Getting to Tartu
– By plane
The only direct flight to Tartu is a Finnair flight from Helsinki.
Otherwise, you can fly to Tallinn (186 km from Tartu) or Riga (246 km from Tartu), both of which are well connected to Tartu.
– By bus
Several bus companies operate regular routes between Tallinn and Tartu. You can also take a direct bus to Tartu from Tallinn airport (ca 10 EUR, see T-PILET for details and tickets. There is a ticket vending machine on the ground floor of the airport building). There are several bus connections a day that go directly to/from Riga airport (Lux express, Eco lines).
Airport Shuttle bus leaves from Tartu Airport to the city in about 15 minutes after the plane has arrived, but also waits for anyone who needs a ride to the city. The shuttle will drop you off at any place in Tartu city and the ticket (4 EUR) can be bought either in cash or with a debit/credit card from the driver. If booked earlier, the shuttle also picks you up from anywhere in Tartu and takes you to the airport (4 EUR). The taxi stop is also located in front of the terminal. The taxi might cost around 10 EUR to the city centre.
