Summer (June to August) is prime time for sunshine, festivals, and long days (like really long) thanks to those northern latitudes. But if you’re a winter fan, December brings magical snow-covered cities, plus more twinkling Christmas markets your Insta feed can handle.

Estonia’s weather can be a bit of a wildcard. Winters are chilly and snowy with temps between -7 and 2°C , perfect for cozying up by a fire. And summers are mild & sunny, with temps ranging from 10-17°C. Just remember to pack layers and get an umbrella.

Yep, Estonia is digital superstar, and you’ll have access to speedy internet almost everywhere you go (unless you’re deep in the woods or something...)

Estonia is LGBTQIA+ friendly and welcoming, especially in cities like Tallinn and Tartu. While it’s still catching up in some areas, it’s a safe and accepting place for LGBTQIA+ travelers, with Pride events and supportive communities.
