Information and Maps
The Estonian national tourist association ( www.tourism.ee ) operates tourist offices in all the places covered here, which can be useful for booking bed-and-breakfast accommodation and hotel rooms. Most will also have a few maps , brochures and limited information on specific sights. The useful Kummerly & Frey 1:1,000,000 map of the Baltic States covers Estonia and includes a rudimentary street plan of central Tallinn. Once in the country, you'll find the range of regional maps and city plans published by local firms Regio and Eomap readily available in bookshops. The best detailed street map of Tallinn is the Falk Plan which includes enlarged Inner and Old Town sections and also covers public transport routes. For other destinations, local tourist offices and bookshops will usually have reasonably priced maps and plans. The following terms or their abbreviations are commonly encountered in Estonian addresses : mantee (mnt.) - road; puistee (pst.) - avenue; tanav (tn.) - street. Normally when giving an address or naming a street in Estonia tanav is not actually used - the street's name alone is enough.
