Tallinn's trams, buses and trolleybuses take a €3 Ühiskaart travel card or a tap of a contactless bank card, each tap buying an hour's travel.

Tap water is safe to drink and among the cleanest in Europe.
Right-hand side; a licence written in the Latin alphabet is accepted on its own, so no International Driving Permit is needed.
112 (single number for police, fire and ambulance)
Country-level guidance, checked against official sources. Currency, fares and entry rules change — confirm anything time-critical before you travel.
