What is the Climate Like in Estonia?

Estonia has a temperate climate with warm summers, but cold, severe winters. It can be very breezy and humid as the country is so near the Baltic Sea.

  • Tallinn – Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, located on the northern coast. The warmest month is July, with temperatures around 16 degrees. The coldest month is January with temperatures dropping to -7 degrees.
  • Tartu – This city lyes in the southeastern area of the country along the Emajogi river. The warmest month is July, temperatures in the 20’s. The coldest month is January when it’s around -7.

How Safe is Estonia?

Estonia does experience large, but peaceful, political demonstrations. Avoid these demonstrations if they occur.

Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing and bag-snatching, does occur. Travellers should avoid carrying unnecessary valuables with them. Avoid large gatherings, as they are good opportunities for pick-pocketing.

Travel only in well-lit areas and avoid travelling alone if possible. Individuals are required to wear reflectors on their clothing during dark, winter months. All travellers should exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings while travelling.

 

Visiting Laheema National Park

Laheema National Park is in northern Estonia. It was the first national park of the Soviet Union, established in 1971. It is also one of Europe’s largest national parks. The park has tons of raised bogs, one, the Laukasoo Reserve, which is over 7,000 years old. On a walk around the park one might see boars, red deer, wolves, bears, foxes, beavers, moose, or lynxes.

There are also four manors on the park, Palmse, Vihula, Kolga and Sagadi. Palmse used to belong to the convent of St. Michael. On the grounds one can also find a distillery, greenhouse, bouth-house, and barn. Vihula has roots from 1501 and during the Soviet occupation served as a collective farm. There is even a coffee on the grounds! Kolaga is known as the “classiest” manor with it’s beautiful architecture. Sagdi manor has a rococo-style with 20 outbuildings and historical furnishings.

What Should I Take to Estonia?

A destination growing in popularity, a trip to Estonia still requires some prep work. Be sure to pack these key items.

  • Walking Shoes – Bring comfortable shoes for hiking or other outdoor activities.
  • Bug Spray – The spring time is often very wet, meaning mosquitoes and flies are abound. Make sure you stay protected.
  • Gloves – Your extremities tend to get colder faster. Bring a pair of thick gloves if you plan on spending a lot of time outside in the cold.
  • Jacket – Winters get incredibly cold in Estonia. A good, thick jacket is a necessity.

Canadian Embassy to Estonia

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. Once in Estonia, the information for the Canadian Embassy is:
