Zna li neko koji payment processor koristi ova aplikacija?

>Da sam ja taksista, lepo bi našao nekoga da napravi jebenu Android aplikaciju za taksi službu
Upravo to i radi ova aplikacija, tj. saradjuje sa vec postojecim taksistama.
I would say the best way is to firstly get the Train from Vilnius train station to Trakai station (You can use this website to get the tickets.
To get from the station to the castle you can have a lovely 35-40 minute walk and see the surrounding areas and beautiful lakes. It's easy to walk there; there are signs to the castle everywhere.
If you don't fancy walking you can use the bolt app (it's on the Apple app store too if you you an iPhone) to either get a taxi or get an electric scooter for a few euros.
Just use bolt app ( it's similar to Uber ), you will be paying more than regular taxi, but it's safer, and won't get you scammed.
Did you do your homework? I wouldn't hold it against members of r/eesti if they downvoted your post if you don't give any indication of making use of the search function first.
That said, you're going to see the Old Town anyway. If you're into tourist traps, go see the Teletorn (TV tower, highest building in Estonia, great view on a clear day). I'd also suggest checking out the Telliskivi Creative City, lots of small shops, places to eat, events. A day trip is always a good idea, not sure if you have enough time to make it to Tartu, but it's springtime, so go have a picnic in Keila-Joa or Lahemaa if you're willing to rent a car.
As to places to eat, my favorites in Tallinn are currently Lendav Taldrik at Telliskivi and Sesoon in Kalamaja. After that, drink some local beer. Põhjala brews some seriously delicious, I mean, world class beers. Head to Pudel (also at Telliskivi) or Speakeasy (Põhjala's own place). If you manage to find Pühaste's wonderful nectars somewhere, do try these as well.
A helpful tip: if you're looking for a taxi, use this app. The taxi situation has always been a bit iffy in Tallinn, perhaps someone else can enlighten you how probable it is for foreigners to get ripped off. You won't have such problems for sure if you use the more expensive companies like Tulika or Tallink.
> I don't think any of us speak any Estonian, are we likely to struggle with that?
Most likely not.
Lol, cum arată aplicația. Nici măcar un pic nu seamănă cu cea de la Uber.
edit: holy fuck! O fi pe bune sau e doar pentru impresie?
edit 2: ok, din ce am aflat Taxify lucrează cu șoferii de taxi licențiați, spre deosebire de Uber:
> Doar taxiuri licentiate cu un contract de dispecerat activ, exclus masini private !

I have no idea which part of U.S. you are comming from and for how long you are coming. But generally and that applies for most of the europe - we barely have any decent american snacks. So bring all of them. And not only snacks but sauces spices and other stuff too.
Lots of good quality body care products are not available in europe too. So you either have to use something different or order from U.S. which takes a really long time to arrive (depends but can take up to 5-6 weeks. usually 3-4 weeks). Also you might get dinged with taxes on imports then shipping.
I wouldn't bother with lots of adapters (just bring one). As you can easily get them for a few euros here at BestBuy equivalent shops. Definitely buy a winter coat in U.S. Especially during the summer while they are on a huge discounts.
If you stay closer to the city Center you will never believe that this is in any way some 3rd world country. Trust me. We came pretty far from the Soviet occupation years ago.
Be prepared to not being able to communicate in English with older generation. But with a people you will mainly be surrounded (early-late twenties) there shouldn't be any issue as most of them speak a fairly decent english.
Once it comes to food - we don't have such a huge variety of foods and choices. But generally food is very good IMO, lots of positive comments I heard from my foreign friends.
Also be careful with a greetings which ends with "How are you?" cause unlike in U.S. you might get a real answer and not just a short "great".
Healthcare. I think you will more than surprised. Sometimes the facilities aren't the top notch but the doctors definitely are.
Cars. Stick-shifts mostly! Auto-transmissions are not so popular around here.
Water. Yep, tap is perfectly safe to drink. It tastes differently from the U.S. though. Also in Europe seltzer water (carbonated or whatever) is extremely popular. Oh and no free water in the restaurants. You need to pay for that.
Prices you see displayed are final. There are no taxes on top. Tipping is weird and I am extremely awkward then it comes to it so maybe someone else would be better to answer it but generally I tip usually 10% in Lithuania and 15-20% in states.
Cabs. Just use Uber (not too bad for a 3rd world country, eh?). Or use app to get cabs (Taxify is very good). Don't hail cabs from the street as they charge a higher fee.
Bolt is lower price than grab

That's exactly what Taxify did in Estonia.

I have only used it once so far and it was decent.
