The
“Sweater Wall”
is a fun place to browse sweaters and woolens, though few are
hand-knitted by grandmothers these days. Find the stalls under the wall on Müürivahe
street (daily 10:00-17:00, near the corner of Viru street). From there, explore
Katariina
Käik,
a small alley between Müürivahe and Vene streets, which has several handicraft
stores and workshops selling pieces that make nice souvenirs.
The cheery
Navitrolla Gallerii
is filled with work by the well-known Estonian artist
who goes just by the name Navitrolla. His whimsical, animal-themed prints are vaguely
reminiscent of
Where the Wild Things Are
(Mon-Fri 10:00-18:00, Sat 10:00-17:00, Sun
10:00-16:00, Sulevimägi 1, near Tallinn Backpackers, tel. 631-3716,

)
.
The
Rahva Raamat
bookstore in the Viru Keskus mall (floors 3-4) has plenty of Eng-
lish books mixed throughout its shelves (daily 9:00-21:00).
