Questions about this trip
Is 7 days enough for Helsinki, Tallinn, and Riga?
Seven days covers the main sights with time for travel between cities. Book the Helsinki-Tallinn ferry and Tallinn-Riga bus at least a week ahead.
Do I need to book the ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn in advance?
Book the ferry several days ahead for lower fares on the two-hour crossing. Choose an afternoon sailing to reach Tallinn by evening.
How long is the bus from Tallinn to Riga?
The direct bus takes four and a half hours. Purchase tickets online from Lux Express or Ecolines for the 8 a.m. departure.
Do I need tickets for Rundale Palace in advance?
Booking online in summer saves queuing. Allow a full day: the drive takes about 1 hour 15 minutes each way, and the palace and gardens take two to three hours.
