PA¤rnu
tourist office
is at RA?A?tli 16 (June-Aug Mon-Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 10am-3pm; Sept-May Mon-Fri 9am-5pm; tel 244/73000,
www.parnu.ee
). English-speaking staff have maps and can provide accommodation price lists.
Private rooms
(under A?5/$8/a?¬9) are available from Tanni Vakoma, a block east of the bus station at Hommiku 5 (tel 244/43913). Best of the
hotels
are grouped between the town centre and the beach: the
Vesiroos
, Esplanaadi 42a (tel 244/43350; A?10-15/$16-24/a?¬18-27), has sparse en-suites; while the
Leharu
, PA¤rna 12 (tel 244/45895; A?10-15/$16-24/a?¬18-27), has functional but cosy rooms on the fourth floor of a high-rise sanatorium. If it's full, the
Monate,
on the next floor up (tel 244/41472; A?10-15/$16-24/a?¬18-27), offers similar standards. The
Lootos
, opposite the Vesiroos at Muru 1 (tel 244/31030; A?15-20/$24-32/a?¬27-36), has rooms with TV.
Linnakamping Green
, 3km east of the centre, has cabins for 100EEK a bed, and tent pitches for 60EEK (May-Sept).
For
food
,
Kohvik Georg
, RA?A?tli 43, is an inexpensive but civilized self-service restaurant open until 7.30pm; while
Steffani
, Nikolai 24, has a big choice of pizza and pasta dishes.
MAµnus Margarita
, Akadeemia 5, is a lively Tex-Mex joint with reasonable prices. The best of the
drinking
venues also do good food - try
VA¤ike Klaus
, a pub-style venue at Supeluse 3 with a meaty Estonian menu; or the nearby
Texas Honky Tonk
at Supeluse 14, an eye-catching place decked out in kitschy Americana and offering a good line in TexMex snacks. UP, 100m west of the bus station on Pikk, is the principal venue for mainstream-techno clubbing. You can log onto the
Internet
at the New Art Museum (daily 9am-9pm; 30EEK/hr). Other useful information
