Best time to visit estonia.

July and August are the hottest and busiest months in Estonia. From May to September, days are mild and the nights cool. Though snowy in winter, there’s regular, mild to moderate rainfall throughout the year, becoming slightly heavier towards spring. Slush under foot is something you have to cope with in autumn, when snow falls then melts, and in spring, when the winter snow thaws.

Top 10 Estonian tastes

1. marineeritud angerjas.

If you want the real Estonian food experience, it’s best to start with this slippery little number - marinated eel served cold.

Pork is a staple of Estonian food, and no pork dish is more popular than sult - boiled pork in jelly. Step inside an Estonian home to see jar after jar of jelly setting on the shelves.

3. Mulgikapsad

Dig in to a hearty serving of sauerkraut stew with pork and boiled potatoes. It’ll keep you going all winter, and well into spring.

This beer is made from rye or oat malts filtered through straw and juniper twigs. It’s claimed to be one of the world’s oldest continuous beer-making traditions, drawing inspiration from Babylonian beer-making methods.

5. Saku Originaal

For a more modern taste, join the locals in a Saku Originaal - a fine lager, and the most popular in Estonia.

6. Silgusoust

There’s nothing like sprats if they’re accompanied with bacon and lashings of sour cream.

This non-alcoholic drink has been nicknamed ‘the Estonian Coca-Cola’ for its sweet, slightly fizzy taste.

8. Vervivorst

If you’re lucky enough to spend Christmas in Estonia, be sure to try this blood and barley sausage. It’s similar to black pudding and served with berry jam.

A thick dessert drink made with sour milk (kefir) and a mixture of ground grains - rye, oat barley and pea flour.

10. Keel Hernestega

Not for the faint hearted, this dish of cold tongue is usually served with horseradish for added pizazz.

Geography and environment

The most northerly of the Baltic countries, Estonia is blessed with forests and a long coastline. To the east it neighbors   Russia   and to the south   Latvia , while just across the Baltic Sea is   Finland .

Estonia Tours & Travel Guide

Estonia Attractions & Landmarks Guide

The northernmost Baltic state in Europe, Estonia is closely related to Finland in culture and language. With human history in the area dating back to the end of the glacial era, Estonia is a perfect place for archaeology and history enthusiasts. Once a part of the Soviet Union, Estonia reclaimed its independence in 1991, and today is well worth a visit for scenery, history, and culture.

Why visit Estonia on a guided tour?

A guided tour is a great way to see Estonia and neighboring countries. Estonia is a country with a rich cultural heritage. An experienced guide will have vast knowledge of Estonia and bring you to the best places to immerse yourself in the culture . 

For solo travelers, traveling with a tour group offers opportunities to meet new people who also love to travel. In a group, you have the option to go off on your own or stick with other tour members when exploring a new place. Group trips also provides a sense of safety to solo travelers who may feel apprehensive about traveling alone.

Using a tour company instead of booking independently also allows travelers to fully experience the beauty and culture of the destination without worrying about logistics. If your ideal itinerary includes visiting multiple destinations in the region, a tour company is able to arrange transportation and lodging. Relying on a tour company to take care of logistics saves you time and energy on your trip-- you can just focus on enjoying all that Estonia has to offer.

Packing List for Estonia Tours

Your packing list for an Estonia tour will depend on the season. Winters in Estonia are notoriously cold; thick jackets, hats, and boots are necessary for winter tours, especially winter ski tours in the mountains.

Chilly temperatures last well into the spring, so be sure to bring jackets, gloves, and scarves when visiting in March, April, or May. If you’re visiting in the summer months, the weather will generally be warm, but be sure to bring a layer or two. Even the warmest summer days in Estonia may be considered mild elsewhere, with temperatures rarely exceeding 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

For those visiting one or more of the country’s national parks, be sure to bring a comfortable pair of hiking shoes or cycling shoes, depending on your intended activity. And if Pãrnu or another seaside town is on your itinerary, don’t forget a swimsuit!

Cities in Estonia

• Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia and a must-see for any visitor. It is said to be the best-preserved medieval in Europe, reflected in its stunning architecture and cobblestoned streets. Tallinn boasts a variety of museums, restaurants, and hotels. Tallinn Airport is the biggest airport in Estonia, so Tallinn is a perfect place to begin or end your journey.
• Pärnu is a resort city which lies on the Baltic Sea. It is a very popular summer destination for those looking to relax on the beach or hit the spa. 
• Tartu is home to the famous University of Tartu, one of the oldest universities in Europe. Tours of Tartu may include exploring historic Old Town and visiting the many famous museums including the Estonian National Museum.

Cultural Attractions in Estonia

From exploring museums to enjoying traditional folk music, visitors to Estonia have a variety of cultural experiences to choose from. The capital city of Tallinn is a wonderful place to explore the country’s rich cultural heritage. 

The Estonian Open Air Museum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Estonia, attracting visitors of all ages. This “living” museum is a replica of an 18th-century medieval Estonian village. It is an excellent place to interact with costumed staff, explore the streets, and taste traditional Estonian cuisine. 

The sauna plays a major role in Estonian culture. For about 800 years, it has been said to be a place of healing for the body and soul. One common practice is “whisking,” which means to beat the body with birch twigs to exfoliate the skin. Visit a smoke sauna during your trip for a uniquely Estonian experience.

Take a tour on the historic Onion Route to learn about the history of the Old Believers, a religious group founded by Russians fleeing persecution from the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century. Visit the Kolkja Old Believers Museum to learn more about the unique culture and traditions of the group.

Estonian Cuisine

Traditional Estonian cuisine is generally centered around meat, fish, and potatoes . A variety of Estonian food draws inspiration from the cuisines of other countries, such as Russia , Germany , and Denmark .

The food also tends to change based on the season, with summer meals filled with vegetables, jams, and juices while winter meals lean towards stews and casseroles. Rhubarb pie and bread pudding are popular Estonian desserts. 

Be sure to try freshly baked bread during your visit. Homemade bread is very common in Estonia, and rye bread tends to be the most popular variety in all of the Baltic states.

Many Estonians have bread recipes passed down for generations. These recipes often include additions like berries, nuts, or even bacon. Bread is an important part of Estonian culture , and a trip to Estonia is not complete without visiting a local bakery.  

