Best places to enjoy sunrise and sunset
Sunrise and sunset are two of the most spectacular times of day in Estonia. Here are the best spots around the country to sit back and watch the sky.
Springtime is the best season for sunsets in Estonia.
The days grow longer, and the sky turns into all shades of pink and orange. The sunset seems to go on for hours. During the white nights of summer, though, sunrise and sunset are only a few hours apart, giving you ample time to enjoy the view.
Here are some of the best spots around the country to take in this natural light show.
North Estonia
Watching the sunset over the water is magical, but the seaside isn't your only option. Observation towers in wetlands and forests are also good spots.
South Estonia
Blue lakes, green forests, and sleepy villages are some of the region's many charms. Watch the sunset reflect on the surface of a still lake.
Around Tartu
Tartu is the perfect place to use as a base for exploring these next four spots. Enjoy the urban delights of the city and the great outdoors.
West Estonia
For a magical experience, try heading out in the morning to catch the sunrise over a misty marshland forest — it's breathtaking.
Tallinn
Spend the day exploring Tallinn's Old Town, and then climb up to one of the viewing platforms to see the sun go down and the city lights come on.
