REDI
Shopping mall opened in September 2018, built around the Kalasatama metro station. Redi is said to be the most labyrinthine shopping centre in Europe, mostly because the metro tracks cuts the mall in half, so that is by itself an interesting thing to experience. The Majakka building on top of the mall is the second tallest skyscraper in the Nordic countries (after Turning Torso in Malmö).

Kalasatama
Literally "fish harbour", this is a new seafront neighbourhood which has an interesting brick touch to it. Not a typical tourist destination, but some architecture lovers might find the place interesting. Also home to a big, crazy statue of a Siberian Jay. A new shopping and living complex Redi has been built there, with the first phase opened in autumn 2018.
