Bus trips Tallinn — St. Petersburg — Tallinn via Pskov

Bus from Tallinn to St. Petersburg via Pskov

As of 10 April 2025, Baltic Shuttle will start operating bus services from Tallinn to Pskov (bus route 950) with a connecting bus Pskov — St Petersburg (bus route 9116 by SKSauto).

Departure from Tallinn daily at 16:50 via Tartu and the Koidula border crossing point, arriving in Pskov at 01:55.

Passengers traveling to Saint Petersburg transfer to a Russian carrier's bus (route 9116) from Pskov to Saint Petersburg (the trip is included in the price), departing approximately at 02:10 from Pskov to Saint Petersburg. The estimated arrival time of the bus in Saint Petersburg is 06:50. The bus makes a stop at the Moskovskaya metro station and then arrives at the Saint Petersburg bus station.

The actual arrival time of buses to Pskov and St. Petersburg depends on the time when all bus passengers pass the Estonian-Russian border. The bus is waiting for all passengers to pass through border and customs controls.

The bus route from Tallinn to Pskov passes through the Koidula → Kunichina Gora border crossing, which is open to traffic. The bus arrives at the Koidula border crossing around 9:00 PM. Passengers undergo border and customs control inside the checkpoint buildings. The lack of a border crossing on foot and the lack of outdoor queues (as at the Narva → Ivangorod border crossing) makes this route a good alternative to the Tallinn — Narva — Saint Petersburg bus route, which has unpredictable wait times at the checkpoint.
