Route Tips
- Ryanair flights depart from BER Terminal 5 (formerly Schoenefeld)—ensure you know which Berlin airport your flight uses, as BER has Terminal 1 (Lufthansa/AirBaltic) and Terminal 5 (Ryanair/Wizz).
- Estonia is in the Schengen Area—German citizens need only ID, other EU citizens need passport/ID, non-EU citizens need Schengen visa if applicable.
- Tallinn Airport has excellent duty-free (particularly liquor and Nordic design), but prices inside are similar to市区. Skip food inside—city center cafés offer better value.
- Download the Bolt app before arrival—Uber works but Bolt is local and often 20% cheaper for taxis.
- If extending to Helsinki, Tallinn-Helsinki ferries (2h) cost €20-50 and operate multiple daily—Estonia’s archipelago makes a great multi-country Baltic trip.
