ONLY Way To Travel Estonia-Russia OVERNIGHT (not Narva!) GUIDE

[@oohjesus2]

I found the schedule now. There is 1 go from Tallinn @ 11:00PM to St. Pete @ 12:05PM. Its a over night bus. Its still 45 Euros. What about that border's hours? Luhamaa and pskov. Does this border open 24 hours? Does Ecolines bus has bathroom on the bus?

[@aizhongwen]

Igor you have experiences in border crossings, and can give advice for most effective ways. God bless your good works. 🐈😊

[@oohjesus2]

Okay Igor, let me confirm that 1 last time. The Narva-Ivangorod border close at 11:00PM at night right? Can I take a late afternoon train from from Tallinn to Narva? Let's say I take the 4:00PM or 5:00PM train to Narva so by the time I arrive Narva, it will be about 9:00PM. I hope that it will be less people crossing the border around 9:00PM? So after I crossed the border to the Russian side, I will get a hotel near by to stay for that night. And then I will think about how to get to St. Pete in the morning then. Maybe some buses will have 1 empty seat for me. Do you think that is a doable option? I read that the Narva border is 35 to 40 C hot in the afternoon and you waited 4.5 hours in line? That is horrible. I'm checking the schedule of the Eco-Line bus.

[@Igorinrussia]

Yes, when and if they see too many people crossing they might not let people to the bridge in advance. When is it a quieter day differ… nobody knows - its a gamblu. The artival to narva 9 pm sounds risky, theres a chance youd have to stay in narva overnight. If yiu deside so, make sure you have a reserved hotel from ostrovok.ru / or app. My hotel it turned out to be booked for 2 weeks. You rather have options to travel to saint pere than get sttanded like i almost did. Check also the overnight bus vis Luhamaa and pskov. Its only 10e more expensive but stlest you should be in saint pete by 12 pm next day

[@oohjesus2]

@@Igorinrussia There is a drop down menu where to start and where to arrive but these 2 border names are not displaying

[@oohjesus2]

arrive at Border Luhamaa @ 1:25AM and leave that border @ 2:00AM and then arrive at Border Shumilkino (RU) @ 2:00AM and leave that border @ 2:30AM. So I assume this border is opened 24 hours?

[@Igorinrussia]

Yep

Igor, i'm an international student in Russia, i plan to travel to EU via Estonian land border. If i buy a bus ticket from St Petersburg to Tallinn, will it face severe delays? Can it still arrive in the evening if i leave from St. Petersburg in the morning? Аre the border guards in Ivangorod and Narva "scary" in sense they will check your phone, social media posts and such? спасибо

[@Igorinrussia]

Hello! Its pretty sure you will arrive dring the same day to Tallinn, if you leave in the morning. The travel time depends on the border crossing time. Maybe 8-12h all together. The border on this directions scan yiur bags (russia) normally, estonians started checking everythibg .

[@oohjesus2]

what about this schedule? Its offered by Ecolines and its also via Narva border but it starts late afternoon from Tallinn @ 16:45 so by the time I get to Narva border, it will be 19:30 so at least it will NOT be too hot like your other video showed. Even if we wait a long time in line, its okay if its not too hot. Do you think so ?

I have seen reports of people taking about 10 hrs to cross the border today from Narva to Ivangorod. There's some backlog due to the weekend closure, hoping things improve a little in the next few days 🤔

[@peeterl.2016]

Yes, because russians tried to interrupt our Victory day parade in Narva. They didn't let people through to Russia.

[@fireflyrobert]

Yes it took me 10 hours to cross Narva/Ivangorod due pent up demand. At last I’m now on coach to Saint Petersburg
