Rent a bicycle or an e-scooter

The most sustainable and fun way to get around Tallinn in summer is by bicycle or an e-scooter. Various bicycle routes connect different areas of the city, from panoramic seaside promenades and quiet forest trails to bike lanes on busy streets. See the available routes on the map of Tallinn’s bike lanes.

Bikes: You can rent a bike for different periods and with various additional equipment (see a list of bike rentals). Many operators also organise bicycle tours to different Tallinn neighbourhoods. Extra tip: Tallinn Card, the city’s all-in-one sightseeing pass, includes three hours of free bike rental from City Bike. 

E-scooters: You can rent and see the available e-scooters near you through various mobile apps including: Bolt and Tuul. 

The scooter rental service is restricted to users aged 18 and older. Before finishing your ride, make sure that you have parked the e-scooter within the provider’s service zone, or you risk a fine. 

 

From the Tallinn Airport

You can take tram number 4, which takes you to Hobujaama station. From here, you can either walk to the University (ca 7 minutes) or change to trams number 1 or 3, with a direction to Kadriorg.

The airport’s bus stop is located in front of the terminal of arrivals. Bus No. 2 travels on the route Mõigu – Passenger Port. In the city centre, the bus stops next to Viru Keskus at A. Laikmaa Street. From the airport to the city, find a schedule named “Moigu–Reisisadam”, where the bus stop “Lennujaam” means the Airport.

There is Airport Shuttle service available at Tallinn Airport.

You can also take a taxi. There are taxis available in front of the Airport building. Since Tallinn Airport is fairly small, you will easily see the taxis waiting in front of the arrivals gate. The cost of a taxi drive to Tallinn University should be approximately 15 EUR.

 

From the Port of Tallinn

Your road to Tallinn University from the port of Tallinn depends on which terminal you land. If you arrive at Terminal D, you can simply walk to the university. From other terminals, you should take a taxi. You can find taxis in front of the harbour building (and if you can’t find one, please turn to the information desk). The taxi drive to Tallinn University should cost approximately 7 EUR.

 

Taxi

The cost of a taxi is approximately 0,5 EUR /per kilometre + starting fare ranging from 2-3,5 EUR. Most of the taxis will accept payments by card, but you should ask about it before sitting in. The taxi fares may vary slightly depending on the traffic and company. Please note that most of the taxis accept only cash payments. Therefore, you should change some money in advance or do it at the currency exchange points (there are exchange points at the airport and at the harbour).

Or you can call:

Tulika takso, phone +372 6120 000 (card payments accepted)

Another option is to use the Bolt app – now an international company born in Estonia. Uber and Yandex are also available in Tallinn.
