and spirited tours (see “Tours in Tallinn,” later).
Tallinn in Your Pocket
is the best city guidebook on Tallinn (may be free
at your hotel, otherwise €2.20 all over town, on ships, at airport newsstands,
and at the TIs). It's worth buying for its complete restaurant, hotel, and sight
listings that go far beyond what's in this topic (for pre-trip planning, use the
online edition at

)
.
Tallinn Card:
This card—sold at the TIs, airport, train station, travel
agencies, ferry ports, and big hotels—gives you free use of public transport
and entry to more than 40 museums and major sights (€12/6 hours, €24/
24 hours, €32/48 hours, €40/72 hours, comes with good info booklet,
www.tallinncard.ee
)
. From the 24-hour level up, it includes one tour of your
choice, plus a 50 percent discount on any others—by bus, by bike, or on foot
(see “Tours in Tallinn,” later, for specifics). If you're planning to take one of
these tours (otherwise €13-20) and to visit several sights (otherwise €3-6), this
card will likely save you money. Add up the cost of your intended sightseeing
to confirm. But don't buy the card primarily for its public transport benefits,
as transit passes are much cheaper.
