Tallinn University is located at the heart of Tallinn, next to the historically rich Kadriorg district, wonderful Tallinn Old Town, and the Tallinn bay. As such, the university is surrounded by picturesque locations that will be a wonder to explore. We recommend a long walk in the Kadriorg park or by the Reidi tee promenade by the Baltic sea.
Tallinn University itself is located on Narva road and the university campus consists of 6 buildings that are all interconnected to each other. The university buildings are an academic mixture of modern and historic, offering a unique atmosphere to all those who visit the campus. Furthermore, the campus is also accessible to wheelchair users. The university campus is accessible via car, bicycle, electric scooter, public transport, or even by foot. Fun fact: Tallinn University is the only Estonian university that is accessible via tram which is the greenest option in public transportation. For more information on where to park your car or your bike, please visit the university website.

flight There is good air connection between Estonia and other European countries. The only international airport in Estonia is called the Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (TLL) and it is situated in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. In 2018, it was named one of the best small airports in Europe. The airport is modern and convenient, offering a warm welcome to all visitors. For further information on the airport, please visit their website.
sailing As Estonia is located by the Baltic sea, it is also possible to reach Tallinn by ferry from Helsinki and Stockholm. The Old City Harbour is situated right in the city centre, not too far from Tallinn University. In the Springtime, it is especially enjoyable to take a stroll around the shore. For further information, please see their website, under the category of Old City Harbour.
directions_bus Another option to reach Tallinn is to take a bus from the Riga airport in the capital city of Latvia, which is located around 350 km to the South of Tallinn. The bus travel from Riga to Tallinn takes around 5.5 hours via bus. The Lux Express bus is equipped with free Wi-Fi and power outlets by every seat to help you stay connected on the road and individual multimedia screens to make the trip more enjoyable. If you wish to travel by bus, please visit the Lux Express website to buy tickets.
If you're opting for air travel, then you'll be satisfied to learn how quick and comfortable it is to get to the city centre from the airport. The easiest, most sustainable, and cheapest way to get to the city centre is via public transportation.
tramThe airport is well-connected and trams depart from the airport around every 10 minutes. You can take tram number 4 to Hobujaama station. From there, you can either walk to the University (ca 7 minutes) or change to trams number 1 or 3, with a direction to Kadriorg. Trams number 1 and 3 will stop directly by Tallinn University. The public transportation timetable is available here.
directions_busThe airport's bus stop is located in front of the terminal of arrivals. Bus No. 2 travels on the route Mõigu-Passenger Port. In the city centre, the bus stops next to Viru Keskus at A.

local_taxiLastly, you can also take a taxi. For your convenience, there are taxis available in front of the Airport building. Since Tallinn Airport is fairly small, you will easily see the taxis waiting in front of the arrivals gate. The cost of a taxi ride to Tallinn University should be approximately 15 EUR. If you're used to taxi apps, you may also check Bolt or Uber, both of which operate in Estonia and are popular amongst visitors and locals alike.

As Estonia is a fast-developing country both in terms of digitalisation and sustainability, electric scoorters have become a popular way of getting from point A to point B among young people. Electric scooters are a great alternative to car rides as they use significantly less energy than their four-wheeled counterparts. Moreover, taking advantage of the public-use scooters gives you a wonderful opportunity to truly enjoy the city and its atmosphere.
In Estonia, there are two popular companies that offer electric scooters that are available for public use. Firstly, taxi app Bolt is also known for their high-end electric scooters that are fast and comfortable. Their scooters can be found anywhere all over Tallinn. Their service is easy to use via Bolt app that allows users to lock and unlock different scooters. On average, the fee is 0.20€/per minute.
Secondly, another popular app is called Tuul. Tuul is an e-scooter sharing app that's mostly known for being one of the greenest and most sustainable scooters in the world. Tuul is also an Estonian company. Likewise to Bolt, their scooters are available to ride via downloading the Tuul app. On average, the fee is 0.20€/per minute.
On the whole, domestic travel between major Estonian cities is quick and easy via a highway or railway system as most major cities are connected by buses or trains.
