GENERAL INFO

Eesti WWW Wärk
The most useful of the various search engines for Estonian web sites.

Estonian Foreign Ministry
Excellent site with info about Estonia, its politics, economy, foreign policy and other information.

Estonian Tourism Board
Useful basics to Estonia

In Your Pocket
The publishers of Tallinn In Your Pocket and so many other tourist guides. The best by far, and indispensable either as a traveller or a resident in those cities.

Tallinn
Official site of the city, with photos, events and other information.

FOOD AND DRINK

A. Le Coq
Probably the best beer in Estonia, formerly known as Tartu beer.

Eesti Maja (Estonian House)
The best -- and only -- place in Tallinn to get top-rate Estonian food! And it's cheap too!

Kapten Tenkes
Though not totally genuine, this Hungarian restaurant in Tallinn is one of the best places for a long lunch -- to also enjoy the best wines and brandies of Hungary! And if you know the TV programme, it's on constantly!

Saku
Excellent Estonian beer. Try the dark ("tume" in Estonia, "porter" in export) if you have the stomach!

Šoti klubi
The Scottish club. Not really authentic, but if you're dying for haggis and McEwens, there's not many other options. Plus, they got plenty of single malt scotches there -- with a huge store next door selling these awesome samples of uisce beatha.

Some of my favourite restaurants and bars don't have webpages yet, but here are a few I recommend: Argentiina (South American grill in the heart of Tallinn!), Diesel Boots (best wings in town, my favourite bar), Papa Pizza (good and cheap pizza - even venison!), Baieri kelder (for big Bavarian meals), Kuku kohvik (the wonderful cafe formerly known as Wiiralti kohvik that all us proggers meet at every Sunday afternoon), Bonaparte (best pastry and quiche in town), and Karja kelder (cheap and good beer and hearty food!).

MEDIA

Baltic Times
Only English-language weekly paper in the Baltics.

Eesti Ekspress
A weekly addiction for me, Estonia's best weekly.

Eesti Päevaleht
My favourite Estonian newspaper.

Postimees
Estonia's leading paper.

SL Õhtuleht
Estonia's much loved/maligned tabloid. Yes, I read it, I admit it.

TRAVEL

Estonian Air
Excellent airline that services most of Europe. One of the biggest leg room of all airlines!

Estravel
My favourite travel agency, the best in Estonia! They can do just about everything for you.

Nordic Jet Lines
Though they screwed up my schedule last time, it's still the fastest and most comfortable way to get to Tallinn from Helsinki.
