Kalev Chocolate Shop and Workshop

As with many other traditional cuisines, the origins of marzipan are debated. Others say that a man who worked at the Raeapteek pharmacy in Tallinn invented the almond candy, while some attribute its invention to Germany. There is no disputing, however, that Kalev Chocolate Shop and Workshop is the best location in Estonia to try marzipan today. This candy store, which is located in the old Rotermann Quarter, assembles enticing gift baskets of marzipan and handcrafted chocolates as well as amusing marzipan figurines in the form of animals. It can be considered as one of the Best Places To Visit In Tallinn.

Kalev Chocolate Shop and Workshop also offers visitors the chance to don an apron and experiment with creating their own treats in the workshop. If you have the time, doing this in Tallin is enjoyable. The two hours of practical instruction are led by a master confectioner who will demonstrate how to make chocolate truffles and mold and decorate marzipan using time-honored methods. At the conclusion of this creative experience, don't be surprised if you eat as much candy as you intend to bring home.

Only a short stroll separates you from the Port of Tallinn is the Kalev Chocolate Shop and Workshop. If you're only stopping by the Estonian capital for a day trip or cruise from Helsinki, you can easily fit in a class at the candy store to make your brief trip even more enjoyable.
