Tallinn → Tartu: key facts

Tartu from Tallinn Airport (TLL) by private transfer: €240 per car (1–3 people) or €320 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 176 km via 2 and 40, roughly 2h 25min when traffic is light and 2h 25min – 3h when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the Arrivals area of the single passenger terminal at Tallinn Airport, after baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Tartu, Estonia's second city and its oldest university town, lies about 180 km south-east of Tallinn. From the airport the road joins the Tallinn-Tartu highway (route 2, part of E263) almost immediately and follows it through central Estonia past Kose and the Mao junction. Several sections have been rebuilt as dual carriageway, while others still have one lane in each direction with frequent speed cameras. There are no tolls. Friday afternoons and the start of summer holidays bring heavier traffic leaving Tallinn.

Central Tartu is compact and spreads along the Emajogi river. Town Hall Square, with the pink-and-white town hall and the Kissing Students fountain, slopes down towards the river and is pedestrian, as is Ruutli street. Toome Hill behind it holds the cathedral ruins and park, and the main building of the University of Tartu stands a few minutes' walk away on Ulikooli street. The Estonian National Museum is on the north-eastern edge of town at Raadi. Cars reach hotels on the streets around the old town and along the riverside.

Public transport instead: Lux Express coach Tallinn - Tartu and Tallinn - Tartu - Voru from Airport bus stop (long-distance buses) to Tartu.
