Viru stop — Kesklinn · Viru väljak

The Viru stop is the heart of the city centre: tram, bus and trolleybus lines cross here, and all the most important walks start from the stop. The Old Town’s Viru värav is a couple of dozen metres away, with the Viru keskus and Hotel Viru on the other side of the square.

The stop is served by lines T3, T4 and T5. If you are going to Kadriorg or Kopli, you will usually need to use the nearby Mere puiestee or Hobujaama stops.

Viru väljak is also the point where a direct route heads to the Rotermanni kvartal, to Vabaduse väljak and towards Kadriorg.
