This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
This guide has a section for each city pair across EE, FI, LV, LT and the near neighbours (~1,500 pairs from ~60 places): road kilometres and driving time, bus and train time where a service exists, the ferry leg if there is one, fuel cost at today's price, the cycling days at a touring pace, the walking days, and the same distance expressed in steps. A focused example is "Tallinn to Tartu - 186 km, 2 h 20, 12 h by bike, 245,000 steps".
How to use it
Use How far it is, and how long that takes you to compare stable place facts and official facilities. Live opening, access and disruption information should always be confirmed with the operator before travel.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.
Source: computed from OpenStreetMap road geometry via OSRM (ODbL, attributed); fuel prices from the existing price data. · checked 2026-09-09
Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
the cycling and pace tools in /utilities convert a distance you already have; these are the named pairs people search by name.
