Currency
The Estonian currency is the Kroon (EEK) and is broken down
into 100 senti; the Kroon is tied to the Euro. Foreign currency can
be easily exchanged at hotels, banks and exchange bureaux in the
larger towns, at the airport and main railway station. Major credit
cards are generally accepted in the larger hotels, main restaurants
and shops, but it is wise to check first. Preferred travellers
cheques in Estonia are Amex, Thomas Cook and Eurocheque. Banking
hours are weekdays 9am to 4pm. Exchange bureaux are open till 6pm
on weekdays and from 9am to 3pm on Saturdays. Some open on Sundays.
ATMs are available in most towns.