As for drinks, Vana Tallinn is a rum-like liquor which is the drink of choice for many locals. Some Estonians also enjoy brewing their own beer at home or visiting local breweries. A popular non-alcoholic drink option is Kali, which is a sweet drink similar to root beer.

If you’re looking to fully experience the variety of flavors in traditional Estonian cuisine, you may consider booking a food tour or homestay in Estonia .

Estonia Souvenirs

Many travelers enjoy bringing a souvenir home with them to gift to friends and family or remind them of their trip. While it can be tempting to purchase something at a gift shop, there are a few alternatives that are uniquely Estonian.

For example, Kalev is an Estonian chocolate company popular amongst locals and can be found at most candy shops and grocery stores. Tallinn is home to many small boutiques and shops; purchasing gifts and souvenirs locally is a great way to support small businesses.

Jewelry made in Estonia is perfect to give as a gift and your purchase will support a local jeweler. Another option is to buy Estonian-made clothing ; because winters are so cold, wool and knitted clothing with traditional patterns are very popular.

Festivals in Estonia

Folk music festivals in Estonia are very popular, especially in the summer months. The Hiiu Folk Music Festival takes place on the Estonian island of Hiiumaa and is an especially fun event for families traveling with children. At this festival, you can learn traditional Estonian dances and songs while enjoying the July sunshine.

For another traditional experience, the Viljandi Folk Music Festival is held annually in late July in the village of Viljandi. The festival began over twenty years ago to promote traditional Estonain folk music and to increase its popularity amongst young people. It is now well known as one of the biggest folk music festivals in Europe . 

For a more modern experience, the Weekend Festival Baltic takes place in the seaside resort town of Pärnu and is an electronic dance music event. The festival is held right on the beach and famous previous performers include The Chainsmokers, Avicii, Post Malone, and David Guetta.

Top things to do in Tallinn

Tallinn is Estonia’s capital city and a hub of architecture, fine dining, and history. The city offers many free walking tours guided by locals who can provide unique expertise. The Old Town of Tallinn is the most popular tourist destination in Estonia, with medieval cathedrals and a variety of restaurants to choose from. 

Tallinn offers lively nightlife and there are many eccentric pubs and bars to choose from. Estonians enjoy locally brewed beers and spirits and Tallinn is a great place to mingle with locals and explore the unique bar scene.

For those in Tallinn on warmer days, Kadriorg Park is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon exploring and enjoying the sunshine. The park surrounds the colorful Presidential Palace and is also home to a variety of museums and monuments.

St. Olaf’s Church is a famous Tallinn tourist attraction and one of the most photographed and well-known sights of Tallinn. The church was built in the 12th century and remains an important cultural spot in Old Town.

For those interested in exploring Estonia’s history, the KGB museum and prison cells offer a look into Tallinn during the Soviet occupation. Visit the museum to view a variety of artifacts from the occupation, while the prison cells serve as a reminder of the brutality of the Soviet regime.

Outdoor Adventure Travel in Estonia

Estonia offers a variety of outdoor activities for travelers of all ages and levels of experience. Despite its small size, the country boasts five national parks and many more protected nature areas. 

Lahemaa National Park is the largest national park and is popular for its rare wildlife and great hiking and cycling trails. There are also many campgrounds for those looking to stay overnight. Its proximity to Tallinn makes it a great spot for a one-day or multi-day trip.

Estonia is also an incredible destination for winter sports . Cross-country skiers can take on the famous Tartu Ski Marathon track . Downhill and cross-country skiers alike will appreciate the slopes and runs of Oteppää , a world-famous winter resort popular amongst skiers and snowboarders.

Some handy travel advice:

When planning your Estonian adventure, choose the time that suits your interests best. For sun-soaked sandy beaches, outdoor activities, and warm weather, May to July is your ideal window. On the flip side, if you’re a winter sports enthusiast, December and January offer prime opportunities to experience the exhilaration of Estonia’s winter wonderland.

Getting around Estonia is a breeze, primarily thanks to its extensive bus network. Buses crisscross the country, making it easy to explore every corner. While the railway system mainly connects Tallinn with Tartu and Narva, buses are your go-to choice for seamless travel, ensuring you can effortlessly discover all that Estonia has to offer.

The Ultimate 5 to 7 Days in Estonia Itinerary

Plenty of visitors to the northernmost Baltic State set their sites solely on the capital of Tallinn and fail to plan a full Estonia itinerary to see other parts of the country. And while Tallinn does have a lot to offer, it’s worth spending at least 5 to 7 days in Estonia to really get a feel for the country.

Estonia has a lot to offer visitors from charming towns to gorgeous beaches to lush national parks. And though the country is small, there is quite a lot to see that if you only have around a week to spend in the region, you should definitely consider planning a dedicated Estonia trip rather than trying to cram in other Baltic cities like Riga or Vilnius instead.

This itinerary will take you to some of the highlights of this country to help you get a great feel for this beautiful Baltic nation.

How many days in estonia.

Many travellers in the planning stages of their trips wonder how many days to spend in Estonia in order to cover a lot of ground but not feel rushed.

And the answer to this can really depend on what you’re after. If you only have a few days, plan to spend your time in Tallinn. To do the city justice, you will need to spend at least two days exploring the city itself and plan to spend another on a day trip to the surrounding area.

If you have 5 days in Estonia, this is where you can venture out a bit further and explore a little bit more. If you want to explore another Estonia city, consider visiting the second-largest city of Tartu, which is vibrant and absolutely charming.

You could also opt to, instead, head to Estonia’s largest island of Saaremaa and explore this gorgeous place. Or, if it’s the beach you’re after, consider adding a couple of days in Parnu to your itinerary

If you have one week in Estonia, then you have a lot more flexibility. In fact, this would be the recommended amount of time to spend here (if not longer). Though you still won’t be able to visit everywhere of interest in the country, you will be able to cover a lot of ground.

Of course, there are so many places to see and enjoy in Estonia that you can certainly spend more than one week. However, if you want to get a lot of the destination and you do only have a limited amount of time to play around with, five to seven days can be just fine.

Getting To & Around Estonia

If you are only planning on visiting Estonia, you will likely be arriving into the capital city of Tallinn. Tallinn is home to its own international airport that, while small, serves several different European destinations and some that are further afield.

