Estonia » Shopping in Tallinn

In Tallinn most shops in the Old Town and department stores throughout the city are open seven days a week, and major credit cards are widely accepted.

The best places to find quality fashion, shoes, perfume and the like are the elegant boutiques along Old Town’s Viru and Müürivahe streets, and the large, full-service department stores and malls that have recently been appearing all over Tallinn.

A required stop on any shopping tour of Tallinn is the outdoor knit market on Müürivahe street, where craftswomen sell their knitted products in the shadow of the town wall. Even more fascinating for the adventurous shopper is the Katariina Passage.

Here in medieval-style workshops run by the Katariina Guild’s artists, spectators watch as glasswork, ceramics, leather goods, quilts and other items are created right before their eyes.
