==== Option 1: E67 (Laagri) ====1. Take the bus [http://web.trafi.com/#!schedules/tallinn/18-Bus-Viru-keskus-Laagri/tal_bus_18 18] from bus-stop ''Viru'' (close to the Viru Gate entrance to the Old Town, where the McDonalds is) to the final stop ''Laagri'', (about a 30 minute ride). There's a Walk on about ≈150m along Pärnu maantee, the large road to the south , and traffic hitch. Traffic is going fairly slowand there's a wide hard shoulder. <br/ >One stop earlier , you will also find a petrol station. Also buses 10 and 14 stop nearby, at their end stations.
==== Option 2: On the ferry ====
If you are arriving to Tallinn by a ferry and not planning to spend any time in the beautiful city, it is advisable to go to the car deck on the ship about 30 minutes before arrival and ask drivers directly for a ride. Looking at licence plates helps. If you don't get a ride before the doors open and the cars start leaving, climb the stairs back up and leave the ship as any other foot passenger.
==== Option 3: At the ferry terminal ====It is also possible to hitch from the ferry terminals. When arriving at the port from Helsinki on Viking Line or Eckerö Line, just walk to the Logi street, some 200 m away from the passenger terminal towards the city and stick out your thumb. Many trucks can take you all the way to the Polish border. There is probably a similar place for trucks coming with Tallink's ship, as well. Use a sign so that the drivers know where you are going.
You can see the timetable for ships arriving to Tallinn [http://www.viroweb.ee/eesti/aikataulut.asp?yhtio=%25&paiva=%25&SUUNTA=HEL&submit=Otsi! here].
