Hi! Is there anyone who can answer me the following questions:
1. name / web page of the ferry's company from Tallinn to Stockhom?
2. the schedule of the ferry from Tallinn to Stockhom?
3. how can I book the ferry from Tallinn to Stockhom?
Thankyou!

Tere!

We've got a day in Tallinn in May. Looking forward to it very much!

The question is - we've read that Tallinn can be a bit difficult to walk around with cobbled streets and steep streets.

In our party, we have a someone with two bad knees - she thinks she can probably manage, but slowly. Just wondering what people who know the lay of the land (literally!) think? Is it worth organising a bus tour for her instead? Any suggestions? She is concerned about not being able to keep up with the other tour members if she joins an organised tour.

The other part of our party involves a pram (with 'all terrain' tyres, easy to push but weighing about 30kg loaded up with 2 kids!) - we're thinking that we should be able to manage the cobbled streets but wondered if Toompea Hill would be a bit too ambitious?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a tourist bus parking near historic centre of Talinn?

Hi, I will be travelling from Tallinn to Helsinki by Ferry on June the 1st and returning the next day to Tallinn. I am looking for info on booking a ferry. I've looked at the ferry companies (Tallink etc.)webistes but they don't seem to let me book directly through the site.
My questions are;
Can I book my ferry beforehand?
Is it necessary to book the ferry or can I buy a ticket the day of travel in Tallinn?
What is the best (cheapest) ferry company (Doesn't have to be the fastest (2-3 hours sail time)
What should I expect to pay?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

My friend and I are going to be in Tallin and wanted to go to St. Petersburg. Does anyone know the best way to get to St. Petersburg from Tallin? Flying seems quite expensive. Thanks!

Can anyone advise on the best book shops for English language books.

Hello all. At the end of spril we are visiting Estonia for 10 days. We stay in Tallinn and have rented a car. We wanna see as much as possible. One of the things that we would like to do is to travel one day to Russia by rented car. Can anyone tell if its possible and what problems at customs we have to solve. We are from the Netherlands.

Thanks in advance,

Can anyone give first hand information on the Baier Kelder (St Barbara Hotel)

Hello! How many the boat on Pedassaar can transport people for one trip? And a yacht? How many money costs travel of one person there and back? Thanks!

Have went through a lot of hostels, a private room for two costs at least 50euro. Is the same price good enough for a stay in a hotel as well? Any hotel/hostel around the price could you recommend? The euro is 20% higher than the time I started planning for this trip.  Thanks.

We are considering travel to Latvia, Estonia and/or Lithuania in fall 2008. With the dollar/euro so out of balance, have the prices in the Baltics been adversely affected as well?

We are taking our 8 year old grandson to Tallinn in August and would like to take him to some places in Tallinn that he would enjoy, so if anyone can help that would be great...thank you for your help. Jac

Hi,

My friend and I (two 30 year old girls) are planning to visit the Baltics in July. Can you tell me where we should go in addition to Tallin for a good mix of culture/fun? Thanks for your help!

Can anyone advise on the following restaurants.
The Admiral
Baier Kelder (St Barbara Hotel)
Beer House
Peppersack

Can anyone tell me the cost of a taxi to or from Tallinn airport.

I am looking for a beach house or flat in haapsalu for the month of august

I will be arriving Tallinn at 0030 on 24/4. Is bus still running? If I take taxi to the old town, how much does it cost? Can I pay the fare with USD?

Hi, I'll be spending the Easter weekend in Tallinn and was wondering whether anyone knows where I can attend the Easter church services at any Catholic churches and what time the services are? Thanks!

Will travel to Tallinn, Riga, Sigulda, Vilnius by bus in late April. Tried to check bus schedule and fares on web (www.eurolines.ee) but got contradictory prices. For example, from Vilnius to Warszawa, if I use LTL as currency, the fare is LTL105 for train departs at 2130; if use EURO as currency, the fare is 30euro and only departs at 1500 on the same day (1/5). Any tricks here?

We are thinking of touring Estonia and the other Baltic States, as well as Poland in July. We have allocated 18 days, and plan to travel independently. We have no knowledge of these languages - though one of us can speak some German.

Can you tell us if this time-frame is too short?
Will we likely have difficulty not being able to speak the local languages?
Are we likely to have trouble getting transport, or accommodation without booking well in advance?
We have some ideas about what we want to see, but just in case.... What are the main features of these countries that we should try to see whilst we are there?

Any information would be very helpful.

Regards,

I' like to spend a week in Tallinn and another week in another place is Estonia or in another country not far fronm there. What would you suggest me?

We will be in Tallinn for one day (a Wednesday) in August as part of a cruise. My wife is an expert knitter. We will, of course, visit the Sweater Wall, but she will be more interested in buying local yarn than buying finished products. Where would you suggest she look?

Hello Everyone,

I plan to visit the Baltic States at the end of August/ beginning of September. I am on the process to look for flight, rental cars, hotels etc.

Have everyone ever heard from SIA addCar Rental (www.addcarrental.com)? Is it a serious company with a good reputation?

Of course I am also thankful for additional tipps. So dont hesitate to give your tipps about hotels, restaurants, sights to visit etc.

Thank you for your help

One day in Tallinn planned -- Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas on Wednesday, August 6. My wife -- a master knitter -- will certainly want to take the time during our walking to see what Tallinn has to offer in the way of wool. Any suggestions of shops or neighborhoods?

Hi Guys,

I am looking to book a trip to Estonia (Tallinn and Riga) from London for a weekend Thursday to Sunday for me and two friends, all men.

I would like to know who would you recommend to fly with for the cheapest deals?

How to approach this weekend - where to go first and how long to stay?

We are all men up for drinking and having a laugh and mainly coming to party. So I guess where is the best nightlife and recommended to go ? and where to stay in Tallinn or Riga for what duration?

Also any places of accomodation that you can recommend that's not too expensive. I guess our Budget is £200 each inc flights and hotel.

Look forward to yuor replies all help will be gratefully excepted as we have never been to Eastern europe.

Any Do's and Don'ts ?

Thanks in advance

I am planning to visit first week of March, what is it like then? Is there snow in and around town usually?
What is happening at that time that we should not miss?

Hello! We are a group of 4 people coming to Tallinn in March, would you recommend a company to book an English speaking private guide? Or is it enough to walk around by yourself?
Thank you!
