Tallinn

Arrival gateway

Tallinn is not part of Ida-Viru, but most visitors begin here: a plane or ferry, then a train to Jõhvi and Narva. The train to Narva takes about two and a half hours and is itself part of the story — Estonia changes outside the window.

"Two and a half hours. That is how far Estonia's eastern edge is from what most people think they know about Estonia."

Tallinna saabumisvärav

Ferries from Helsinki and Stockholm, flights from Europe, trains going east. Outside Ida-Viru, but the start of most journeys.

Why it belongs to the storyThis atlas states clearly where Ida-Viru begins and ends. Tallinn is only a gateway here, not part of the region.
