Estonia

I had no idea what to expect of Estonia on my first visit to Tallinn. But, I quickly fell head over heels in love! To me, it felt like a city from a fairytale with its castles, towers and church spires all with a backdrop of the glittering Baltic Sea. It has to be on your bucket list. Saying this, Estonia is way more than its capital and I would recommend visiting other exciting destinations too. Let’s start planning!

When is the best time to visit?

Between April and October to avoid the bitter Baltic Sea cold. However, the off season means less cruise ships and crowds. Plus, the Christmas markets are magical!

I highly recommend booking Travel Insurance for Estonia. I always choose World Nomads;

Things to know before visiting Estonia

  1. If you’re from Europe, you do not need a visa to travel to Estonia for up to 90 days.
  2. Don’t just visit the capital of Tallinn. I would recommend heading out to other places like Lahemaa National Park, Parnu and Tartu.
  3. Estonia is a very safe country to visit with a low crime rate. I’ve travelled solo here twice and faced no issues at all.
  4. I would recommend taking a ferry to Helsinki in Finland while you’re here. It makes an awesome day trip.
  5. Buy a Tallinn Card to save lots of money on attractions!
