By air: Domestic flights are available which connect Tallinn to a few other major cities. These are generally cheap. Avies Airlines flies to Kardla and Kuressaare. By rail: Trains are relatively slow and cheap in Estonia. From Tallinn it is possible to reach most major cities by train: Narva, Tartu, Pärnu, Viljandi, Rapla, Valga plus some smaller towns. By trams: Trains are relatively slow and cheap in Estonia. By bus: This is one of the most popular modes of transport in Estonia. The bus routes cover the country extensively. Buses can get crowded during the weekends to the more popular destinations like Parnu and Tartu. Bus operations usually start at 6am. By taxi: It is recommended to book a taxi via telephone to minimize the risk of being overcharged. By road: Cars & Motorcycles: There are many roads but very few highways in Estonia. Driving is on the right. Hiring a car is the best option if you want to visit the more remote parts of the country. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is necessary, as are your vehicle’s registration papers and compulsory accident insurance, which can be bought at border crossings. Bicycles: Estonia is small and mostly flat, with relatively good roads and light traffic, perfect for this green mode of travel. However, Estonia is way behind other European countries in terms of bicycle use as a mode of transport and motorists can be frightfully inconsiderate of cyclists who dare get in their way. Estonia has some 4000km of well-signed bike trails crisscrossing its territory and is working hard to develop ecotourism. |
