Arriving

Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (TLL) — arrival anchor checked 2026-09-20.

  • Airport trams T2 and T4 link to central Tallinn, then a walk or local connection to the hotel. The current fare is €2 per one-hour ticket, and four airport legs are already included in the selected 28-ticket allowance. Exact schedules, the hotel walk, payment and accessibility remain to be matched.
  • Identifying the airport does not establish direct-flight availability, flight duration, airfare, visa eligibility or operations on your travel dates.
  • The coordinates are suitable as a research airport-location anchor; community data are not a certified navigation source.

What the cost example is based on

A dated sample: 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-11 (6 nights, 7 calendar days) for two adults sharing one room, priced in EUR, converted at rates dated 2026-09-18. Tallinn Old Town, Kalamaja and Telliskivi, Kadriorg park and Seaplane Harbour.

Cost detail: the dated sample and its ground-cost tiers

Worth knowing (14)
  • Planning estimates use 5–11 October 2026: two adults, one room, six nights and seven calendar days.
  • The selected hotel and meal scenarios are not citywide market ranges.
  • All three rates are prepaid and nonrefundable.
  • Citybox excludes breakfast and does not itemise tax; Nordic includes breakfast and 13% VAT, with zero arrival fees displayed.
  • A verification challenge appeared with the Nordic suite summary; its readable price is retained, but the payable inventory is unvalidated.
  • All 42 adult meals are represented, with specified drinks; extra consumption, alcohol, tips and dietary substitutions are excluded.
  • Loulou closes at 15:00 on weekdays and 16:00 at weekends; use lunch before 14:00 and match the arrival breakfast to service.
  • The 28 city tickets include four airport legs, so do not add airport fares again.
  • Match actual schedules, payment and walking needs.
  • Seaplane Harbour admission is included; October opening is Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00–18:00, and it closes Mondays.
  • Cobblestones, hills and cold-weather walking may need adaptation.
  • Ground sightseeing days, the travel allowance and the seven-day cost example are distinct.
  • Climate averages are from 1971–2000.
  • Sources checked 20 September 2026; the ECB conversion is dated 18 September 2026.
What these estimates cover
  • These figures are a planning estimate, not a quote. They come from one dated sample: seven calendar days, six nights, two adults sharing one room, on the ground only. The exact stay dates for this city are shown above.
  • International airfare is not included, and neither is anything booked outside the sample.
  • A sampled example is not a citywide market price. Your own dates, room, party size and inclusions have to be priced again.
  • Tax is included only where the source stated it. Where it did not, the tax position is unconfirmed and the figure is not a final payable amount.
  • Other party sizes and trip lengths are modelled from this same sample. That is modelling, not a quote for a different party or different dates.
  • The airport shown is an arrival anchor only. No flight availability, journey time, airfare or visa outcome follows from it, and ground transfer into the city is always needed.
  • Suitability, interest and season scores are our own matching judgments, not measurements.
