Shopping
Gone is the era of Soviet deprivations with a number of large malls, such as Kristline Keskus, Endia 45, and Ulemiste Center, by the city’s airport, now very popular with the locals. In the old town you will find some more interesting retail options with the main souvenirs knitwear (from the market by the old town walls next to Viru gate), Vana Tallinn, the city’s most famous alcoholic tipple, ceramic depictions of medieval old town buildings and, somewhat bizarrely, amber as it is not actually found naturally in Estonia but imported instead from Lithuania. Fashion fans may want to check out the city’s increasing number of fashion shops including local outlets like Tango, Suur-Karja 18 and Elegance Boutique, Vaike-Sojamae 4, as well as big international names such as Hugo Boss, Parnu 10, and Max Mara, Harju 6.
