Estonia ↗Estonia is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Estonian sources for your passport.
Estonia ↗The land border with Russia is not a route for casual travel; check your government's advice before going near it.
Estonia ↗Winter tyres are required in the cold months; rental cars include them, but confirm if you drive.
Tallinn and the north coast ↗Book Helsinki ferry tickets ahead in summer; check the last return before you cross.
Tallinn ↗Old Town lanes are cobbled and the hill is steep: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
Tallinn ↗November to March brings ice and short days: plan sights for the middle of the day and wear grippy shoes.
