- It took a while to get this done, across two years and part of another. Being the country right to the north of my country of residence, Estonia should have been EASY, but it wasn't - short, dabbling trips made things harder than they should be. But I cobbled together my journey over two years, and managed to express how I felt about this small nation that's got a LOT to offer - if not in out and out tourist attractions, but instead in relaxed vibes and amazing weather.

Things to do in Estonia (Summer)
-Beaches. Lakes. Rivers. All three of these are abundant in Estonia, and are apt for swimming and relaxing. The weather in 2023 was pretty wild, but there is also a window of summer that is around 2 months long (usually july-august) that is absolutely GLORIOUS
For reference the airbnb we went to was hosted by Taimi, and here is the link to her Airbnb: www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/499484...
- Earlier in the season, there is the midsummer festival, which is absolutely brimming with tradition, food and beer. Its a party like no other, just be prepared for a test of your eating and drinking endurance.
- Tallinn - though not featured in this video, Tallinn is rich in history, both pre-soviet and soviet history. It's old town is also BEAUTIFUL and a must see. Look out for a walking tour!
- Rummu - its got bad vibes but I kinda like it. You can visit the prison, or go to the beach/lake which used to be a quarry. The silt in the bottom of the lake is kinda creamy - its basically white minerally mud. Feels kinda nice! Swim around the old drowned building, or watch some of the more daring folks jump off some of the old infrastructure. There is also a walk up to the cliff overlooking the whole thing. Its really weird/surreal, but absolutely cool. From memory, entrance fee was 5 euros.
- Sauna/Spa - there are a bunch, all over the place. A quick google search and you're on a fast-track to relaxation.
- Nature attractions: lakes, caves, a boulder field straight out of frozen, springs and quarry lakes. Its an interesting landscape for a place so flat
- MUSHROOMING. Head out into the forest on a warm dewy morning and get some mushrooms, but CHECK YOUR CATCH. not all mushrooms are edible.

All the Estonians are working or at countryside grilling and enjoying the little sun we get , swimming in swamp lakes and enjoying the nature 😊
That is a beautiful life! Similar to how I was living in Latvia! I can't wait to go back 😍
When i made my Norwegian girlfriend Hakkkotlett the first time she loved it ! Make it often now and some other Estonian food! And we go there just for good food and it beeing cute corky place..love it!🇪🇪🇧🇻
That sounds excellent! I made them again the other night. My wife is Latvian, their kotletes are extremely similar, no crumbs though! Estonia is a great place, I also LOVE Norway - I did an episode there too czcams.com/video/5w2-56wNuo0/video.htmlsi=noeKKRA86V821YA0
You had to go to Nõva, then through it, make a right, go through peraküla and straight. How'd u end up on that road to the beach? :D I can't believe it.
It's a mystery to me, so many of the roads looked the same, I couldn't remember where I filmed the footage! But also we went to the beach relative to the Airbnb which was down an unsealed road- the route from there was WILD 😂 absolutely loved estonia, beautiful country
Looks like one of the spots from the tv show fallout on amazon prime
I've not seen it yet, but from the looks of the trailer, it wouldn't surprise me- post apocalyptic places all over the place in Estonia
