 Estonian kroon note by HORSCHECK
The local currency in Estonia is the Eesti kroon (EEK). Cash can be exchanged at banks and exchange offices (Valuutavahetus). Before exchanging money, I recommend to check the rates and fees of a few offices.
There are often differences in the rates. The
sign "0 % COMMISSION" does mostly refer
only to "SELL" and not to "BUY" transactions.
Don't hesitate to ask, how much you really
get for your local currency.
Don't exchange your money on the street; these people usually cheat you with other foreign currencies. Leave a Comment

As we are in Estonia, there obviously is some traditional procedure you should follow (first the 'master of the house' should pour the tin and the youngest family member should get it out of the bucket, etc.). Interpreting the result is done in two ways - by looking at the chunk itself or by examining the shadow it makes on the wall.
The picture is a bit blurry. But then, I guess my whole future is too : - )
Try not to be too drunk when you do this though. Molten tin tends to be a wee bit hot... Leave a Comment

 Mmmmm..... by FletteMette
Among the Old Town cafés, aforementioned Maiasmokk (see my restaurant tips) is always a good place to enjoy a cup of coffee & sweet cakes, pastries & marzipan - but you'll never have trouble finding yummy cakes in the many Old Town cafés - your main problem will rather be to find room in your stomach for it all... :o)
Most supermarkets also have a good selection of cakes - you can get one piece, or a whole, large cake if you're of the greedy kind - try Rimi on Aia street in the Old Town, Stockmann, or the supermarket in the basement of the Viru Centre. Leave a Comment

This is the cheapest way to see the city if you plan to visit a few museums and landmarks. Depending on the type of card you purchase you will also be able to jump on a city sightseeing tour, use public transport and obtain freebies- a copy of Tallinn In your Pocket (an incredibly informative publication) and a selection of Tallinn postcards. You have a choice of 6 hours (which does not include the city sightseeing tour) – 90EEK (6 Euro), 24 hours – 250EEK (16 Euro), 48 hours – 300EEK (19 Euro) and 72 hours – 350EEK (22.5 Euro). You can buy the card at the Tourist Information Offices, Tallinn Airport, various travel agencies and some hotels. Leave a Comment

Riga and Tallinn sometimes is compared by something, but the metal signs what I love we don’t have. I’ve seen many in Salzburg and here also they are almost on every corner. If you’re artist you’ll place outside your shop some sign, bakeries and craftsmen are hanging out different things. Very nice! Leave a Comment
