What is good to know if travelling to Estonia?

• Most tourism in Estonia is focused on its capital, the port town of Tallinn. For a view of the town, talk a walk on Toompea Hill, in the middle of the old town. In wintertime, especially, when the rooves are covered in snow, this gives one of the most romantic views of the city.
• The town of Parnu on the southern coast is a popular spa and health resort. Many Estonians and Finns take their holidays here. The elegant seaside town has many attractions to entertain tourists, but most popular is the Parnu Mud Baths, situated on the promenade. The neo-classical building houses a selection of mud baths, with treatments for all ailments you could imagine. The baths can be booked up days or weeks in advance, so call ahead and make a booking before you arrive.
• Estonia’s largest island is Saaremaa; its capital Kuressaare. The main attraction here is the spectacular 15th-century stone castle set in an incredibly large moat. Today, it houses the Saaremaa regional museum. Spend a few hours wandering the castle grounds and interior, as well as exploring the museum. The permanent exhibition is about the history and natural history of the island. Temporary expositions are also shown here.
• In the west of the country, Tartu is Estonia’s second largest city and home to its oldest museum. Because of the large student population, this is the best town for nightlife. The Gunpowder Cellar is a popular club, its vault-like environment reflecting its original use.
