Arriving in Tartu 

If you fly in, you can arrive in either Tartu or Tallinn. Tartu Airport (TAY) is small and has only a few daily connections (Helsinki). Tallinn Airport (TLL), known also as Tallinn Lennart Meri Airport, is the country’s main airport. 

Tartu Airport 

Airport Shuttle 

Express bus No. E1 operates between Tartu Airport and Tartu city. Detailed timetables and stops are provided here. A single ticket costs 5 euros.  

By Taxi 

Using a taxi to get to the airport is easy and convenient: taxis can drop you off and pick you up right in front of the airport terminal. 

The Forus taxis are waiting for passengers outside the airport might be the most convenient way to travel.  

However, it is possible to use local taxi apps, like Bolt, to order a taxi. 

Tallinn Airport 

From Tallinn airport, you can take a bus straight from the airport to Tartu, or take a train from a nearby station. 

Tartu by train or bus

If you choose the train, the closest railway station will be Ülemiste, which is about a 17-minute walk away or 14 minutes by public transport. Travel time from Tallinn to Tartu is around 2 to 3 hours, depending on which train you choose. Tickets can be booked in advance via elron.ee. 

If you choose the bus, the Lux Express bus will stop at the airport. Tickets for the buses can be booked in advance via https://luxexpress.ee/. They tend to sell out relatively fast, so we advise booking the bus ticket at least a week prior to your trip.
