Shopping Tips

MADE IN ESTONIA. Tallinn off ers visitors a huge range of
shopping possibilities from big malls and department stores
all over the city, to tiny boutiques and cozy galleries nestled
quietly in the Old Town. You’ll fi nd a wide range of well-known
international brands here but there is no reason to avoid locally
made products. Estonia excels in many areas including interior
design, textiles, jewellery, handicrafts, art and fashion.

BEAUTIFUL SHOPPING. The Old Town off ers a unique and
diverse shopping experience. While strolling from boutique to
shop to small shopping centre, don’t forget to look up as the
Old Town is a certifi ed architectural treasure trove (the whole
of Old Town is a protected UNESCO World Heritage site). The
Old Town setting makes Tallinn one of Northern Europe’s most
beautiful and architecturally diverse shopping experiences.

CASH OR CHARGE. Estonia is a Eurozone country; for other
currencies you will need to exchange. Currency exchanges can
be found at the airport, port and around the city centre. Most
Hotels also off er exchange services. Virtually all shops accept
credit cards and will require ID on larger purchases.
BARGAINING. Suggesting a lower price than the one on the
price tag will get you a curious look in most shops. But you can’t
be faulted for trying.

HOURS. Most shops are open seven days a week though they
may close somewhat earlier on weekends.

TAX FREE. Tax Free shopping is possible in Tallinn.
You must, of course, be eligible. Watch for the Tax
Free symbol in shops.
