By the way, Viljandi is easy to reach by both train and bus, and public transport is available within the city. If travelling by car is unavoidable, please note that parking on Viljandi’s streets is partly subject to a fee. Most parking lots at shopping centres and commercial buildings in the city centre are either paid or offer free parking for up to two hours with a parking disc.
