Yes, the age-old question \u2013 how to get from Tallinn to Riga? If it was the Middle Ages we would probably tell you to wait for the right wind and to set sail. But times have moved forward and there is no ship that would take you south unless you rent one. So what is left?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In no particular order, here are some options for getting from the Estonian capital<\/a> to the Latvian one<\/a>. We have brought out the estimated time of travel and cost, how much hassle you will have making travel arrangements on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = super easy and 5 =\u00a0 you should get paid to do it), how much fun you will have on the trip on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = bored to tears and 5 = most fun that can be had).<\/p>\n

Taking a bus from Tallinn to Riga is a fairly long trip. There is no way around this fact. We all have ways of making this tolerable \u2013 reading a book or watching something or, the tried and tested favourite, sleeping. Thus, already engaged, you will probably miss most of the countryside that the bus passes through and not look out the window much. By the time you get off the bus you are exhausted from doing nothing at all, still this is probably the way most people make the trip from Tallinn to Riga.<\/p>\n
