Best time to go to Estonia

Estonia’s climate is a case of two extremes. In winter, the temperature regularly remains below freezing throughout the day, while in the summer months it’ll often hover around the low 20s. The temperature’s also changeable throughout the country, with Tallinn on the north coast generally seeing colder weather than towns like Parnu in the west.

Passports & Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Estonia but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Estonia using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/estonia/entry-requirements.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Estonian nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/estonia/health
