Just 10 minutes walk from the Old Town is Tallinn’s hipster district where all the cool kids hang out. A visit to the Saturday flea market is highly recommended. Today, more than 1,500 creative minds use the site, which includes a theatre, photo gallery, and even a childcare service.

This one-of-a-kind venture was the brainchild of Jaanus Juss who bought old railway buildings with the vision of bringing like-minded people together. The area surrounding Balti Jaam has plenty to capture your imagination, with a number of independent eateries and design stores too.Īcross the road from Balti Jaam is Estonia’s biggest creative township called Telliskivi Creative City. There are street-food stalls in abundance to fulfil your need for a sumptuous breakfast and a craft beer brewery to quench your thirst. Here, pickled cucumbers sit next to Italian cheese and Soviet memorabilia stares 21st-century design in the face. Many cities have local markets worth exploring and the one in Tallinn is Balti Jaam. From charcoal-cooked pigeon to asparagus with truffle, this fine dining experience by chefs Tonis Siigur and Orm Oja is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Voted the best restaurant in the Baltics last year, this elegant, tastefully decorated seaside restaurant serves between 9-11 course tasting menus with the best locally sourced ingredients.
