Timeline
14:26
Grab a bite or a drink early. F-hoone is a former industrial hall turned bistro that gets busy in the evenings. Arriving before the rush gives you a chance to find a table without a reservation.
15:26
Walk into the Kalamaja Quarter. This historic suburb of wooden buildings is the perfect place to wait out the final minutes of daylight. The narrow streets and 19th-century architecture set the mood for the evening.
15:56
Watch the sun set toward the SW. The low winter light casts long shadows across the old wooden facades. This is the peak moment of the experience.
16:41
Head to Kohvik Moon for dinner. As a highly rated restaurant serving traditional Estonian food with Russian influence, it is a great spot for a substantial meal after the walk. It is usually quite popular, so being seated is a win.
17:56
End the night at Hell Hunt. This comfortable, homey pub offers a wide selection of beers and decent food. It is a relaxed place to unwind after dinner, and the spare ribs are a local favorite.
