Locals do not advise their guests to go far into sleeping areas or go out of town in search of good shopping, because prices in the city center and on the outskirts differ little. Of course, there is no need to buy key chains, figurines and other stamped souvenir small things from street stalls in the city center, but prefer shopping centers or markets where shopping for memory will be cheaper..
In the medieval houses of the Old Town, there are many boutiques with expensive brands of clothing and jewelry: Armani, Versace, La Perla, Hugo Boss, Max Mara, etc. Here you will also find antique shops, art salons. In numerous shops you can buy unique gifts made of ceramics, glass, leather, wood. Warm knitted socks or mittens with Estonian patterns are also popular with tourists. In the Courtyard of Masters, you can see firsthand how masterpieces of folk craftsmen are created and choose something to remember.
If you prefer to buy sweets as souvenirs, pay attention to the Kalev factory and its almond marzipan bars. This is the oldest chocolate factory in Estonia, it is already about two centuries old.
