Estonia Travel guide

Estonia has come a long way over the past few decades. Tallinn is a modern and forward-looking city, but outside the capital, reminders of the country’s Soviet past can still be seen in places.

Estonia is also a great destination for a summer trip. The weather is generally milder than in many Southern European countries, making it a good choice for travelers who want to explore without dealing with extreme heat, and it’s cheaper than the Nordic countries.

What to Know Before Visiting

Estonia is one of the easiest countries in Europe to visit. English is widely spoken, and card payments are accepted almost everywhere, although it’s worth carrying a little cash for smaller market stalls and vendors. Getting around is also easy with Bolt, the country’s home-grown ride-hailing app.
