Welcome to Estonia – Digital, Diverse, and Delightful!

While Estonia may be small in size, it’s packed with beauty, innovation, and history that will leave you amazed. From digital wonders to serene natural landscapes, there’s something for everyone to discover.

Start your journey in Tallinn, the capital city, where the medieval charm of the Old Town meets the modern skyline of a digital nation. Wander through cobblestone streets, explore hidden cafés, and don’t miss the chance to visit landmarks like Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Kumu Art Museum. Tallinn is also known for its vibrant student life and startup culture. If you’re studying in Tallinn, check out ESN EBS, ESN Tallinn, ESN TalTech IC, or ESN TLU for activities, support, and events tailored to your Erasmus experience.

If you head to Tartu, Estonia’s second-largest city, you’ll find yourself in the heart of academia. Known as the "City of Good Thoughts," Tartu is full of youthful energy and creativity. Don’t forget to check out the famous University of Tartu, the Estonian National Museum, and the Toome Hill ruins. ESN Tartu will ensure you experience the very best of this vibrant student town.

Want to explore beyond the cities? For a taste of Estonia’s untouched nature, visit Lahemaa National Park, with its dense forests, bog trails, and coastal villages. Or venture to Saaremaa, Estonia’s largest island, where windmills, spas, and the medieval Kuressaare Castle await you.

And of course, no trip to Estonia is complete without experiencing the Estonian sauna tradition. Whether by a quiet lake or in a cozy city sauna, it’s the perfect way to relax and unwind.

From Tallinn to Tartu, and from modern innovation to serene natural wonders, ESN Estonia volunteers are ready to welcome you in this digital and green country.
