Easier than you think
Getting here
The festival happens at Pühali Hea Elu Keskus (Pühali Good Life Centre) — forest, lake and meadows about an hour from Tallinn. Estonia is one of Europe's easiest countries to reach: pick your route.
Fly to Tallinn (TLL)
Direct flights from most European hubs — Helsinki, Riga, Vilnius, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and more. Tallinn Airport is small and fast: you're kerbside 20 minutes after landing, and the city centre is 15 minutes away.
Tip: No direct flight? Fly to Helsinki (HEL) or Riga (RIX) and continue by ferry or bus — often cheaper.
Ferry from Helsinki — 2h
Tallink and Viking Line sail Helsinki ⇄ Tallinn up to 15× daily. It's a big, comfortable ship — café, deck views, ~€20–40 each way. Perfect if you're combining the festival with a Nordic trip, and you can bring a car.
Tip: Book a morning crossing, be at the festival by mid-afternoon.
Drive from Riga — 3.5h
An easy drive up the Via Baltica from Latvia (or ~2h from Pärnu). Coming from Lithuania or Poland, Estonia is a straightforward road trip — and a car makes the venue transfer trivial. Free parking on site.
Tip: Lux Express buses run Riga → Tallinn from ~€15 if you'd rather not drive.
Tallinn → the venue
Festival shuttle
A shared shuttle runs from Tallinn to Pühali Retreat Centre on opening day and back after the closing ceremony. Book it with your ticket. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm shuttle times & price]
Rental car
All major agencies operate at Tallinn Airport from ~€35/day. The drive to the venue takes about an hour on good roads; free parking at the festival.
Rideshare with other participants
Closer to the festival we open a rideshare board in the participant group — most internationals find a lift within a day. [PLACEHOLDER — link to group]
Bolt / taxi
Bolt (Estonia's Uber) works everywhere. A one-way ride from Tallinn to the venue costs roughly €50–70 — reasonable split between 3–4 people.

Sleeping & packing
Camping is the default — every pass includes a tent spot in the festival meadow, with showers, compost toilets and the lake for morning swims. Cabins and guesthouse rooms exist but sell out early; book them when you buy your ticket.
Pack:
- Tent, sleeping bag and mat (Estonian July nights: 10–15 °C)
- Swimwear and a towel — lake + sauna rituals every day
- Layers and a rain shell; comfortable clothes you can move in
- Water bottle, headlamp, sandals
- Cash is unnecessary — cards work everywhere in Estonia
Arriving by plane without camping gear? Basic tents and mats are cheap at Tallinn sports shops (Decathlon is 20 min from the airport) — or book a cabin instead.
