Fares are more expensive when you buy tickets from the driver. 

What is good to know if travelling to Tallinn?

• Lace is a speciality of Estonia and you’ll find a lot for sale in Tallinn. Other local items to look out for include carved wood, leather, ceramics, wool jewelry and a huge amount of Communist “memorabilia” – including Stalin Russian dolls. Big open air markets are the best place to find a bargain.
• In the Old Town, take a walk past the wonderful Hessburger fast food restaurant. Nothing like the Golden Arches, this burger bar resembles a gigantic 1950s chrome caravan, with old-fashioned red bubble writing. It’s situated near the walls and makes a rather incongruous sight.
• There are viewing platforms on the top of Toompea Hill, which offer a great view of the town’s red-roofed houses.
• If you’re planning on visiting more than one museum, purchase a Tallinn card, which gives free entry to 40 museums, as well as free transport, free sightseeing tours, free spa visits, entrance to a nightclub and discounts in many restaurants and shops. You can buy a six, 24, 48 or 72 hour card from the tourist office.
