Euros in Tallinn

I am arriving at 22.55 in Talinn next month and taking the ferry to Helsinki in the afternoon the next day.

Will there be moneychaging facilities at the airport at that time? I guess there should be an ATM but as I don%26#39;t need to change very much (hotel and ferry ticket already paid; 6hr Tallinn card I could pay by credit card), I would rather avoid this if I could - I hate the minimum charge imposed for ATM withdrawals.

1)I was just wondering if I can pay for the airport bus to town in Euros (I don%26#39;t mind if the rate in not good as it%26#39;s only a few Euros anyway). Is this possible?

2)Otherwise, does anyone know if there is any chance of purchasing some kroons somewhere in Central London without pre-ordering?

3) Finally, if I don%26#39;t change my remaining kroons in Estonia, can I change them to Euros in Helsinki at a fair rate? Or is it essential to change back all remaining kroons in Estonia itself?

You can use Estonian crowns on the ferry, which will also have an exchange office.

You can%26#39;t pay in euros on the airport bus into town. There is an exchange place in the arrivals area (before passport control) when you can get kroons. You will need exact change for the bus (12 eek last time I took it).

There are exchange places all over Old Town but you are better off going to a real bank for a decent exchange rate. (They advertise a decent rate, still less than the banks, but ok on the front but when you go in, you find out that is only the rate for a large exchange and they give you a lousy rate. As an example, they were advertising 15.15 on the door but offered me 14.0 inside...I got 15.35 at the bank the same day).
