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. Other useful information