It’s also entirely possible that you’re arriving to Estonia via ferry. Tallinn’s port has direct connections with Helsinki , Finland and some of the Finnish Islands among other destinations. The port of Paldiski (about 50km west of Tallinn) has connections to Stockholm , Sweden as well.

Estonia is also well-connected by bus to neighbouring Latvia, so it is very easy to visit both countries as part of a longer Baltics itinerary.

Once in Estonia, you do have a few options on how to get around. If you are only spending 5 days in Estonia and plan to only visit Tallinn and Tartu, you can definitely do that while relying solely on public transport. Estonia has a broad bus network that is easy to use and very convenient. You can browse schedules here.

If you follow the 7-day Estonia itinerary, you may find it easiest to do this if you have your own car, though this isn’t entirely necessary. For those who want a lot of flexibility and want to get off the beaten path even further, then renting a car and planning an Estonia road trip is probably going to be your best option. This also allows you to be able to make some stops in between destinations, as well.

5 to 7 Days in Estonia Itinerary

Day 1 – tallinn.

Begin your Estonia trip in the beautiful capital of Tallinn . While the Old Town is very popular with tourists, it’s worth spending some time here (especially in the morning or evening before or after the cruise ship crowds have dispersed) to really take in its splendour.

Known to be one of the most well-preserved medieval old towns in Europe, it’s sure to take your breath away.

Spend a few hours exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town either independently or on a walking tour and learning about the history of this side of the city. Some of the highlights include the Town Hall Square, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Patkuli Viewing Platform.

Afterwards, head outside of the old town to explore the trendy Kalamaja neighbourhood which was traditionally the home of local fishermen but has been transformed in recent years to be a hip area full of cafes, bars and boutique shops.

If you want to see an alternative side of the city (and find a great place for a meal), make sure to head to the Telliskivi Creative City, as well.

Where to Stay in Tallinn

Day 2 – Tallinn

On your second day in Tallinn, take this time to dig a bit deeper into the Estonian capital. Begin your day wandering around the harbour and visit the imposing Linnahall centre.

This structure was built for the 1980 Olympics and it is an excellent example of Soviet-era architecture – and it is particularly striking against the medieval Old Town.

Moving a bit further along the harbour, you will find the Seaplane Harbour Museum, which is another popular place to visit in the city.

Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, head to Balti Jaama Turg. This is a local market which combines both grocery shopping and local food stalls that make for a great lunch spot. If you’re interested in learning more about the food scene in Tallinn, consider  booking this food tour .

And if you want to unwind after your day of exploration, then head to the Põhjala Brewery taproom to drink some locally brewed craft beer in a cool setting.

Day 3 – Lahemaa National Park

Spend your final day in Tallinn on a day trip to nearby Lahemaa National Park and the Jägala Waterfall. While this trip is certainly easiest done when you have your own car, there are both organised trips such as this full-day tour and public buses available as well.

Lahemaa National Park is only about forty minutes outside of Tallinn and is perhaps best known for being home to the Viru Bog.

Here you can go on an easy 6km loop walk along the bog and enjoy the unique ecosystem and natural beauty. We also recommend stopping to view the nearby Jägala Waterfall and heading to the village of Võsu and admiring the beach.

Day 4 – Tartu

On day four of this itinerary, it’s time to hit the road and visit the country’s second-largest city of Tartu . This small city is often overlooked, but it is absolutely charming and well worth exploring.

Spend your first day in Tartu wandering around the lovely old town. Take in the top sites, climb the tower of St John’s Church and even visit the Tartu Botanical Garden before strolling along the beautiful Emajogi River.

Then, wander a bit away from the Old Town to the Karlova neighbourhood. This is a cool, alternative place with lots of art and some beautiful wooden houses.

Here, you can find the trendy Aparaaditehas complex, which is reminiscent of Telliskivi in Tallinn. This former Soviet widget factory has a lot of shops and restaurants that are worth visiting.

Where to Stay in Tartu

Hotel Soho – If you’re looking for a good mid-range option in Tartu, then this boutique hotel is a great choice. They have clean and comfortable rooms on offer and there is also breakfast included in the nightly rate.

TartuKodu Riia – If you’d like to have your own place while visiting Tartu, then this one-bedroom apartment is an excellent choice. Centrally located, the flat is fully furnished and a great place to base yourself when exploring Estonia’s second city.

Looming Hostel   – For those travelling solo or on a budget, this hostel is a good option. Located across the street from Aparaaditehas, they have both dorm and private rooms on offer, good common areas, and a nice roof terrace. It is also possible to purchase breakfast at an extra cost.

Day 5 – Tartu

On your second day in Tartu and your final day in the country (if you’re only spending 5 days in Estonia), take the time to dig a little bit deeper in the city and visit a couple of museums.

The first museum that we would recommend would be the KGB Cells Museum. This is a former Soviet prison where you can get a harrowing overview of the effects of the regime on residents of Tartu.

If you’re looking for something fun and interactive, then head to the Estonian Printing and Paper Museum which is located in the Aparaaditehas complex. This is another fascinating museum and entry also includes a guided tour where you can make some of your own prints.

Finally, for a those wanting to explore more of the history and culture of the country, head to the Estonian National Museum.

Day 6 – Saaremaa

If you’re able to spend 7 days in Estonia, make your final destination in the beautiful country be the lovely island of Saaremaa.

As the largest of Estonia’s islands, there are a lot of things to do in Saaremaa that make it a really worthwhile place to visit. There are also countless wild beaches and beautiful forests to relax in, so it is a great place to unwind after a busy week.

You can reach Saaremaa via car ferry from the coastal town of Virtsu. While it is helpful to have a car here, you can also get a bus from Tartu to Kuressaare, the largest town on the island.

Plan to spend your first day on Saaremaa exploring some of the highlights of the island for instance, taking in the Kaali Meteorite Crater, driving down to the Sõrve Lighthouse or simply wandering around Kuressaare and visiting the town’s beautiful Medieval castle.

Where to Stay on Saaremaa

Ekesparre Boutique Hotel – If you’re after a luxury option on the island, this boutique hotel is a fantastic choice. Located in the centre of Kuressaare, this is claims to be the island’s oldest hotel. They have a range of plus rooms on offer and it is a great place for couples looking for a romantic getaway.

