Transportation to Airport from Tallinn City Center

Tallinn - Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport

It is very easy to find public transport between Tallinn Airport and every point of the city. Trams, trolley buses and trains were built on a transit system with buses, which is the busiest public transport vehicle in the city. Bussijaam, one of the two main bus terminals in the city, has direct buses to the airport.

The 800 meters distance between the airport and the railway station also means that you can walk to the airport as soon as you reach this station. All you have to do is reach the train station by tram, trolley bus or bus. Apart from all these options, it is also possible to arrange your own transportation by renting a car in Tallinn which also offers many options about taxis.

Train

Intercity and international trains generally depart from this railway station, which is only 800 meters from Tallinn Airport. If you have reached Tallinn by train from another city and want to go directly to the airport, you can walk to the airport in about 10 minutes. There are direct buses, trams and trolleybus lines to this station from many points of the city.

Bus

There are 3 different bus lines belonging to three different bus companies which have a stop in Tallinn city center and pass through the airport. One of them is 90K; the other is the bus number 2 and the last one is bus number 65. Bus number 65 has one of the longest routes in the city. The first stop of this bus is Lasnamae, while the last one is Tallinn airport.

Main stops of bus number 65 are Mustakivi tee, Mahtra tn, Raadiku tn, Ümera tn, Ussima-Karberi Ühendus, Linnamae tee, Narva mnt, Liikuri tn, Varraku tn, Punane tn, J. Smvuli tee, Suur-Sojamae tn, Aasi tn, Lootsa tn, Surr-Sojamae tn, Tartu mnt and Lennujaama. It operates between 06.15 and 23.40. Urban buses are the most common in terms of usage. Tallinn Cards, which can only be used within a certain period of time, and e-tickets that can be purchased from the driver are often preferred by visitors to the city.

With 1, 3, 5 or 30 day options, you can buy this Tallinn Card from any city kiosk. Besides this, the unlimited Smart Cards used as a credit card are also suitable for public transportation.

Tram and Trolleybus

Tallinn trams and trolleys are mostly used in urban transport. The massive Tallinn Tramway project is expected to be completed by 2017. It is aimed by this project to connect the airport and the city by tram line. Trolleybus expanding work is still carried out because there are fewer lines compared to buses. The trolleybuses that reach the points where buses and trams cannot reach are actually the second most popular public transport in the city.

Taxi

There are three main taxi companies operating in the city and all these three are operated by the airport: Tulika Takso, Tallink Takso and Tallinna Takso. Private cabs outside of these three taxi companies are usually not affiliated with an institution. So, before you take one, you should learn from the driver how much it would cost you to reach your destination, and make sure that the driver turns on the taximeter.

The gray and white taxis, besides the yellow ones, are more affordable. It costs 12-14 euros to get to the airport from the city center (a distance of 4-5 kilometers).

Car Rental

There is a huge parking space at the airport, which is free for the first 15 minutes. There are 4 different parking spaces at the airport; three parking places, except for the 4th, are for short term stays, while the last one is for long stays.

The E263 highway, linked to Estonia's national highway 2, passes through the airport route. So you can take advantage of this highway on your trips with the car you rent out of the city. You can deliver the rental car at the airport once you arrive at the airport and then go to your flight.
