Transportation:
Tallinnk Line (www.tallink.se) offers the easiest access to Tallinn from Stockholm and Coppenhagen, arriving in the center of town with comfortable accommodations at a great price. Be sure to schedule an overnight trip when making your arrangements.
Nordic Jet Line (www.njl.fi) or Linda Line (www.lindaliini.ee) is the easiest and most comfortable way to get to Tallinn from Helsinki. They both leave from the center of town near the fish-market, and go directly to Tallinn harbor in 90 minutes. There are also slow boats that take several hours, but the cost is almost the same.
*Estonian Air and Finnair often have cheap flights within the region, call early to confirm your seat.
City of Tallinn information:
The downtown area of Tallinn is a beautiful and historic center for culture and dining, with an interesting and innovative atmosphere. Travel is easy, as ferries arrive in the center of town only 2 kilometers from the tournament area. A taxi ride from downtown to anywhere in the city or surrounding area will cost around 3-4 Euros. Public transportation is extremely easy use, and costs less than 1 Euro. Food and beverage expenses are about half the cost of Finland and other Scandinavian countries. The Old Town of Tallinn is a beautiful and preserved Hanseatic town, only 5 minutes away from the tournament area, with cobblestone streets and ancient Danish walls. The streets of old town are lined with handicraft markets and interesting pubs. There are many excellent and inexpensive restaurants, great nightclubs and party scenes, and lots to see, so come early and remember to bring a camera!
