Beyond the Old Town: Tallinn's Hidden Gems

💗Last weekend, we took the Tallink ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn for a day trip. 💗After exploring the medieval Old Town (which, honestly, shares some architectural similarities with Stockholm's Gamla Stan but on a grander scale), 💗we stumbled upon something unexpectedly cool... 🏭 Telliskivi Creative City 📍 Telliskivi 60a, 10412 Tallinn ✨A massive repurposed factory complex buzzing with creative energy ✨Vibrant street art covering every wall ✨Hidden gems: indie bookshops, vinyl stores, ✨and Fotografiska photography museum (yes, the Stockholm branch!) 🌴Live band rehearsals echoing through courtyards 🌴"This felt more authentic than the touristy Old Town – I'd gladly ferry back just to spend a full day here!" 🎨 Navitrolla Gallery 📍 Lühike jalg 1, 10130 Tallinn 🌴Discovered this whimsical Estonian artist after spotting his work on our cruise cabin wall 🌴Signature style: Surreal landscapes with tiny interacting animals (giraffes, bunnies, penguins) 💟Fun fact: His murals even adorn Silja Line cruise ships 💟Why Skip the Tourist Trap? 💟Tallinn’s real magic lies beyond the medieval walls – where Soviet factories become hipster hubs and local artists 💟redefine Nordic surrealism. #TallinnOffbeat #NavitrollaArt #CreativeEstonia
