Good to know

Before you go

When to go

In Tallinn, the average temperature ranges from −3.6°C in February, the coldest month, to 17.6°C in July (1991-2020 normals); in Tartu, from −4.4°C to 18.0°C. On the western islands, winter is milder: at Vilsandi, the February average is −1.4°C, and August is as warm as July.

Between winter and spring, snowmelt causes flooding every year, the "fifth season", best seen in Soomaa National Park. From mid-July to October, bogs and forests are full of berries and mushrooms.

Getting around

For Saaremaa, the usual route is to take the ferry to the island of Muhu, a crossing of about 27 minutes, on foot, by car or by bike, then continue to Saaremaa over the Väinatamm causeway.

Hozy tip

The freedom to roam lets you move about and pick berries, mushrooms and unprotected plants, including on private land that is neither fenced nor signposted, unless the owner forbids it. You can camp there for 24 hours, out of sight and earshot of homes; beyond that, or to light a fire, you need the owner's permission, and fenced or signposted land always requires it.
