Winter tours from Tallinn take you to frozen waterfalls, snowy bogs, husky parks, frozen lakes and traditional saunas. Most of them are a 30- to 60-minute drive from the city and fit into half a day, which matters in a season when there are only about six hours of daylight. Snow and ice change from winter to winter, so we adjust each tour to the conditions on the day.

Lahemaa National Park is a sensation among visitors coming to Tallinn. In a country of only 1.3 million people, untouched nature is just a few steps away from the busy capital. Since the first companies began taking people to Lahemaa National Park and tourists started sharing their experiences on TripAdvisor, there were suddenly lines of people in front of Tallinn Tourist Information Centre, demanding day trips to Lahemaa, which during the peak season is most often sold out. Lahemaa National Park is gorgeous and a perfect opportunity to see nature, beautiful coasts, and lush bogs, and obtain a glimpse of Estonian history by visiting the romantic manors in the area. If you are looking for a day packed with an abundance of sights, then read no further and book a day trip.

So, where to go if you want to explore nature but also avoid tourists who already leave a large footprint on Lahemaa's ecology? Here are some ideas for you... 1.
