Spring in Estonia is a special time of year. As the snow melts and nature slowly awakens, birds return, flowers begin to bloom, and fresh green grass covers the fields. If you are planning a trip to Estonia in April or May, this is the perfect moment to explore the outdoors and experience the peaceful rhythm of the season. So what are the best things to do in Estonia in spring? Whether you are visiting for a short city break or a longer holiday, here are eight memorable activities to enjoy – many of them easy day trips from Tallinn. 1. Discover the beauty of Lahemaa National Park Spring is an excellent time to explore Estonia's natural landscapes, and Lahemaa National Park is one of the best places to do so. Located about an hour from Tallinn, it offers forests, traditional fishing villages, historic manor houses, and scenic coastal views. You will also see enormous glacial boulders scattered along the shoreline and peaceful wooden walking trails through the forest. Don’t miss Jägala Waterfall, the largest waterfall in Estonia. In spring, the melting snow increases the water flow, making the waterfall particularly impressive. Join our Lahemaa Day Trip from Tallinn and experience the calm beauty of Estonian nature with a knowledgeable local guide. If you are a hiker and would love to discover nature on a deeper level, book the Hiking Lovers Tour in Lahemaa National Park: Three Waterfalls. 2. Wander through Tallinn Old Town No visit to Estonia would be complete without exploring Tallinn Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Cobblestone streets, medieval towers, and colourful merchant houses create a fairytale atmosphere that feels especially charming in spring. You can visit glass-blowing studios, ceramic workshops, cosy cafés, bookstores, and small art galleries hidden in historic courtyards. Our Tallinn Old Town Walking

Snow-Shoe hiking followed by a picnic by the frozen waterfall Snowshoe hiking is the perfect invitation to step into winter’s untouched beauty - no crowds, no noise, just you, nature, and the crisp echo of snow beneath your feet. With no special skills required, it’s ideal for beginners, families with teenagers, and anyone wanting to explore the outdoors safely and comfortably.
