How to get to Tallinn City Centre?

Please note that there will be NO transportation arranged by the organisers.

From the Tallinn Airport

To get to the Tallinn University from the Airport, we kindly suggest you to take a taxi. There are taxies available in front of the Airport building. Since Tallinn Airport is fairly small, you will easily see the taxies waiting in front of the arrivals gate. The cost of a taxi drive to the Tallinn University should be approximately 13-15 EUR. About the same rate applies when driving to the pre-booked hotel (Park Inn Central).

The easiest, most sustainable, and cheapest way to get to the city centre is by public transportation. You can take a tram number 4 that takes you to Hobujaama station. From there, 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 "Moigu-Passenger Port" (Moigu-Reisisadam in Estonian). In the city centre, the bus stops next to Viru Keskus at A. Laikmaa Street. Tickets are sold by the driver upon entering. Both paper tickets and rechargeable smart cards are available also from the R-Kiosk in the Passenger Terminal. The ticket costs 2 EUR when bought from the driver and will grant you the right for one ride; however, the prices are cheaper with smart cards. Please see the webpage for more details/prices as well as info on the smartcards. You can also buy ticket by mobile phone, more details on that HERE. 

Timetable is available HERE.

There is Airport Shuttle service available at Tallinn Airport. Price for 1-7 people to the city centre is 18 EUR. Price for further destinations are subject to agreement. As a means of payment, both cash and credit cards are accepted. In order to save time, it is recommended to pre-order your transfer by sending an e-mail to info@airporttransfer.ee

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.
