SINCE 2012

TALLINN, EST: MAY 22-24, 2024

Everything you need to know to get ready for Latitude59 & enjoy the event to the fullest

Getting ready

  • Getting here from Helsinki
    Several carriers offer fast and enjoyable ferry connections between Helsinki and Tallinn. Check out the daily ferry timetable to plan your itinerary.
  • Getting here from Riga
    A convenient public bus route connects Riga, Latvia and Tallinn, with departures in both directions taking off multiple times a day. Check out the timetable here.
  • Arriving through Tallinn Airport
    Make sure to book your flights early on! There are direct flights to Tallinn from London, Berlin, Munich, Dublin, Milan, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Riga, Helsinki, Warsaw, Vienna and more. Plan your flights here.

As Tallinn is busy improving the public infrastructure of many central locations (so the city will look extra nice for Latitude59 2024!), it’s not uncommon to bump into construction sites around the city. This also means that some roads near Kultuurikatel (our main venue) are closed & some familar public transport routes might not be running as expected.

  • SCOOTERING
    Scootering can be one of the fastest ways to get around in Tallinn at the moment. We recommend our very own Estonian companies, Bolt and Tuul – just download the rideshare app of choice & it will guide you through the process. Both companies are adding more scooters around the venue & strategical places around the city for the Latitude59 week.
  • PUBLIC TRANSPORT
    If your accommodation is out of walking distance, taking the bus (nr 2, 3, 21, 21B, 41, 41B, 66, 73) might be your best alternative. Also trams 1, 3, 6 help you to get around. When in doubt, Google maps does a pretty good job with suggesting the best route to take.
    – Public transport is free during the Latitude59 week for all conference badge holders.
  • TAXI
    Tallinn has plenty of public taxi service companies. We recommend Bolt’s app to grab a taxi on the go.
  • PARKING
    We are passionate advocates of sustainable choices such as ridesharing or walking. Please keep your car at home, if you can. But when you do need to park around Tallinn Creative Hub / Kultuurikatel, there are paid parking spaces near Tallinn City Hall (Linnahall). Public roads are usually within the administrative territory of the City of Tallinn and paid parking is allowed: see the terms for public parking here.

The official address of Kultuurikatel is now Kursi 3, Tallinn (to clarify for the hardcore fans of Latitude59 – yes, the building is still the same but the old address of Põhja pst 27a is not officially in use anymore).

As an organization, we measure our footprint and make considerable improvements each year to be as sustainable as we possibly can. The main things to remember as an attendee of Latitude59: bring your own water bottle & coffee cups, use Ringo, recycle & use ridesharing options or the public transport to get around (by the way, the public transport in Tallinn is free for the week of Latitude59 with your conference pass!
