What travelers are saying

"My wife and I did the six day Lofoten Islands tour offered by 50 Degrees North. The tour is simple, they provided us a rental car, accommodations for two nights each at three Rorbuer hotels scattered across the islands, and a couple of scheduled day tours. Most of the time, we were on our own to see the islands at our own pace. The islands are stunningly beautiful, and the tour planning made our travels hassle free. They even scheduled lunch for us at an organic goat farm, which may sound a little strange for a vacation like this, but that is only because you haven't tasted the cheese. (Best lunch ever!) At our request, they altered the tour slightly so that we could begin the tour in Svolvaer and end it six days later at the airport in Leknes. We can't imagine a more complete tour of the islands in six short days."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

Estonia Tour Selection Trips

  • Estonia is a small country and its location makes it easy to visit multiple countries. Many tours go through the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and others may include Russia or Scandinavia. 
  • Estonia is filled with culture, history, and scenery, and you can easily spend a week or more exploring the medieval cities and picturesque beaches. However, Estonia-only tours can be difficult to find.
  • A cruise is a great way to see Estonia and its neighboring countries as most of the large cities are on the coastline. Cruises are often more relaxing and less physically demanding than other types of tours.
  • If you choose to go camping in one of Estonia’s five national parks, make sure to book a campsite well in advance. 
  • Unless you are traveling to Estonia specifically for winter sports, avoid visiting in the winter. Winters are notoriously harsh in the Baltic region, and you may miss out on some attractions due to the weather.
  • Summer is the most popular time to visit due to the mild temperatures and various festivals and events. Visiting in late spring or early fall may help avoid the crowds.

Additional details

Where is Estonia?

Estonia is located on the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe. It borders Latvia and Russia and is a short ferry ride from Finland. Estonia also has many islands; the two largest and most popular are Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. 

Estonian Currency

Estonia uses the Euro, which may make it easier to travel through multiple countries without worrying about exchanging currency. Nearby Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania all use the Euro as well. 

Is Estonia safe?

Crime rates in Estonia are very low. However, transportation accidents are an issue in the country, especially during icy winters. Be very careful if you choose to drive.

Tourists are naturally targeted for pickpocketing and scams; as in any country, exercise basic caution and always be aware of your surroundings.

When hiking in any of the national parks, be wary of wildlife such as bears and moose and never approach a wild animal. Hiking in a group is recommended. 

Travelers should note that as of February 27th, 2020 Estonia has confirmed their first case of coronavirus in the country. Read more on coronavirus

Do’s and Dont’s for Travelling in Estonia

Do's

  • Do: Be respectful and aware of Estonian customs. For example, Estonians are more serious than most Americans about taking off shoes before entering someone’s home. 
  • Do: Learn a few Estonian phrases. Most Estonians know English, especially the younger generations and those living in cities. However, any attempt to speak the native language will be welcomed by most locals, even if they immediately respond to you in English.
  • Do: Ask your hotel or tour guide about areas to avoid. 
  • Do: Use the bus or train for transportation around the country. Estonia has a great public transportation system to take advantage of. If you don’t want to plan for transportation, booking with a tour company will allow you to enjoy your trip without worrying about logistics.
  • Do: Be aware of your surroundings at all times. 

Dont's

  • Don’t: Carry too much cash with you. Tourists are targets for pickpockets and credit cards are widely accepted.
  • Don’t: Only visit Tallinn. Tallinn is Estonia’s most popular tourist destination and a great city to visit, but Estonia has so much to offer. Many guided tours offer itineraries with visits to other beautiful cities and regions.
  • Don’t: Forget to pack layers. Even in the summer, Estonia can get chilly and even the warm days are mild. 
  • Don’t: Hail a taxi on the street. Taxi drivers are known to drastically increase prices for tourists who hail cabs on the street, so it may be a good idea to use a taxi company to call a cab.

When is the best time to visit Estonia?

Summer is a great time to travel to Estonia as the days are long and the weather is usually mild and sunny. If you want to attend one of Estonia’s popular music festivals, June to August is the best time to go.

Late spring and early autumn are also beautiful as temperatures are still warm and there are fewer tourists. Unless you’re planning on skiing or snowshoeing, it may be best to avoid visiting Estonia in the winter. Temperatures can plummet below zero and you may not be able to experience the country’s beautiful beaches and national parks. 

What language do they speak in Estonia?

The national language of Estonia is Estonian. In some places towards the Russian border, such as Narva, many people also speak Russian. However, most Estonians in the cities do speak English as a second language and you should not have a problem communicating, especially in hotels and restaurants. It may be helpful to pick up a few Estonian phrases if visiting smaller villages where English may not be as present.

Some common Estonian phrases

  1. Tere (TEHR-reh) - Hello

  2. Jah/Ei (YAHH/Ay) - Yes/No

  3. Tänan (TA-nahn) - Thank you

  4. Head aega (HEH-ahd AH-eh-gah) - Goodbye

  5. Ma ei saa aru (MAH ay sahh AH-roo) - I don’t understand
