2,355 spectacular islands. 1,000 legendary castles. 1 extraordinary capital.
An Estonian adventure is waiting to be grasped.
Experience unspoilt forest or windswept island solitude, while still enjoying the comforts of a thoroughly modern, e-savvy country.
And then there’s the culture…
Dynamic festivals, vibrant handcrafts and rustic food. Ancient traditions are at the foundations of Estonian culture. No wonder it’s known as ‘The Singing Nation’.
Its capital, Tallinn, is a celebration of history. Spend long summer days strolling through the medieval Old Town or wrap up warm and dive into its famous Christmas
markets during winter.
There’s a reason why Estonia is no longer Europe's best-kept secret.
This information can be useful when traveling to this beautiful country
Estonia benefits from a temperate climate due to its location near the Baltic Sea. In the summer temperatures can reach 30°C and visitors can experience “white nights” due to the many hours of daylight. Rain and snow is very likely in the winter.
Tallinn offers good public transport operating from 05:00 to 23:00, but the city is very easy to see by foot.
Estonia is an e-country, so Wi-Fi is available in parks, squares, pubs, cafés, restaurants, airports, trains and bus stations. Sometimes it is even possible to connect to internet in forest or on beaches.
Estonia’s previous currency was “Kroon” until it was replaced by the Euro in 2011.
Tallinn’s Old Town is home to souvenir, antique and speciality stores while the boutiques showcase rising Estonian designers. The contrast between centuries-old artisan traditions and modern elements is what makes the capital so interesting.
Citizens and residents of a country outside the EU can claim a Value Added Tax (VAT) refund when shopping in stores with “tax free shopping” signs. A minimum purchase per shop is required. When approaching the refund point, please make sure that you have the following with you: Your goods, your Global Blue tax-free form and your passport/ID.
