Trading

In many ways Estonia is a shopper’s paradise – first and foremost because of the generally low prices and high quality of goods on offer. Here you’ll find the majority of well-known global brands, often much cheaper than elsewhere in the world.

Most shops are open from 9.00 am to 6.00 or 7.00 pm. The larger department stores in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu have longer opening hours.

Supermarkets are usually open until 10.00 pm. The sale of liquor is prohibited after 10.00 pm and the only place where one can buy alcoholic beverages is at different entertainment facilities.
