How to get to the Russian Federation from the Baltic States in 2025 and why it is better to do it with ArtSanTaxi transfers
The direction to the border with the Russian Federation is one of the most popular. People often go home, to relatives, on vacation from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and other European countries. Many use public transport, but this is inconvenient, since you can’t get to every checkpoint. You also often have to sail on a ferry or fly on a plane, but there are pitfalls here too. Ferries do not run as often as we would like, and plane tickets are becoming more and more expensive. Therefore, today one of the most popular types of transport for traveling across the border is a transfer. ArtSanTaxi offers many different routes for crossing the border in a comfortable car, quickly and without problems.
Travel from Tallinn with ArtSanTaxi
We offer several route options, among which each passenger can choose the best one.
Travel to the Russian border from Tallinn with ArtSanTaxi
To get to the Russian Federation, many people first fly to Tallinn. From there, ArtSanTaxi drivers are always ready to pick up passengers and take them to one of two checkpoints. This could be Narva - Ivangorod or Koidula - Kunichina Gora. The driver always looks at which border has the shortest queue. The fact is that although Narva is closer to Tallinn, there are often long queues at this checkpoint. Therefore, in many cases it makes sense to take a longer route, through Koidula, and cross the border in 30-60 minutes, without unnecessary worries.
Travel to the Russian Federation from Riga with ArtSanTaxi
In addition to Tallinn, ArtSanTaxi also takes you to the Russian border from Riga. The fact is that many travelers fly from Europe and choose the cheapest tickets to one of the cities in the Baltic countries. And most often it is Tallinn, Riga or Helsinki. Understanding that people try to choose what is most profitable and economical for them, we work in all three cities and our drivers are ready to hit the road at any time of the day. ArtSanTaxi works 24/7, so our clients never have to wait or worry that they will be late.
Drivers always meet passengers at Riga airport and take them to the Luhamaa-Shumilkino checkpoint. To avoid our passengers standing in lines with buses and cars, two transfers are used in all directions in the Russian Federation. The first one takes you to the border from the Baltic countries, and the second one picks you up from the checkpoint in the Russian Federation. In this way, we guarantee a quick crossing of the border on foot. This is especially important on weekends and holidays, when people stand in lines for transport for several hours or even days. If our clients want to continue their journey across the Russian Federation by plane or train, the transfer driver can take them to the airport or train station. Travel from Helsinki to the Russian Federation with ArtSanTaxi
We also have a transfer option via Helsinki. Previously, people could cross the border directly in Helsinki, but today this border has been closed for two years. For such travelers, there is the following option - to sail by ferry to Tallinn, from where our driver will pick them up and take them to the border. There are three companies that operate ferries, so there are enough flights. The ferry sails only 2 hours from Helsinki to Tallinn. At the same time, there are shopping centers, restaurants on the ferry, so by choosing this method of travel, passengers can relax and have a good time.
ArtSanTaxi drivers meet passengers in terminals A and D and decide on the spot which border is better to go through. On this route, a transfer from the border to the Russian Federation can take you to Pskov, St. Petersburg or deliver you to the nearest airport, train station.
In addition to the ferry from Helsinki, you can fly to Tallinn. It will take only 15 minutes. There are 3-4 flights a day, so you can choose the right option and create the best route. ArtSanTaxi drivers are always ready to meet passengers where it is convenient for them and take them to any specified point.
