Estonia is a year-round destination – we love the long days of summer as much as we do the magical winter nights. Between June and August temperatures are pleasant and days are longer. Perfect for sightseeing, island-hopping, and attending outdoor festivals. On the other hand, winter transforms the country into a snowy wonderland. A great time for Christmas markets, traditional saunas and even spotting the northern lights in remote areas.

Language
The official language is Estonian, but English is widely spoken. Russian is also commonly heard, particularly in the east.

Currency
Estonia uses the Euro (EUR €). Credit cards are accepted nearly everywhere, and contactless payments are the norm—even in small towns.