Stuudio 17 – For those who are after their own space when visiting Saaremaa, this one-bedroom apartment is a great choice. Located in Kuressaare, the flat is fully furnished, located on a quiet street and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay.

Guesthouse Laurits – This cosy guesthouse is an excellent place to stay if you’re after a good, budget-friendly option on Saaremaa. Situated in Kuressaare, they are pet friendly and have a shared kitchen where you can prepare your own meals should you wish.

Not quite what you’re looking for? Click here to browse more Saaremaa hotels!  

Day 7 – Saaremaa

On your final day in Estonia, take the time to explore a bit more of Saaremaa before grabbing a later ferry and heading back to Tallinn. You could take the time to visit the gorgeous Tuhkana Beach on the north of the island or visit the imposing Panga Cliffs.

Once you’ve made it back to the mainland, consider making a pit stop in the lovely town of Haapsalu on the coast. This is the jumping-off point for heading to Hiiumaa Island, however, the town is absolutely lovely and worth exploring in its own right.

Haapsalu’s old railway station has a fascinating collection of defunct trains to view and the city centre has an interesting medieval castle to explore. The main town is also very charming and there are plenty of great places to eat in the town, as well.

From Haapsalu, it is about 1.5 hours driving to get back to Tallinn.

Have More Time?

If you have more than a week in Estonia, then there are plenty of ways you can occupy your time. If you’re after for a seaside getaway, then make sure to spend a couple of days in the lovely city of Parnu on the Baltic Sea.

Alternatively, you could also opt to explore Estonia’s third-largest city of Narva, which is located in the east of the country close to the Russian border.

And if you are interested in visiting some more islands, hop on a ferry to Hiiumaa to explore even further.

There is so much to see and do in Estonia beyond Tallinn that it is so worth trying to plan at least a week in this beautiful country. No matter how long you have to spend here, however, you are sure to leave with lasting memories.

Hi Maggie, Loved your blog! My husband and I are headed to Estonia and are staying in Tallinn, Taagepera and Parnu. We have 8 days to travel and sightsee. I’m having trouble finding a private driver that can crive us through the country also acting as a tour guide. Was hoping you might have a name of someone or a company that would act as our guide. Thanks for any help you can give me. Debbie

Thanks for your kind words, Debbie! Unfortunately, we don’t work with any private drivers so I’m not able to help you there 🙂

I found a site that gave me all Estonia!! We are headed to Tallinn from Nov 8-13 (which leaves us four full days). Is it worth going to Laheema and the falls at this time of the year? I also thought about renting a car for two nights to go both here and then another excursion (whether it be the Tartu or Narva. You did take the option of going to Helsinki off the table for a day trip as I feel like it would be rushed.

Hi Scott – I think it’s definitely still worth it to head to Lahemaa. It will be chilly but certainly will still be beautiful. Personally, I would recommend heading to Tartu because it’s a really nice little city. I haven’t been to Narva so I can’t offer any advice on that end 🙂

The essential guide to visiting Estonia

Here’s everything you need to know about exploring this compact Baltic nation—when to go, where to stay, what to do, and how to get around.

Why you should visit Estonia  

Medieval marvels in Tallinn ’s Old Town . Lively street art in Tartu . Golden-sand beaches in Pärnu . The 160 islands of Vilsandi National Park .  

Best time to visit Estonia  

Spring:   Canoe through the forests of Soomaa National Park during the “ fifth season ,” when the park floods between March and April. Estonia ranks second in Europe for bird diversity. Spot six species of eagle, and eight of the nine European woodpecker species in Matsalu National Park and Nõva Nature Reserve . Bring your binoculars in March for the spring migration that peaks in mid-May.  

Summer: Head to the Estonian Open Air Museum in Tallinn to take part in the Midsummer ( Jaanipäev   ) festivities with bonfires and folk music on the eve of June 23. This is the time to sample seasonal Estonian foods, such as Arctic char and the sweetened curd dessert kohuke. Relax in one of the many spas on Saaremaa island.  

Autumn: Spot brown bears in Alutaguse National Park or go for a bog shoe walk in Estonia’s wetlands. Admire the achievements of modern design at the week-long Tallinn Design Festival (Disainiöö) in September.  

Winter: Munch on Estonian gingerbread cookies while sipping hot mulled wine at one of the Christmas markets in Tallinn , Tartu , or smaller cities . With no mountains—Estonia’s highest point Suur Munamägi   rises to 1,043 feet— Pärnu ’s windy and flat coastline offers ideal conditions for winter kiteboarding.  

Lay of the land  

Cities: Rent a bike to explore Tallinn’s medieval Old Town. A mile away, the 173-acre Kadriorg Park   is home to contemporary   and international art museums. Telliskivi Creative City   is the site of the famed photography museum Fotografiska .   Tartu, the oldest city in the Baltics, has a rich street art scene. Join a tour or use the street art map to find them solo. Spa towns such as Narva-Jõesuu and Pärnu offer winter and summer beachside activities such as fatbiking, kicksledging, and ice fishing.  

East:   Lighthouses, colorful cottages, and old mansions dot the area around Lake Peipus , the largest lake to connect two countries in Europe. Learn about the Russian Old Believers’ (Russian Orthodox traditionalists who fled persecutions across the border in the 17th century) traditions, such as samovar tea ceremonies and handicrafts, at the Peipsimaa Heritage Center or take a tour of the 17th-century Alatskivi Castle .  

( On this matriarchal European island, ancient customs thrive .)

South: Wander through the streets of Viljandi, the folk music center of southern Estonia, during medieval fairs, music and heritage festivals, and Hanseatic Days .  

West: The historic spa towns Pärnu and Haapsalu hug the coast of the Baltic Sea in western Estonia. Take a ferry to one of the dozens of islands in the West Estonian Archipelago , where you can hike or bike through juniper groves or tour 19th-century lighthouses and windmills.  

North: Discover a mix of cutting-edge galleries and medieval Hanseatic architecture in the country’s capital and biggest city, Tallinn. Drive 50 miles east of town to tour the ornate grounds of Palmse Manor in Lahemaa National Park , the first and largest park in Estonia.  

Getting around Estonia  

By plane: There are domestic flights between Tallinn Airport and regional hubs, including Kuressaare airport in Saaremaa.  

