Dont want to carry too much or too little. Whats the average cash people carry when travelling around Estonia?
For me, Estonia was one of the cheaper European trips. €70 daily covered a hostel, public buses, and food from markets like Balti Jaama Turg. I spent €5-€7 on bakery lunches, €10-€15 for dinners, and €25 on activities like a walking tour of the Old Town. Ferries to nearby islands were extra but still under €20. Compared to Scandinavia, Estonia felt very affordable, though not as cheap as the Balkans. €70-€90 a day is a safe range.
I’d say Estonia averages around €80-€100 per day if you want some comfort. I stayed in mid-range hotels at €50 a night, ate in cafés for €8-€12, and spent €15 on taxis when I didn’t feel like waiting for buses. Day trips to the countryside add €30-€50, but worth it if you like hiking. A pint of beer in Tallinn was €4-€5, so nights out do add up. If you’re on a tighter budget, hostels and local markets will help.
Estonia can be done cheaply if you stick to local food and buses. I got by on €60 daily traveling between Tallinn and Tartu. Guesthouses were €25, cafeteria meals were €5-€7, and intercity buses were around €10. The main splurge was taking the ferry to Saaremaa, which cost about €15, plus €30 for a rented bike. Otherwise, attractions like the KGB Prison Cells museum were €7, so nothing outrageous. If you budget €60-€70, you’ll cover basics with room for extras.
I spent about €70-€80 per day in Tallinn. Hostel beds in the Old Town were €20-€25, local meals like dumplings or soups cost €7-€10, and a tram ticket was €The big expense for me was visiting Lahemaa National Park on a day trip, which came to €40 including transport. Museums and entry fees in Tallinn were affordable, usually €5-€8. If you want nightlife in Telliskivi, add another €20 for drinks. Overall, €80 a day is pretty comfortable.
