The trade-off
This route uses coach connections or a car for the Pärnu stop. For a colder-weather trip, consider Tartu or more nights in the capitals. Changing an overnight base also changes the transport you need.
Start from Tallinn instead by reversing the starter in the planner. Search the transport for that direction and date before reserving accommodation around a connection.
