18.08.2023 - 23:45 / nationalgeographic.com
Medieval marvels in Tallinn’s Old Town. Lively street art in Tartu. Golden-sand beaches in Pärnu. The 160 islands of Vilsandi National Park.
Spring: Canoe through the forests of Soomaa National Park during the “fifth season,” when the park floods between March and April. Estonia ranks second in Europe for bird diversity. Spot six species of eagle, and eight of the nine European woodpecker species in Matsalu National Park and Nõva Nature Reserve. Bring your binoculars in March for the spring migration that peaks in mid-May.
Summer: Head to the Estonian Open Air Museum in Tallinn to take part in the Midsummer (Jaanipäev ) festivities with bonfires and folk music on the eve of June 23. This is the time to sample seasonal Estonian foods, such as Arctic char and the sweetened curd dessert kohuke. Relax in one of the many spas on Saaremaa island.
Autumn: Spot brown bears in Alutaguse National Park or go for a bog shoe walk in Estonia’s wetlands. Admire the achievements of modern design at the week-long Tallinn Design Festival (Disainiöö) in September.

Learn about the Russian Old Believers’ (Russian Orthodox traditionalists who fled persecutions across the border in the 17th century) traditions, such as samovar tea ceremonies and handicrafts, at the Peipsimaa Heritage Center or take a tour of the 17th-century Alatskivi Castle.
(On this matriarchal European island, ancient customs thrive.)
South: Wander through the streets of Viljandi, the folk music center of southern Estonia, during medieval fairs, music and heritage festivals, and Hanseatic Days.
West: The historic spa towns Pärnu and Haapsalu hug the coast of the Baltic Sea in western Estonia. Take a ferry to one of the dozens of islands in the West Estonian Archipelago, where you can hike or bike through juniper groves or
