Hi

Download a copy of the %26quot;In your pocket guide%26quot; and then buy a full copy when you arrive. Take a little time to go through the hard copy because it will tell you about any happenings in the city, also it will tell you which bus or tram to catch to wherever you want to go.

The %26quot;Footprint%26quot; guide is also a fount of information and together they should be enough to make you quite well informed.

I also buy a copy of the City Paper as soon as we arrive at our hotel, it usually has a few interesting articles in it about Estonia as well as the other Baltic countries.

appreciate that Jackie..

We got an %26quot;Tallinn In Your Pocket%26quot; duide when we got to the city and it was great. Very good listings especially for sightseeing and restaurants.

Otherwise the Lonely Planet %26quot;Best of Tallinn%26quot; guidebook was quite useful and as Jackie said the Footprint Guide is very good

The little Berlitz travel book on Tallinn is worth a look too ,

available at WHS

I agree with Jackie34, if you buy Tallinn in your pocket and the Footprint guide you should have enough books. The Footprint guide tell how to get to the spesial places, i.e. what bus to take, or what tram or trolleybus to take. But there are only a few photoes and they are black/white.

Tallinn in your pocket also are a good guide, in my opinion, especially at restaurants and cafes.

I definitely agree with the others about %26quot;In Your Pocket%26quot;. I always get the latest copy in Tallinn. If you%26#39;re traveling elsewhere in Estonia, the Rough Guide to the Baltic States has good tips, info and historical background. In Tallinn I usually stay at the Reval Hotel Central, which is very good value for money and has a great location. About 55 euros for a double on Reval%26#39;s site during off-season, sometimes even cheaper on Expedia. Or try www.hrs.com for a good selection of hotels and prices. You might check hotel catalogues at a good travel agent as well. I don%26#39;t know if they offer much in the UK.

Thanks ANDY.. I%26#39;ve managed to get hold of a copy of Tallinn In your pocket - and will get an updated version when there... i%26#39;ve also received books and maps from the Tallinn Tourist Board... so have lots to look at and plans to make... Staying at the Baltic Imperial and they ahve said they can organise a tour guide for us... In the past in Poland each time we have arranged this before and had excellent students of english for practically all day.. but that was warsaw and krakow... i am assuming Tallin isnt so big and therefore we may only need a guide for half a day or so?

If anyone knows of someone please let me know..Thanks again..
