Balti Jaam Market
Balti Jaama Turg
A renovated three-storey indoor market beside the railway station. Fresh food and snacks on the ground floor, antiques and second-hand goods upstairs, and hugely popular with locals.
The history of Balti Jaam Market goes back to an open-air market beside the railway station in the 19th century. In 2017 it was rebuilt as a modern indoor market of red brick and glass. The ground floor has stalls selling vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, smoked fish, cheese and bread, along with a row of snack stands. Here you can try Estonian rye bread, smoked eel, dumplings, Uzbek plov, Vietnamese noodles and more. The upper floor sells antiques, Soviet-era badges, old cameras, second-hand clothing and handicrafts. There is also a supermarket in the basement. The outdoor area has farmers' stalls on weekends. It is a good place for lunch and some treasure hunting. Entry is free. Opening hours vary by stall, and some stalls close early on Sundays. The market is next to Balti Jaam railway and tram stops, about a 5-minute walk from Tallinn's Viru Gate in the old town.
