more.

Itinerary

Rotermann Quarter

15 min

An old industrial area belonging to the Baltic-German Rotermann family, it is now home to restaurants, boutique, cafes, shops and more
Stop 2

10 min

An old submarine factory dating as far back as the late Russian Empire, Noblessner has quite a few fascinating stories to tell - from booze smuggling during prohibition to the requisition of a luxury yacht by a rather well known dictator.
Telliskivi Loomelinnak

20 min

Telliskivi "Creative City" is the heart of modern Kalamaja. As a hub for start-ups and a famed location for different cuisines and cultural events, this old industrial complex offers a glimpse into how both the old and the new strive to work together in Tallinn
Balti Jaam Market

10 min

A market has been located at Balti jaam for decades, but the new structure and the myriad of shops, food providers and antiquaries within show Tallinn's strive to reconcile as well as celebrate its rich (and sometimes dark) past along with its various cultures.
