Tallinn Airport (TLL) to the city
Tram 4 reaches the old town in about fifteen minutes for EUR 1.50, and the city takes no cash for it at all.
- The airport is about 4 km from the old town - one of the shortest airport transfers of any European capital.
- Tram 4 runs from the terminal itself, not from a shuttle stop, taking about fifteen minutes into the centre.
- A visitor pays EUR 1.50 a ride. Tallinn's free public transport applies to people registered as residents of Tallinn, and not to you.
- You cannot pay cash. Tap a contactless bank card on the validator, or buy in the app. There is no driver taking coins.
- Bus 2 goes to the port, which is what you want for the Helsinki ferry.
The shortest transfer on this site
Tallinn Airport is about 4 km from the old town, and tram 4 leaves from the terminal. A late arrival here costs a couple of euros rather than a taxi fare, which is not true of most airports.
- Tram 4 into the centre, roughly fifteen minutes.
- Bus 2 covers the same ground and continues to the passenger port - the stop for the Helsinki ferry.
The free transport that is not free for you
- Tallinn was the first capital in the world to make public transport free, and it has been reported that way ever since.
- It applies to people whose registered residence is Tallinn. They tap a personal Uhiskaart and pay nothing.
- Visitors pay the ordinary fare, EUR 1.50.
And you cannot pay cash
- Tallinn's trams and buses take contactless bank cards tapped on the validator, or tickets bought in the app.
- There is no driver selling tickets for coins.
- Tap the validator even with a contactless card. The tap is the fare payment; not tapping is travelling without a ticket, and inspectors do check.
Taxis and ride-hailing
- Bolt was founded in Tallinn and is what everyone uses. Uber operates as well.
- The app price is the price, and over four kilometres it is not a large one.
