Travel guide Estonia
Holiday in Estonia
Estonia is truly a European gem. Just 1.3 million people live here in an area slightly larger than Switzerland. Estonia invites its guests to discover culture and historical sights. With over 2,000 islands, 3,800 kilometers of coastline, old trees and varied landscapes, nature lovers will also find ideal conditions.
TOP excursion destinations in Estonia
Estonia’s capital Tallinn is of special beauty. Visitors can look forward to a place where history and modernity meet. The city wall, cathedral and picturesque old town are just as inspiring here as the television tower, Telliskivi Creative City and art museum.
Tallinn’s Old Town is surrounded by a well-preserved city wall. With a length of almost two kilometres, 26 towers and gates, it is one of the best-preserved medieval city fortifications in Europe.
Just outside Tallinn’s centre lies Kadriorg Castle. Tsar Peter I had it built for his wife Catherine I from 1718.
It was modeled on Versailles and impresses with its richly decorated Baroque architecture, ceiling paintings, garden and park.
Bishop’s Castle Haapsalu is a medieval castle complex dating back to the 13th century. The main castle now houses a museum, while the cathedral combines both Romanesque and Gothic stylistic elements.
Jägala Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Estonia. It is up to eight meters high and over 50 meters wide. Especially in spring when the snow melts or when it partially freezes over in winter, it is an impressive sight.
Soomaa National Park is a vast bog area with a visitor centre. The flora and fauna of this unique habitat can be explored on foot, on snowshoes or by canoe.
Laheema National Park is located on Estonia’s north coast. While hiking and observing, nature lovers come across protected forests, vast moors and large mammals. In addition to moose, wild boar and foxes, wolves, lynxes and brown bears also live here.
Entry requirements
As a member of the Schengen area, German citizens only need a passport or identity card valid for the entire duration of their trip when entering Estonia. There is no visa requirement.
