Riga to Tallinn

Riga and Tallinn are 309 km apart, just over four hours of driving. A private transfer lets you leave when it suits you, carry as much luggage as you like and stop in places no bus or train will take you.

Pick one stop or several: the Gauja valley at Sigulda, Turaida's medieval castle, or the seaside town of Pärnu, roughly halfway and a natural lunch stop before Tallinn's Old Town.