By bus: LuxExpress is the primary provider in Estonia. Buy tickets via the app or the Tpilet website.

By car: Highways T1, T2, T4, and T11 connect the main cities. T1 is the main national road connecting Tallinn with Narva. As in most European countries, motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road in Estonia.

By ferry: Regular ferries connect larger islands, including Saaremaa, Hiiumaa , and Kihnu .   Tour operators sail from Tallinn to the smaller islands and cruise ships to Helsinki and Stockholm.  

Know before you go  

Languages: Estonian is the official language. Russian is the most spoken minority language.  

LGBTQ+: Same-sex couples can legally marry and jointly adopt starting January 1, 2024, making Estonia the first ex-Soviet state to legalize same-sex marriage.  

How to visit Estonia sustainably  

Outdoors:   The State Forest Management Centre (RMK) provides an app for all free camping sites in the country and hiking trails. Help preserve the forests by staying on the main trail, road, or marked spurs.  

With 50 percent of the nation covered by forest, Estonia is a forager’s dream. The Estonian State Forest Management Centre has compiled a list of best mushroom and berry picking spots nearby camping areas across the country. Not sure what to pick? Go foraging with a local guide .  

Shopping: Tallinn is a treasure trove for vintage shopping. Favoring locally made products, Estonians have a long tradition in producing art in fiber, woodwork, and pottery. Look for shops marked with the Certified Estonian Artisanal Craft label from the Estonian Folk Art and Craft Union to ensure authenticity.

Dining: Eco-friendly dining spots are popping up in the capital city and elsewhere. Search for eco-tourism quality label “ EHE ” (Genuine and Interesting Estonia) that shows the restaurant is making sustainable choices.

Travel Better, Cheaper, Longer

Estonia Travel Guide

Last Updated: August 25, 2023

Tucked away in the Baltics, Estonia has become a popular destination thanks to cheap flights, beautiful cities, a wild nightlife, and the country’s stalwart support for digital nomads and remote workers (it’s also a popular spot for cruisers since many ships stop there as well).

I loved my time here. Unlike the stereotypes many people have about Eastern Europe, Estonia is a modern, organized, and tech-forward country. It has more start-ups than Silicon Valley and everything is done online here.

With more than 1,500 islands, swaths of untouched old-growth forests, and historic castles and churches, Estonia seamlessly blends old and new. Be sure to get out of Tallinn, too. There’s more to the country than just its capital.

This travel guide to Estonia can help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your time in this underrated European destination!

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Estonia

1. Party in Tallinn

Estonia’s historic capital city Tallinn is a cultural melting pot on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Here you can explore one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Northern Europe. Wander along the cobblestone streets while taking in historic architecture of the Old Town. While it has a lot of history to offer, it’s also ripe with bars, pubs, nightclubs, and cheap drinks. If you love live music, you’ll be impressed with Tallinn. There’s a vibrant party scene here that’s both fun and affordable.

2. Visit Pärnu

Overlooking Pärnu Bay is the resort city of Pärnu. Perched over the Baltic Sea, it’s a lovely place to relax for a few days. In the warmer months you can walk 20 minutes from the town center to the expansive Blue Flag beach with soft sand and calm water that is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. It makes for a perfect jumping-off point for anyone wanting to do any sailing while in Estonia. When you’ve had your fill of sand and saltwater, pamper yourself with a mud bath at the seaside 1920’s era spa. Like everywhere in Estonia, there’s some incredible historic architecture, like the old Russian style Transformation of Our Lord Church. Divided by the Pärnu River, the city is known for its 19th-century timber villas as well as the relaxing beaches of Pärnu Bay.

3. Get lost in Vanalinn

For the perfect mix of medieval and modern, venture into Tallinn’s Old Town, Vanalinn. This part of the city was built between the 13th and 16th centuries and was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1997. The original architecture is unbelievably well preserved — even after aggressive World War II bombings. Within the historic town square, you’ll find the 13th century Gothic Town Hall complete with a 64-meter-tall (209 feet) tower. It’s full of cobblestone streets and gothic architecture and makes for stunning photos and fun people watching.

4. Relax in Saaremaa

Home to the medieval castle Kuressaare (which dates to the 16th century), the island of Saaremaa is a beautiful place for hikers and bird watchers to escape into nature. Saaremaa is known for its beaches and traditional villages. Archeologists believe the island has been inhabited since 5000 BCE. The island is home to Vilsandi National Park, which spans 238 square kilometers (91 square miles) and is home to almost 250 species of birds. The climate makes it a hotspot for all types of flora and fauna. You can also visit the site of the Kaali meteorite strike (which happened over 3,000 years ago) with its huge craters and a unique museum full of chunks of the meteor.

5. Visit Lahemaa National Park

Located one hour east of Tallinn, this park showcases Estonia’s incredible natural beauty. The park was established in 1971 to protect the region, and it remains one of the main tourist attractions in the country. Spanning 750 square kilometers (289 square miles), it’s a wonderful hiking spot perfect for nature lovers thanks to the many large mammals living in the forests, including deer, wolves, bears, and lynx. About 70% of the park is covered in forest and there are a few incredible hiking trails to explore. Raised bogs are another interesting feature, especially Laukasoo Reserve which is believed to be 7000 years old. Those interested in architecture will love exploring the historic manors within the park, including the famous Baroque masterpiece Sagadi Manor. Admission is free.

Other Things to See and Do in Estonia

1. spot wildlife in soomaa national park.

Soomaa National Park is one of the most magical natural landscapes in Estonia. Spread out over 359 square kilometers (138 square miles), the park is home to elk, deer, boar, lynx, wolves, beavers, bears, and more. Located 140 kilometers (87 miles) south of Tallinn, the park is a popular getaway for hikers. The nearby Raudna River and Parnu Basin also offer the opportunity to kayak and canoe. Much of the park floods in the spring, giving you the chance to explore the forests via canoe/kayak. Admission to the park is free. Canoe and kayak rentals cost 27 EUR. Guided tours cost around 50 EUR.

2. Go skiing in Otepaa

A much-loved hiking and mountain biking destination during the summer, in the winter Otepaa transforms into the winter capital of Estonia. There are a couple of kilometers of mountains here and 8 different lifts that offer access. It’s one of the most budget-friendly places to ski in Europe . Lift passes cost around 38 EUR. Expect to pay another 35 EUR for a one-hour ski lesson and 15 EUR per day for ski rentals.

