Why Telliskivi Creative City matters
Beyond the old town's walls lies the Tallinn that locals love. Old factory buildings have been turned into studios, cafés, small shops and venues, and the walls are covered in street art. On Saturdays, there is a flea market, and you can try Estonian craft beer and food. It is an easy 15-minute walk from the old town.
Talking points
- A former factory area now filled with studios, cafés and murals.
- The flea market on weekends is a good place for local design.
