Parking in Tallinn
Free car parks can be found on the outskirts of the city. The car parks located in the city centre are all paid. You are charged not per hour but per 15 minutes. However, at some car parks the first 15 minutes are completely free. Follow the information signs at the car park you have chosen.
In order to park your car, you will need a so-called parking clock. You must indicate the time of your arrival at the car park and place this information under the windscreen. You can pay for parking to a parking attendant or at a parking machine. Payment is often made in cash.
Permitted blood alcohol level
If you wish to drink alcoholic beverages, note that the permitted blood alcohol level in Tallinn must not exceed 0.02 permille. If you exceed this level, be prepared for the consequences:

Remember that disqualification from driving is the exclusive right of the court. Therefore, you must not drink and drive if you do not wish to face a lot of additional problems.
