Tallinn tram — lines, stops and timetable
Six tram lines, 45 stops and everything you need for the journey: map, timetable, ticket prices, the Ühiskaart and a route planner.
The lines get a T prefix and the tram runs to the airport again
On 1 August 2026 every tram line gains a T in front of its number, and the tram link to Tallinn Airport reopens after being closed since the summer of 2023 — first for the Vanasadam tramway, then for the Ülemiste terminal. The airport is now served by T2 (Kopli – Vanasadam – Lennujaam) and T4 (Tondi – Lennujaam). To keep the Suur-Paala connection, a new line T6 (Kopli – Hobujaama – Suur-Paala) starts at the end of August, once the Peterburi tee works are finished; until then replacement buses run there. The airport branch passed its test run on 9 July 2026.
The Tallinn tram network in brief
Trams have run in Tallinn since 1888, when a horse-drawn line opened between the city centre and Kadriorg; the trams switched to electricity in 1925. Today’s network consists of six lines and 45 stops and is run by Tallinna Linnatranspordi AS (TLT).
Tallinn’s tram tracks are unusually narrow — the gauge is 1067 mm, not the 1435 mm common across Europe. The same gauge is used in only a handful of other cities worldwide. The overhead line voltage is 600 V DC and the fleet numbers 59 trams (CAF Urbos AXL, Pesa Twist 147N and Tatra KT4/KT6).
The tram covers the city’s main axis: from Kopli through the centre to Lasnamäe and the airport, and from Tondi to Kadriorg. Each year the tram carries around 19 million journeys a year.
Six tram lines
Since 1 August 2026 every line carries a number prefixed with T. Tap a line to see all its stops, journey times and service frequencies.
Tram map
The whole network in one picture: six lines, every stop and every junction. The map can be downloaded as a PDF that works on your phone even without an internet connection.
Note that most maps found online still show the old numbering (1–5) and the airport branch as closed — our map page lists exactly what has changed.
Popular routes
Times are calculated with the same algorithm the route planner uses — based on the average journey times in the TLT timetable.

Tickets and prices
Tallinn has a single ticket system: the same ticket is valid on the tram, bus and trolleybus. Travel is free for Tallinn residents — all you need is a personalised Ühiskaart.
When the trams run
First trams 05:00
The first departures from the terminal stops are between 05.00 and 06.00 on weekdays; about half an hour later at weekends.
Last trams 00:10
Most lines finish around 00.10. The exception is T5, whose last departure is already at 22.20.
At peak 9–10 min
On the Kopli branch, where four lines run, a tram actually comes every 2–3 minutes.
There is no night tram service
After the last tram, night buses run on Friday and Saturday nights; taxis and ride-hailing apps are available around the clock.
