My husband and I going to Tallinn for a two night stay next week. How much money (GBP) do you think we will need? We aren%26#39;t planning on doing anything too extravagant, we just really need money for lunch and dinner and drinks in the evenings. Is it expensive to eat and drink in Tallinn?
|||
Good question mspzo..we%26#39;re off in march and wondered the same....
|||
Ditto me - going next Wednesday!! Same thing, me and hubby just wanting food, drink and a bit of walking / shopping. What would a basic lunch cost for instance?
|||
Hi
You can spend as much or as little as you want. Lunch or dinner in any restaurant in the Old Town Square costs an arm or a leg, wander outside the Old Town a little way and you could do a decent dinner for two for less than £20.
Have a look at the online In Your Pocket guide for some reasonably up to date prices, although they tend to quote the price of a main course rather than the whole meal and that should give you a better idea.
Have a good trip

mspzo ..hope you have a fabulous time- would you do me a favour please - let me know how cold it feels during the day and evening...i know its all relative but wondering how many layers to pack.
Also I am expecting it to be be much colder in the evening- so what do people do with all their layers when they get to a restaurant?
May sound daft but.....
Thank you... Anyone who has just come back please feel free to advise!

Hi
I took the layers advice but it%26#39;s rubbish. You get to a restaurant and it takes you ten minutes to strip off. I think a good quilted coat is the answer, you can open it when you are warm walking and take it off when you go indoors.

cheers jackie

about how much it cost.. well, during lunch time you can get a good lunch around 100 eek (sorry, im too lazy to convert to pounds)
and about layers. im local so i can assure you - no need to panic. due to changing climate we dont have cold winters any more. unless there%26#39;s wind, it feels around -1 but some days it%26#39;s even warmer. but what is essential, if you want to walk a lot outside - shoes that are waterproof are a really good things to have these days! here its snowing-melting, snowing-melting all the time so your feet can get really wet.
hope you%26#39;ll have a great time here

O.M.G...
I have just spent a fortune on a jacket thats like a duvet... ski trousers... plus loads of layers..... We chose to visit Tallin in march because we want to experience the cold and snow (hopefully) !!Something that we havent had in our part of the UK for years! Now I am wondering.....In Krakow (march) Athens (November) we went expecting it to be cold and in the end walked round with gillet and lond sleeve t.shirts!
N%26#39;er mind whatever we will enjoy the experience of Tallin.... can always just sit i the ICE BAR to get cold!!!

I hate to say it, but your money could have been better spent than on those clothes. Winters in the Baltics and Scandinavia have become much milder and today in Riga didn%26#39;t feel any different to a February day in the UK. In fact with less of a wind chill factor it was maybe warmer!
|||
in comparison to other places (eastern europe etc) i found Tallinn fairly expensive...for your 2 night stay i%26#39;d say a few hundred to be comfortably relaxed that you have enough for your brief!
although cold, by British standards, i found Tallinn much milder than i had been led to believe it would be...that was mid jan.
