This area used to be an empty industrial eyesore in the 90s-00s, where the same buildings there are now, were on a brink of collapsing. As estonians are a fan of "recycling", now this is another prime example of old-meets-new - same industrial buildings with new contemporary twist. You may find numerous shops and restaurants nestled into this area. If you wish to buy something to bring home, I recommend Kalev chocolate shop! (my personal favourites are white chocolate with blueberries and Maiuspala candy). It's the biggest and oldest chocolate manufacturer in Estonia.

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Public transportation is a good way to get around
Although Tallinn city centre is small and you probably have criss-crossed it through, if you wish to go bit out of the centre, it's good to use trams or buses.
Viajar con niños
Public transport have space for strollers
Trains and newer (=low) buses and trams have place for strollers.
Costumbres y cultura
We have a quiet nature
Speaking very loudly in public or standing very close to someone (without knowing them) makes people feel uncomfortable
Formas de ahorrar
Tallinn Card!
If it's your first time visit and you're here to explore the city, I advise to purchase Tallinn Card, which gives you free entrance to many sights, discounts on others and FREE public transport!
Qué empacar
Bring comfy shoes and something warm
If you're here to explore, comfy shoes are a must (cobblestone Old Town... all I need to say) and you always need something warm with you since the weather is often very moody around here.
