The beautifully renovated Rotermann district is just a short distance from the port, city centre and Medieval Old Town. The shopping and dining district, located between the Old Town and the Viru Centre, is also an easy place to stop by when in Tallinn centre. Originally built in the 20th century, the area was once home to a salt factory, alcohol, furniture and pasta.
The architecture of the Rotermann Quarter is an open-minded mix of old and new
Once upon a time, Rotermann was also home to a flour mill for making bread and a large convenience store. Today, the architecturally valuable former salt factory houses the Estonian Museum of Architecture and the Rotermann Quarter has become a charming world of restaurants and shopping.
The redevelopment of the Rotermann quarter has been a success, with the district consisting of old buildings and new buildings built on their site. The complex has retained its character and Rotermann, with its unconventional buildings, offers plenty to delight the eye, as well as services and restaurants. Rotermanni is a lively quarter with shops, restaurants, cafés and offices, as well as residential buildings.
The district contains a number of restaurants, services and shops
Rotermann is home to a wide variety of restaurants. Café Levier offers a selection of pastries as well as snacks. Wine restaurant R14 is the perfect setting for both dinner and lunch.
Souvenirs can be bought at the Estonian Design House, where you can find Estonian designers’ work from all over the world. In the Rotermann district, you’ll also find COS, which focuses on Scandinavian fashion, and hotell Metropol. You can shop for clothes, for example at Bershka, Stradivarius and Bull & Bear.
The Rotermann district is its own little island in the middle of the city, with just about every service you could wish for within walking distance. If you want to eat in a very cosy place, shop and soak up the city’s atmosphere, we recommend a visit to this picturesque quarter, which combines old and new.
The Rotermann district is a fast-moving shopper’s dream. The historic district is modernised and ideally located – within walking distance of Tallinn harbour and the hub for everything from morning coffee to dinner and from lingerie to evening wear.
The industrial architecture alone makes the site unique and there are many shops in the area. The restaurants in the district are of high quality and the terraces serve well into the evening. It is also easy to get there by car, as there is a large parking garage underneath the area..
