Stalker Pathway Tallinn

Step into Estonian film history

Aubrey from Tallinn

I'm Aubrey - an SEO Manager living in Tallinn, Estonia. I grew up in Hong Kong but fell in love with this lovely medieval city. I've been living here since 2016. Outside of work, I'm an avid traveller, an enthusiastic language learner and a Pokemon Go player. I love my city because it's always alive and awake no matter the time. It has a great energy and it has amazing, very friendly ...
"Enter the once-gloomy venue from Tarkovsky's iconic film, now transformed into a vibrant pathway with cafés, restaurants and an art gallery!"

Stalker Pathway (Stalkeri käik) is in the heart of the renovated and trending Rotermann Quarter of Tallinn - which is known for its striking blend of old industrial architecture and modernised urban space.

Stalker Pathway may just look like a regular street in another hipster area with restaurants like Flamm and cafes, but actually it has a special and significant connection to the city’s cinematic history.

Stalker Pathway (Stalkeri käik) is named after Andrei Tarkovsky’s iconic film, Stalker. While in the film this street was a gloomy path leading to a forbidden zone, the Stalker Pathway has a very vibrant vibe nowadays.

For fans of Stalker and film history enthusiasts, walking through this passage feels like stepping into a piece of cinema and making you wonder how much has changed in this city since Soviet times.

Even if you aren’t familiar with the film, Stalker Pathway offers numerous restaurants, cafés, and an Art museum to enjoy during your visit.

Pierre Chocolaterie

Secret corner in old town

Step into Pierre Chocolaterie at the charming Masters’ Courtyard of local artisans. It's where my heart was stolen by a truffle filled with gorgonzola cheese.