3. Explore Kuressaare Castle

Located on Saaremaa Island in western Estonia, Kuressaare Castle is the best-preserved castle in the Baltics. Built in the 14th century, the castle and its moat were constructed on the grounds of the original castle that dated to the 13th century. The current castle was constructed in the late Gothic style and consists of a large square building surrounding a spacious courtyard. A 36-meter (121-foot) defensive tower and traditional medieval portcullis make up the castle’s defenses. There’s a museum inside that sheds light on the castle’s history, including when the Nazis used the castle to execute dissidents. Admission to the castle is free while the museum costs 10 EUR. Bike rentals cost 4 EUR an hour and rowboats cost 10 EUR per hour.

4. Hang out in Tartu

Tartu holds the title of the intellectual (and hipster) capital of Estonia. Located two hours south of Tallinn, here you’ll find the country’s most prestigious university (University of Tartu), a historic citadel, and the ruins of the city’s cathedral (which dates to the 13th century). Be sure to explore Soup Town (a neighborhood composed of old wooden houses), see the 18th-century town hall (which stands out because it’s pink and red), and spend some time people-watching at a café in Raekoja Square, the city’s historic main square.

5. Visit the Estonian National Museum

Founded in 1909, this museum is located in Tartu. It was expanded in 2016 and moved into a massive new building. There are tons of exhibitions on Estonian history, with a detailed gallery on the Russian occupation of the country (which lasted from 1940-1991). The museum provides a solid historical and cultural foundation to help you better understand Estonia’s past and present. Admission is 14 EUR.

6. Visit Kaali Meteorite Crater Field

Located on Saaremaa Island, this site is where a giant meteorite hit over 7,500 years ago. There are 9 craters in total, with the largest crater spanning 110 meters in diameter (360 feet) and reaching depths of 22 meters (72 feet). All kinds of animal bones have been found here and there is a stone wall built around the area (dating to the Bronze Age), leaving archaeologists to surmise that the area was used for some kind of cult or religious ceremonies after the craters were made. Admission is free, though the small museum nearby costs 1.60 EUR to enter.

7. Enjoy an open-air festival in Viljandi

For summer festivals and live music, head to Viljandi. Located in the middle of the country, the town’s medieval castle is used for concerts and music festivals (especially traditional folk music). While you’re here, be sure to spend some time relaxing at Lake Viljandi where you can swim and enjoy the beach. Lake Võrtsjärv, the largest inland lake in the country, is also nearby.

8. Visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town. Standing 45 meters tall (150 feet), it was built between 1894-1900 in the Russian Revival style. It was left to decline under Soviet rule, however, once Estonia gained independence it was restored to its former glory. As well as the elaborately decorated bells (the largest weighing almost 16 tons) there are some beautiful religious mosaics inside and incredibly detailed stained glass windows. Admission is free but it’s a place of worship so dress respectfully.

9. Try windsurfing

With so much of the country surrounded by water, Estonia is a perfect destination for windsurfing. There are windsurfing shops on the west coast and in the north that offer rentals for 25-40 EUR and lessons from 66 EUR per hour. If windsurfing isn’t your thing, you can also enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, wakeboarding, or water skiing. Expect to pay around 20 EUR for those activities.

10. Visit the KGB Museum

Located on the top floor of Tallinn’s luxurious Hotel Viru are the KGB’s former spy rooms (the KGB was the Soviet Union’s secret police). The rooms were discovered after the KGB fled Estonia in the early 1990s. The hotel owners decided to keep the rooms exactly the way they were. Inside are listening and surveillance equipment that looks like something straight out of a vintage spy movie. The museum is only accessible as part of a guided tour that can be booked from the hotel lobby. The tour costs 12 EUR.

11. Go birding in Matsalu National Park

This is one of the best places to spot endangered species like the white-tailed eagle or watch the migrating cranes. Established in 1957, the park was created to protect the nesting and migrating birds. It’s located on the west coast of the country, spanning almost 500 square kilometers (192 square miles). Every year, between 10,000-20,000 cranes and upwards of 40,000 ducks visit the park as they migrate. Admission is free.

12. Wander Linnahall

Commissioned by the Soviet Union to accommodate the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics, Tallinn’s Linnahall sports complex is now a giant, imposing, concrete ghost town. An amphitheater that seats 5,000 was unable to be utilized once the Olympic-sized crowds had departed so it now lies crumbling (construction was rushed and was done poorly so the buildings are falling apart). Over 66 countries boycotted the games due to the U.S.’s disapproval of the Soviet-Afghan war. Today, the venue is not in use so you’re free to wander and explore. Its location above the city makes it a great lookout spot. It’s an interesting place to wander around if you have a spare few hours.

13. Visit the Estonian Open-Air Museum

Hidden amongst the trees and forests just outside of Tallinn, this open-air museum is a reconstruction of an 18th-century rural village. It’s home to all kinds of traditional Estonian buildings. There are actors dressed up in historical garb as well as traditional professions on display, such as basket weaving and blacksmithing. There are over 80 wooden buildings you can visit, including a church, school, tavern, and farmhouse. Admission is 10 EUR.

Estonia Travel Costs

Accommodation – Hostel dorms start at 10 EUR per night for a bed in a 10-20 bed dorm. A smaller dorm with 6-8 beds costs 15 EUR per night. For a private room in a hostel, expect to pay at least 30 EUR per night. Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels have self-catering facilities. A few include free breakfast.

Budget hotels start at 40 EUR per night for a double or twin room that includes free breakfast and free Wi-Fi.

Airbnb is available around the country with private rooms starting at 20 EUR per night. For an entire home or apartment, expect to pay at least 35 EUR per night (though prices average double that).

For anyone traveling with a tent, Estonia is one of the best places in Europe for wild camping. Wild camping is permitted on government land (though some of the national parks do have restrictions). Here’s a list of the places you can wild camp in Estonia .

Food – Estonian food has a mix of influences from Russia, Germany, and Scandinavia. Dishes are commonly based around meat and potatoes as well as seasonal vegetables. Soups are a common main course as well. Pickled foods like beets, cucumbers, and fish, as well as rye bread and herring, make up the basis of much of the local cuisine. As in Scandinavia, open-faced sandwiches are a quick to-go snack. Verivorst and mulgikapsad (blood sausage and sauerkraut) are two of the most popular national dishes.

