Shopping in Tallinn
In the Old Town you'll find more interesting shops selling 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 has to be imported from Lithuania. Fashion fans may want to check out the outlets of big international names such as Hugo Boss, Parnu 10, and Max Mara, Harju 6.
Shopping in Tallinn has flourished under capitalism, and a number of large malls, such as Kristiine Keskus, Endia 45, and Ulemiste Centre, by the city's airport, are now very popular with the locals. Tallinn's biggest shopping centre is called Viru Keskus (or Viru Centre), Viru väljak 4, and is located in the city centre. It is connected with Kaubamaja, Gonsiori 2, the biggest department store in the city. Other good department stores include De La Gardie, Viru 13/15, and Stockmann, Liivalaia 53.
Shopping hours in Tallinn are Monday to Friday 1000-1800; some shops open on Saturday 1000-1700. Department stores are open daily 1000-2000.
