Ok ive flights booked in and out of helsinki on 14 and 21 october
want to have a few days in Talin (open to any other ideas)
But want to check if anyone knows of anything beer wise that week in either place i should plan round.
Otherwise prob just gonna do talin 16th leave the 19th or something like that
It is way too early to know anything happening in Tallinn, but there are often some kind of events like tap takeovers and beer launches on Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays. These events are usually announced about a week or so before them. There probably won’t be any bigger events. One of the things you can do is to pop into Tartu. It’s about 2-2.5h train/bus ride from Tallinn and costs about 12€ (more info about trains: https://pilet.elron.ee/ , more info about the buses: https://www.tpilet.ee/ ). Beerwise there won’t be much you can’t get in Tallinn, but I think it is worth visiting just to see some other part of Estonia. I’m sure @Travlr can chip in here with some tips from non-local perspective.
We can also meet up in Tallinn (I’m sure @Marduk , @FatPhil and Anna will also join if they can) and do some kind of pub crawl.
cheers. YEah not woried abotu tap takovers etc. More if big festivals or such
Just need to work out what nights etc im booking Where.
Prob means Talin will be weekdays. as its easier to do helinki at ends as thats where im flying
but i also dont really want to do much travelling time, unless there specific things, and YES would love a meet up
Oh and thats nother question. Are most places Child friendly (as in there allowed in)
One of the nice things about Helsinki/Tallinn is that the boats are frequent and have so much capacity that you don’t need firm plans, and can almost always just travel on a whim.
A pleasant not-too-much-travelling day trip for tourism rather than beer is Rakvere. Just over an hour by train. Picturesque living-museum castle, and who doesn’t like a giant statue of an aurochs?
There are 3 ferry companies to chose from, Eckero, Tallink, and Viking Line, which does keep the competition high and the prices reasonable (they’re expecting you to splurge on the boat). Look out for Hotel package deals too, that can keep the prices down.
It depends on the courier and if you can get any deals. Generally Eckero Line and Viking Line will be cheapest (and both share the same harbour, so sometimes we aim for one and know we have a fallback on the other). If you can find a 30e return, then that’s a good price, I often pay more single. The only positive thing about Tallink is the number of boats per day.
bloody hell guys Who move Helsinki airport so far out. Whats the best way to get from airport, and as im flying Sunday 5pm, is it worth a few hours in Vantaa on way to airport, and if so whats the best way for that.