For an inexpensive meal at a café or restaurant, expect to pay between 6-13 EUR. A traditional sausage or stuffed pancake costs just under 3 EUR while fast food meals (think McDonald’s) cost around 7 EUR.

A multi-course meal at a restaurant with table service costs around 40 EUR, including a drink. Expect dishes like grilled salmon, lamb ribs, and roasted pork or duck. For something like Thai or Indian food (which is only really available in Tallinn and Tartu), expect to pay around 12-15 EUR for a meal.

Beer costs around 5 EUR. A latte/cappuccino is 3 EUR while bottled water is 1.50 EUR.

If you are planning to cook your own food, you can expect to spend around 30-40 EUR for a week’s worth of groceries. This includes basic staples like pasta, rice, seasonal produce, and some meat or fish.

Backpacking Estonia Suggested Budgets

On a backpacking budget of 35 EUR per day, you can stay in a hostel dorm, cook your meals, limit your drinking, take public transportation to get around, and do mostly free or cheap activities like free walking tours and visiting national parks. If you plan on drinking, add 5-10 EUR per day to your budget.

On a mid-range budget of 110 EUR per day, you can stay in a private hostel room or Airbnb, eat out at cheap restaurants serving traditional cuisine, drink more, take the occasional taxi to get around, and do more paid activities like museum visits or ski trips.

On a “luxury” budget of 225 EUR or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out anywhere you want, drink as much as you want, rent a car to get around, and do more paid activities and guided tours. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages – some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in EUR.

Estonia Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Estonia is a perfect destination for anyone on a budget. It’s not as cheap as it was years ago but there’s still a lot of value here — and still plenty of ways to reduce your costs! Here is how to save money during your visit:

• Take a free walking tour – Tallinn offers a handful of free walking tours which are great ways to get familiar with the city and the culture. Most hostels offer them and there are even some that have a special focus (such as the city’s Communist past). Just be sure to tip your guide at the end!
• Wild camp – If you really want to save money in Estonia, bring a tent. Wild camping is legal here so you can pitch your tent on public land throughout Estonia. Just make sure to pick up your trash when you’re done.
• Cook your own meals – Many hostels have kitchen facilities so you can cook your own meals. Buying your own groceries may not be as glamorous as going out to eat but it does save you money.
• Stay with a local – Staying with a local via Couchsurfing will get you a free place to stay while connecting you with a local who can share their insider tips and advice.
• Walk everywhere – All the major cities in Estonia are walkable so skip the public transportation if you want to save a few extra euros.
• Enjoy the free spaces – There are plenty of free parks as well as many free hiking trails around the country. If you’re on a tight budget, enjoy the outdoors.
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water in Estonia is safe to drink. Bring a reusable water bottle to avoid having to buy single-use plastic. LifeStraw is my go-to bottle as it has a built-in filter to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Estonia

Budget accommodation in Estonia is plentiful. Here are some of my favorite hostels in Estonia:

• Old Town Mukenof (Tallinn)
• Looming Hostel (Tartu)
• Hostel Louna (Parnu)
• Kalda Talu Puhkekeskus (Valga)

How to Get Around Estonia

Public transportation – In most smaller towns and cities in Estonia, it’s possible to walk everywhere. However, in larger cities like Tallinn, you may want to use public transport to get around. In Tallinn, you can purchase QR-code tickets or load money onto a Smartcard (a pre-paid bus card). There is an extensive network of trams, trolleys, and buses that service the city and surrounding suburbs.

Public transportation prices vary by city but expect to pay around 1.50 EUR for a standard 1-hour adult ticket.

Train – The trains in Estonia are reliable, cheap, and fast. Many even have free Wi-Fi. You can take an express train to Tartu from Tallinn in just two hours for 8-12 EUR each way. The two-hour journey from Tallinn to Viljandi is 10-12 EUR while the seven-hour train ride from Tallinn to Riga, Latvia starts at just 15 EUR.

Bus – Many people favor train travel over bus travel in Estonia because the prices are similar and, in many cases, the trains are faster. However, there are more scheduled buses per day than trains so the bus might better fit your schedule.

Buses start at just 5 EUR. To get from Tallinn to Tartu takes 2.5 hours (just 30 minutes longer than the train) and costs around 10 EUR. The bus from Tallinn to Saaremaa Island takes around 4 hours and costs 11 EUR while the journey from Tallinn to Viljandi takes just over 2 hours and costs 9 EUR. Expect to pay around 16 EUR for the 5.5-hour bus to Riga, Latvia.

Flying – Although there are domestic flights within Estonia, they’re prohibitively expensive and won’t save you any time as a high-speed train is almost as fast when you include check-in time. Skip flying.

Car rental – Car rentals cost as little as 28 EUR per day. You need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in order to rent a car here. For the best car rental prices, use Discover Cars .

When to Go to Estonia

The summer months of June-August are the busiest of the year (though busy in Estonia is far less busy than cities in Western Europe). During this time, the days are longer and the temperatures hover around 20°C (68°F). Almost all of Estonia’s festivals are held during these months.

To beat the crowds, visit between April-May or September-October. During these months, the temperatures are cooler, making it the perfect time to get outdoors and camp or hike. Plus, the peak tourist season is over so the crowds are thinner and things are a little cheaper.

During the winter, temperatures plummet and the country is blanketed in snow. Visiting Estonia during the winter can be a magical experience if you are interested in skiing or Christmas markets. Be warned though — temperatures can drop to -10°C (15°F).

How to Stay Safe in Estonia

Estonia is a safe country with a low crime rate. Within Tallinn, petty theft (including pickpocketing) is possible in the heavily-touristed areas, as well as on crowded public transportation and in busy bars/clubs. Keep your valuables out of sight and watch out for people (especially younger children) trying to distract you.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

If you’re heading out to enjoy Tallinn’s famous nightlife, leave your valuables at home. Avoid walking alone at night and stick to the main roads. Muggings are rare, but they can occur. Travel in pairs or groups if possible and avoid walking alone at night if intoxicated, just to be safe.

One thing to be aware of is that reflectors are required by law to be worn by pedestrians at night. You can pick them up in most supermarkets cheaply and you just need to attach one to your jacket or bag when out after dark.

