On Jõe tänav down by the river, opened in 2022, with a shared lounge and kitchen so you can cook rather than eat out. Advance booking only — ring or email rather than turning up at the door.

A self-guided walk around the outside of the Kreenholm textile complex on Joala street, with audio pieces written by the historian Katri Raik in English, Estonian, Finnish and Russian. Free, at any hour. The factory island itself is closed and only enterable on the museum's paid Sunday tour.

Thirteen routes, roughly twice an hour, 6:00 to 23:00. A ticket from the driver is €1.00; with an Atko bus card a single ride is €0.70, a day €1.50 and ten days €8.00. Cards are sold in post offices, R-Kiosk and the Prisma and Selver supermarkets.

The castle at Peetri plats 7 and the Art Gallery at Vestervalli 21 are separate tickets. Both are closed Monday and Tuesday: castle Wednesday to Saturday 10:00–18:00 and Sunday 10:00–16:00, gallery the same but open to 19:00 on Wednesday. Ticket desks shut an hour before the museum does.

The verifiable numbers: a city bus ride €0.70 with a card or €1.00 from the driver, a day card €1.50; the Kreenholm audio tour, the river promenade and the Joaoru recreation area free. The museums are the main charge, and a day here costs a fraction of the same day in Tallinn.
