Telliskivi’s Vibe
Think of Telliskivi as a creative playground built into a former industrial complex: murals, studios, cafes, galleries, and pop-in places that make an afternoon feel full without feeling scheduled.
It’s also big for a “creative district”: the area is made up of multiple buildings and hundreds of small companies and studios, so it rewards wandering and curiosity.
What to Do (A Simple Checklist That Still Feels Unplanned)
- Wander and look for street art (then wander some more).
- Pop into small shops and design corners.
- Add one cultural anchor: Fotografiska.
- Finish with a relaxed dinner or bar.
If you want a full creative-day structure, start at Balti Jaam Market and walk over.
How to Do Telliskivi
- Start mid-afternoon and let the energy build into evening.
- Combine it with a neighborhood walk in Kalamaja.
- End the night with drinks — see Best Bars in Tallinn.
Pair It With
- Balti Jaam Market for lunch.
- Sunset at Noblessner for a modern waterfront finish.
When It’s Best
Telliskivi works year-round:
- Summer: terraces and long evenings.
- Autumn/winter: cozy interiors, galleries, and a great “urban warm-up” day.
If you’re planning around seasons, see Tallinn in Winter and Tallinn in Summer.
