Labora Shop Tallinn
Estonia letterpress on handmade paper
Labora is a tiny shop in Tallinn's Old Town. It specialises in handmade paper, letterpress printing, and calligraphy. Labora’s charm lies in its dedication to preserving traditional techniques while crafting beautifully designed objects.
This is my go-to place when I would like to buy postcards or greeting cards for my friends and family. What I found particularly delightful was their seed paper, which not only serves as a thoughtful greeting card but can also be planted to grow wildflowers, combining art with nature in a truly meaningful way.
Unlike other souvenir shops that sell similar touristy items, here you can find some unique and original postcards for your loved ones. Whether you’re a paper lover or just looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, Labora is a place you won’t want to miss.

Frank
Sinatra would drink here
"Frank" in Tallinn has this 1940s New Year New York flair. Simple but beautiful furniture, a sophisticated and warm atmosphere... I love it all!

Boheem Kohvik
Nice place for dinner
"Boheem Kohvik" is one of my favorite spots in Tallinn for lunch. This nice and quiet restaurant makes, in my opinion, the best Caesar's salad in the city.

Hell Hunt
Probably the best pub in town
"Hell Hunt" is my go-to option when I just can't come up with any ideas of where to go for a drink or food in Tallinn. A chaotic, cheerful pub/restaurant.
