Travel with ArtSanTaxi on the Narva-Riga route
Narva is one of the border towns in Estonia, near which there is a checkpoint. This is where the border with the Russian Federation is most often crossed. This checkpoint is very popular, since it allows you to quickly get to Riga. That is why a large number of people travel on the Narva-Riga route every day.
Riga, or rather Riga Airport, is one of the largest hubs in the Baltic States, and a large number of flights depart from there to all points of the world at affordable prices.
Why is the Narva-Riga route so popular
Often, residents of the Russian Federation use it to fly by plane from Riga. This is very convenient, especially for residents of St. Petersburg, who very easily and quickly get to the Ivangorod-Narva border. There are a large number of buses and trains on this route. Our transfers can also not only pick up from Narva, but also take passengers from St. Petersburg to Ivangorod.
To date, there are almost no queues at the border on the Russian side. Except for Fridays, Sundays and Mondays. On these days the workload is quite high. But on all other days there are few people, so passing through checkpoints takes very little time.
But to avoid force majeure at the border, it is important to remember the bans on sanctioned goods. In particular, we are talking about equipment and euros. You can only carry equipment no more than 300 euros, which is for personal use. And euros are prohibited to be carried in any quantity.
By the way, another advantage of the border is that there is a veterinarian there. Accordingly, you can safely cross the border with animals, which is a big plus for those who travel with pets.
The length of the route is 430 kilometers, which the transfer covers in 5.5 hours. Transfers always have unlimited water. Drivers make technical stops at the request of passengers. Another advantage of traveling by transfer is that it goes directly to Riga. And most buses first go to Tallinn, which is why the journey takes much longer. Therefore, it is much more convenient and faster to get to Ivangorod by bus, and then cross the border and, without waiting for all the passengers, transfer to a transfer. This travel option will be the most comfortable.
The route through Ivangorod and Narva is the shortest for residents of St. Petersburg, since if you choose the route through Shumilkino and Luhamuu, you will have to travel through the territory of the Russian Federation for about 5 hours. While the road to Ivangorod takes 2.5 hours.
But if travelers are going in the opposite direction, drivers often recommend choosing the Luhamaa - Shumilkino border, since the load on the checkpoint there is less than in Narva. In any case, our employees always explain the nuances and give customers a choice of which route they want to take.
