Hi!!! I still posted this text in the "Tallinn-Forum", but didn´t receive an answer. Now I found, that there is this forum, too. I don´t understand the difference between Tallinn County and Tallinn, but whatsoever perhaps you can help me: We are a group of 12 students from germany spending 5 days in Tallinn over New Years Eve. We still got a lot information (thank you), but have one important qeustion left: What to do in the last night of this year? Is there a party you can especially recommend? Perhaps an all inclusive party would be nice, but it is not a duty. Imortant for us is that we are not just tourists in there! Looking forward to your requests! Best wishes Hans7er

Thanks, Izaac

I want to make fellow VT'ers aware that this hostel at present is simply filling up beds regardless of people having confirmed reservation. I arrived there last Wed at 2330 for what was the first night of my three night confirmed reservation. I had e-mailed them 72 hours before and 48 hours before reconfirming my booking and late arrival to make sure after my long journey from Scotland everything was ok. No beds were available when I arrived, I had to sleep on the floor, which was the only option as other hostels around had nothing either. I was charged the normal rate of 15 euro for the night. I then had to rely the following morning on people booking out to get my remaining 2 nights. The admin/organisation in this hostel is not up to scratch at present.Other backpackers suffered a similar fate later on the same week. To fill the beds and then start charging for sleeping on the floor is not on. Backpackers beware of this hostel- anyone suffered a similar fate?

Hi everyone! I'm a 26 years old spaniard fool who's just bought a one-way flight to Tallinn. I'll arrive next saturday 15th August, and I'm planning to return to my place by travelling trough Europe. Since I love clubbing & dancing as much as travelling, my idea is doing the second during the week (backpacking, that is) and going out during weekends. My plan for next saturday is going to the Ibiza night at the Holliwood. Anyone wants to join me? I speack english, french & spanish. The first two are surprisingly good, considering where I'm from. I'm afraid I don't speack estonian at all, but I'll do my best to learn some. At least some rude words :) If you are afraid of writing on the forum, send me an e-mail! Just click on my name & then in "e-mail me!" Tänan! Enrique

Hi, I will be in Tallinn in August for several days. We wanted to hire a car and explore a little bit. Can anyone recommend any reliable local car rental agencies, or give any recommendations on where is best to get a car from. There is only 2 of us so just need something small. Also any suggestions on where to go? Are thinking of visiting the beach and Lahemma National Park? Are these good ideas? Is the waterfall at Lahemma worth seeing (looks good in photos!) or are there nicer places to drive to. Looking to limit ourselves to roughly a 2 hour radius of Tallinn but open to suggestions. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Hi, Wife and I spent three great days in Tallinn in March this year and now can't wait to get back there. One of the things that was so nice was the weather. Freezing cold, but a pretty picture of snow covered fields and streets. Beautiful! We have a chance to get away for three nights at the beginning of December. Would the snow have already started by then so we can expect more of the same? Would there be a Christmas feel to the place even from 3rd to 6th of December, you know, decorations, special events etc?
