Due to the celebration of the Republic of Estonia's 106th anniversary and the Estonian Defense Forces parade rehearsal at Vabaduse väljak, public transportation routes in Tallinn city centre will undergo changes on the evening of Friday, February 23, starting at 6:30 PM and on Saturday, February 24, from 8 AM to 5 PM.

Due to significant traffic changes and rerouting of public transportation, it's recommended to plan for extra travel time during these periods. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Defense Forces parade rehearsal will affect the routes of bus lines No. 2, 3, 9, 11, 16, 21, 21B, 23, 24, 35, 40, 41, 41B, 42, 46, and 67, as well as trolleybus lines No. 1 and 3 on Friday, February 23, from 6:30 PM until the end of the day. From 9 PM until the end of the day, bus lines No. 5, 18, 18A, 20, 20A, 36, and 73 will be rerouted in the city centre. Timing of services on rerouted public transport lines will be adaptable and may vary.

On Saturday, February 24, from 8 AM to 5 PM, the routes of bus lines No. 2, 3, 16, 21, 21B, 23, 24, 35, 40, 41, 41B, 42, and 67, as well as trolleybus lines No. 1 and 3 will be changed due to the celebration and parade.

Tram service on all lines (No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) will be suspended on Saturday, February 24, from 12:30 PM to 2 PM.

Public transportation will not operate on Vabaduse väljak, Kaarli puiestee, the section of Toompuiestee from Tõnismägi to Paldiski maantee, the section of Endla Street from Suur-Ameerika Street to Toompuiestee, the section of Pärnu maantee from Viru väljak in both directions to Vabaduse väljak and outbound from the city centre to Liivalaia Street, the section of Mere puiestee from Viru väljak to Ahtri Street, and the section of Narva maantee from Viru väljak to Hobujaama Street during the parade rehearsal and the anniversary celebration. Vehicle traffic is also restricted on these streets during the events.

We recommend avoiding driving in the city centre during this time, as street closures and limited parking and stopping options for motor vehicles are in effect. For those coming from farther away by car, it is advised to use the city's outskirts free Pargi ja Reisi (Park and Ride) parking lots and then public transport to reach the city centre. The Park and Ride system operates with a personalized Ühiskaart (SMARTCARD), but one does not need to be a resident of Tallinn to use it. More information about the parking locations and service conditions can be found at www.tallinn.ee/en/park-and-ride.
