You should definitely visit this old market that has the spirit of a bygone era, as a brand new market area will be built in the near future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the vegetable area, the stalls placed next to each other form attractive food alleys. The people of Tallinn go to buy seasonal products at the central market, because the prices are cheap and the quality is good. In early summer, you can find seedlings for the garden at the market, and in late summer, domestic berries and mushrooms. In addition to foodstuffs, clothing and household items are also sold at the market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-85x57.jpg 85w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-210x140.jpg 210w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Keskustori-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Keskturg&#8217;s tables are overflowing with fresh fruits and berries of the season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-85x57.jpg 85w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-210x140.jpg 210w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lihamestari-Zaraddin-Gusseinov-Keskustori-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Butcher Zaraddin Gusseinov prepares shaslik cuts of meat.

The 3-storey market building underwent a complete renovation five years ago, creating a trendy shopping area, which is also reflected in the prices. Balti Jaama Turg is clearly more expensive than Keskturg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the basement floor, there is a grocery store, a gym, a hair salon, a laundry, a health food store, and a pet store. The ground floor has a fruit and vegetable street, a large meat hall and several street food restaurants. There are more vegetable stalls, street restaurants and a fish hall in the outdoor spaces in front of the market. On the upper floor, there is an antique area, clothing, textile and home accessories stores, as well as the brewery restaurant Humalakoda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The fish hall on the ground floor is spacious and very versatile. In addition to fresh fish, delicious preserves and pates are also available. At the counter of Kalamajakas you can taste Irish and French oysters with sparkling wine. &#8220;Here, we guide you on how to eat these,&#8221; says <strong>Natalia Sutormina<\/strong>, showing how to open an oyster and how to eat it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Kalamaja area has traditionally been the area of \u200b\u200bfishermen and seafarers. Every Saturday, behind Linnahall, a small but versatile fish market opens on the seashore. In the outdoor market, fishermen and merchants sell their catch. In addition, the selection includes salted fish, smoked fish and various canned fish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-85x57.jpg 85w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-210x140.jpg 210w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/No\u0303mmen-tori-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>N\u00f5mme&#8217;s picturesque market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The districts of Tallinn have their own markets<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Southern Tallinn&#8217;s own market can be found in the green residential area of \u200b\u200bN\u00f5mme. The market can be reached by train from the centre of Tallinn in just 12 minutes. N\u00f5mme turg was opened all the way back in 1908. The market&#8217;s vegetable and flower stalls spread out in front of a beautiful wooden market hall. Tasty local meat can be bought at the end of the market hall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The outdoor market also has smaller stalls of many Estonian meat and dairy farms, a cheese shop and a Kalev chocolate shop, as well as cafes and a few street restaurants. In the middle of the market, in front of the fountain, there is an atmospheric square where daytime concerts are organised during the summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can get to Mustam\u00e4e market by bus, getting off at the Lehola bus stop. Fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, fish and household items can be found at the stalls of the outdoor market. Concerts and seasonal markets are sometimes organised on the square.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.astri.ee\/keskturg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Keskturg<\/strong><\/a>,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Keskturg\/@59.4302995,24.7663614,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x469294a71297fe25:0x1dd9e0589aa6c12b!8m2!3d59.4302995!4d24.7663614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Keldrim\u00e4e 9, Tallinn<\/span><\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Open every day from 8 am to 4:30 pm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.astri.ee\/bjt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Balti Jaama Turg<\/strong><\/a>,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Balti+Jaama+Turg\/@59.4412232,24.7327769,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4692937dc1556179:0x78b068573a47fa26!8m2!3d59.4412232!4d24.7349656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kopli 1, Tallinn<\/span><\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Open Mon-Sat 9 am\u20137 pm, Sun 9 am\u20135 pm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kalaturg<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Balti+Jaama+Turg\/@59.4412232,24.7327769,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4692937dc1556179:0x78b068573a47fa26!8m2!3d59.4412232!4d24.7349656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kalasadama 5, Tallinn<\/span><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sat from 9 am-3 pm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>N\u00f5mme turg<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/N%C3%B5mme+Market\/@59.3888592,24.6832947,19z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x469295053c117b69:0xc61fd1ab244f0cb3!8m2!3d59.3888592!4d24.6838419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Turu plats 8, Tallinn<\/span><\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Open Mon\u2013Sat 9 am\u20136 pm, Sun 9 am\u20135 pm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mustam\u00e4e turg<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Mustam%C3%A4e+turg\/@59.4031278,24.6855234,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x469294feeabf00e1:0x714dc6193e165424!8m2!3d59.4031278!4d24.6855234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">E.