Scams here are rare but you can read about common travel scams to avoid here.

If you do experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Discover the beauty and charm of the Baltic States! Our Baltic States tour travels to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Each Baltic States country has its own distinctive cultural tradition and historical heritage.

Once part of the Soviet Union, the Baltic States were among the first to break away in 1990-91. Today these countries are proud members of both the European Union and NATO. Prior to World War II, Finland was occasionally deemed the fourth Baltic state by Nazi Germany.

The tour begins with arrival in Tallinn, Estonia, the oldest capital in Northern Europe. Tallinn’s Old Town is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

On the way to Vilnus, we visit Klaipeda, often called “Gateway to The Sea” because it is the main seaport of Lithuanian State.

In Vilnus, capital of Lithuania, we enjoy gothic architecture, castles and the cathedral that occupies the site of an ancient pagan temple to the God Perkunas.

• In-depth Cultural

The Baltic Experience tour was a lot of fun! Our Tour Leader, Agata, was superb! The small tour size (we had six participants) meant we got to know each other well. The tour had a perfect mix of planned group activities and time to explore the sites on our own. The on-line tour description was accurate and extensive. Three cautions: Travel insurance is MANDATORY, somewhat expensive, and not included in the tour price. Many, like me, will commit to the tour not knowing this additional cost will be tacked on. Second, the tour sometimes involves significant walking (up to 30 minutes) from transportation facilities to hotels while carrying your own bags (two weeks of baggage), as well as walking tours that sometimes involve climbing as many as 800 steps. This is a tour for fairly young and fit participants. Finally, European hotels and home-stay facilities generally don't have air conditioning or screened windows, meaning sometimes in the summer you will have to choose between sleeping in hot, stuffy rooms or opening the windows for mosquitoes to enter. All that said, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience and I would highly recommend it for fit, adventurous people with positive attitudes who can tolerate occasional less-than-luxurious accommodations.

The Best of Baltic Highlights in 8 days, 4* hotels (Guaranteed departure)

Good is all Radisson Blu hotel not bad with good room and breakfast some offer pay or free spa too + casino plays Arrangement and guides overall ok Disappointment is some boring spot give long time and some main and walking required spot give little time which is not considerate enough

Stunning Baltics End Warsaw

Travel means something different to all of us. Danielle and I have done it all. We have flown between 7 or 8 countries in Asia (most hard). We have hired a private driver between many countries (easy). We have taken organized group tours and we have completely traveled with no plan. We have used trains and boats. Europamundo is somewhere in the middle. We found them because they were the only company that could easily get us between the Baltic countries (trains, country buses and private cars were not an option). It turns out, I really like this option. These tours are like a multi-country hop on hop off bus. You can customize your countries 100%. In other words, you tell them where you want to visit and they will bounce you on and off buses to make it work [Removed in Moderation]. The buses are modern enough with recline, arm rests, tray tables and foot rests (no wifi or toilet). They stop every couple of hours and the included hotel are 4* quality. Here all the hotels have had spa facilities (it is the Baltics after all). Each city includes a short city tour (combo of bus and walking) and breakfast is always included, sometimes more meals and admission to attractions. For those looking for the ease of travel with some free time this company is worth considering. You should note - Our tour is English but this is a Spanish company so often we listen to the explanations on the bus in Spanish first, then English. Overall, I highly recommend this company for what you get! Clean, nicer-end accommodations and easy travel between locations.

Many thanks and best wishes

• €100 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

This is the wonderful trip for me to feel young and energic. Our tour guide is Nevyana,smart and understanding girl,sharing lots of interesting experences and always took us to the best local restaurant. Althought we have many trouble,Nevy tried her best to deal with. Too many things to say thank you ,Nevy and G adventure! Can't wait the next tour with you again

The Best of Poland and The Baltics in 13 days (Guaranteed departure)

Disappointed with the hotel locations, particularly Krakov, 20 minute bus ride from the main centre is unacceptable. Riga was the only location that was right in the middle of the old town and wonderful to be able to walk around at ease and not get local transport , a taxi, or at least a 10 minute walk back to the hotel . The hotels were all fine except again for Krakov, 3 star, not 4 and on a major freeway next to a petrol station and opposite Ikea - not a good start. Our guide, Elena was excellent, a very calm lady who dealt well with all the different personalities and was very informative on each county's history.

Great Bike Tour of the Baltics (fully guided from Vilnius to Tallinn 2024)

Although the "biking" was not on my bucket list (was talked into the trip by our brother/sister-in-law), but we had a very great time! Mindaugas was a great guide, and our driver was also great. The hotels were fine, the food was excellent, and the biking was better than I'd expected! Our fellow companions were delightful. The history and tours of the Baltic countries was wonderful. It would have been nice to have had a microphone hook-up during our guided walking tours in order to hear all the information. It would have been nice to be able to buy t-shirts (Mindaugas wore a few) that displayed a map of the tour. I think it would have been nice if we could have ordered them before or after the trip. Is it possible to do so now? Otherwise, I'd never done anything like this before, and may do it again at some point.

Baltics and Scandinavia in 10 Days (Guaranteed Departure)

Alles war sehr gut organisiert. Auch Vorinfos und Erinnerungen waren prima.

Stunning Baltics End Berlin

Outstanding itinerary, guide, food , accommodation great local guides.

Disappointing first hotel. The tour did not make arrangements to have our luggage picked up outside of the room which was expected (I can't remember a tour that has not had this benefit). Most of the local guides were boring and had difficulty with the English language.

• Self-Guided Cycling

Generally good, sometimes unclear description of route; friendly and helpful drivers on/with transportation

Poland and Baltic Discovery - 13 days

Excellent tour all together, had very friendly staff and would highly recommend to anyone.

Guides including local city guides and palace guides were great Logistics especially combination of several groups onto very large buses was not as anticipated or advertised

Excellent tour of the capitals. Everything was well managed and the tour guides were friendly and knowledgable. Perfect balance of tour activities and free time. Would highly recommend this tour!

Tour was fantastic. ILONA did a great job at keeping everyone together. He knowledge of history was outstanding. Hotels were perfect and all in or close to the city center. This was a great value foe the money. Lots of optional tours that you could or did not have to do, which I like.
