Estonia's distinct seasons significantly shape both your travel experience and your budget. The high season, spanning June, July, and August, offers long daylight hours, a vibrant festival scene, and pleasant weather, making it highly popular. However, demand during these months typically leads to higher prices for accommodation, flights, and popular attractions.
In contrast, the low season from November through March presents a quiet, often snowy landscape, perfect for enjoying winter sports or exploring cozy cafes without the crowds. While some seasonal businesses may close, you'll generally find more attractive pricing for lodging and other services, offering substantial savings for the budget-conscious traveler.
The shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) strike an ideal balance. With pleasant, milder weather and fewer tourists, these months offer a delightful experience at more moderate prices. You can enjoy the natural beauty and cultural sites without the summer rush, often securing better deals on accommodation and activities.
