Holidays in Estonia

The area and getting around

A mix of tradition and modernity

Almost a third of Estonia's population is in its capital, Tallinn, located on the coast. With the exception of cities like Tartu, Narva, Kohtla-Järve or Pärnu, the rest of the towns are small rural towns with less than 20,000 inhabitants. Their large cities are quite separated from each other and these small towns are grouped around them. But all of them have managed to preserve that essence that makes this country so special. The perfect balance between tradition and modernity, where its castles, churches and stone walls intermingle with contemporary buildings, modern cafes and art galleries.

Rocky beaches, old-growth forest and lakes.

Located in northeastern Europe, between Latvia, Russia and Finland, Estonia is formed by the continental territory and 2,222 islands and islets that are located within the Baltic Sea, among which the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa stand out, facing the Gulf of Riga. Despite being one of the least populated nations in Europe, with 1.3 million inhabitants, its territory is larger than that of other countries such as Denmark or Switzerland, very similar to that of the Netherlands. Forests cover almost half of the territory, it has a few elevations and wetlands abound throughout the country. A true paradise for lovers of nature activities and for those looking to relax.

But it is also a true paradise for fans of hiking, cycling and beaches. Virgin nature, centuries-old buildings, imposing lighthouses and remains of World War II.

3. Pamper yourself

Free yourself from stress at the spas of Pärnu and Haapsalu Pärnu. When summer arrives in these cities, they live by and for tourism.

5. Learn about the history of Tallinn’s famous tree at the Christmas market

Tallinn Christmas market is home to a very old holiday tradition and its famous Christmas tree. According to legend, this tree was the first one ever placed in a town square in Europe by the Blackheads and it became quite an event that even nobility from Russia used to participate in it afterwards. Nowadays, an annual contest looks for the most beautiful spruce tree in all of the country to become the crown jewel on Tallinn’s Town Hall Square, where the Christmas market unfurls.
