By bus
For anyone without a car, the bus is by far the most convenient way to get from Tallinn to Tartu. Each day more than 30 express buses make the 2.5-hour trip from the capital, departing from Tallinn's bus station (bussijaam) at Lastekodu 46. The ride costs about €9 - 10
. See www.bussireisid.ee for a complete schedule. Buses arrive at Tartu's bus station at Turu 2, C-2. Left luggage (Pakihoid), open 24hrs, is located just next door at the Hotel Dorpat and costs start from €0.64 day, depending on the size of the bag. The ATM is in the main waiting hall, near the door to the platforms, and the WC is next to platform 4. Getting to town Taxis are usually standing out front, but you're only a 5-minute walk from the heart of Tartu. Follow the buses leaving the station until you hit the first large street, then turn right. After 1.5 blocks you'll be at the corner of Turu and Riia. Cross to the left, so you are going uphill on Riia. At the first big crossing, follow the crowds turning right to cross over Riia, then keep going straight. You'll be at Town Hall Square in no time.
