Trains

Train travel in Estonia has not gained the popularity it has elsewhere in Europe. The only real international connections are to points east ( Moscow and beyond), and forget about taking the train to Riga or Vilnius. It is, however, possible to get to Tartu and other Estonian cities by rail. Three separate companies cover Estonia’s train system: GoRail (www.gorail.ee) handles international, Edelaraudtee’s trains (www.edel.ee) are inter-city, and Elektriraudtee (www.elektriraudtee.ee) does the local electric trains.

Tallinn | Getting around | Trains

Located just outside Old Town, Tallinn's newly-revamped train station boasts a trendy café, fountain and a day spa, but still has almost no information posted in English. Luckily, the system is not too confusing and there are information booths (open 07:10 - 11:30; 12:30 - 18:15, Sat - Sun 08:00 - 11:30; 12:30 - 18:15; Gorail info open 08:00 - 13:00; 14:30 - 19:00), usually staffed by someone multi-lingual. Tickets for all trains, including the Russia trains, are sold from windows in the main hall (take a number and wait). For domestic routes, you don't even have to bother with this process since the same tickets can always be purchased right on board the trains. A touch-screen vending machine in the centre of the hall also sells tickets for domestic routes (excluding the electric lines).
