There are no connecting trains running from Western Europe through to the Baltic states. However, it’s possible to do the journey from Western Europe to Tallinn by train via an indirect route. Trains going via Copenhagen and Sweden, or via Germany and Finland can connect to ferries which transfer to Tallinn. Both journeys take around three nights.

Rail note
