Arriving to the hotel  


By plane
If you arrive by plane, the easiest way to get to the hotel is to use public transport. Tickets can be bought from R-kiosk, which will be at the far end of the airport terminal on your right hand side when you come through the security doors. The ticket price is 1 EUR. You can also buy a ticket from the driver in the bus, but then you will be charged 1.60.

The airport’s bus stop is located just in front of the Arrivals terminal (it is really tiny place, so you will not get lost!). Take the bus Nr 2 (direction „city center/harbour“; leaves after every 20 minutes) and get off at „Reisisadam D-terminal“. You will find yourself in the parking lot of Tallinn Harbour. The hotel (City Hotel Portus) is just on the edge of the parking lot. It has a big sign on it, so you can’t miss it. You can check the timetable of the bus and plan your trip at: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee/#bus/en
You can also use the Airport Shuttle bus. Tickets for the shuttle, which costs 5 euros, can be bought in the area of arriving flights, at the desk with Airport Shuttle flag. There is no fixed timetable. Shuttles start at 12 a.m. and they will meet every arriving flight. Airport Shuttle leaves the airport 15 minutes after the first passenger has entered the shuttle or when the shuttle is full of passengers. The bus takes you everywhere you want in Tallinn, you just need to know the address.

When you exit the bus station from the main door you will see the tram stop ca 200 meters from the bus station right in front of you. Near the tram stop, you can also see a bus stop called „Autobussijaam“. Take the bus nr 2 direction „city center/harbour“ (it goes down the hill) and get off at „Reisisadam D-terminal“.
