Public Transport

A comprehensive network of trams, buses and trolleybuses is operated by the local authorities. You can buy tickets at many newspaper kiosks or pay when boarding, though it's cheaper to buy tickets beforehand. Make sure you punch your ticket once onboard to avoid a fine.

Taxis

Taxis can be hailed on the street or at ranks at the railway and bus stations as well as in the Old Town. Pre-booked taxis can be ordered from a number of local companies such as Linna (tel: 644 2442) and Tulika (tel: 612 0001; website: www.tulikatakso.ee). Ensure the meter is either switched on or agree a price in advance for all journeys.

Car Hire

There is little need to hire a car in Tallinn as the city is so compact, though international car hire companies do have offices at the airport and also in the city centre. Companies at the airport include Avis (tel: 605 8222; website: www.avis.ee), Budget (tel: 605 8600; website: www.budget.ee) and Sixt (tel: 605 8148; website: www.sixt.ee). In the city centre there are offices of Avis (tel: 667 1515; website: www.avis.ee) and Sixt (tel: 613 3660; website: www.sixt.ee). Driving in the city centre can be intimidating with heavy traffic and local drivers driving erratically. Note headlights must be used at all times.

Bicycle Hire

City Bike organises bike hire and tours (tel: 511 1819; website: www.citybike.ee).
