Traditional Estonian Handcraft Workshop

Come and take part in traditional Estonian crafts, from weaving to pottery making and from knitting to braiding ribbons. For travellers who want to know more about Estonia’s culture and traditions, this is about much more than simply listening to stories, this experience allows you to feel the culture for yourself.

 

Spot World famous Street Art

Street art can be a powerful statement anywhere in the world, but in the Baltics, it represents one of the most vivid branches of art and reflects social, political and cultural changes as they happen. Wander through the streets, wither by yourself or with a guide, and get to know the cities through the eyes of the counter culture.
