It’s Easy to Get Around

Estonia is small, which is great for both visitors and locals, and it has a well-developed infrastructure, so you can travel by car, bus, bike, train, plane, or even walk.

Distances between major towns in Estonia rarely exceed three hours of driving time. Estonia has right-hand traffic and a well-developed road network. Unless otherwise specified, the speed limit in the countryside is 90 km/h and 50 km/h in urban areas. During the summer, some highways allow speeds of up to 110 km/h. Seat belts are required for all passengers, and lights must be turned on at all times. Driving under the influence is strictly prohibited in Estonia. Estonia accepts driving licenses from all over the world.

Estonia is a popular cross-country cycling destination during the summer. The Eurovelo route through Estonia begins at the Latvian border, runs along the coast and islands, passes Tallinn, and continues to the Russian border via the northern coast (Saint Petersburg is only 140 km away from the border). There are also signs for a variety of local and regional bike routes. When traveling through Estonia by bike (as opposed to the car), meadows and forests alternate with villages, and it is perfectly normal to stop at the nearest farm and ask for a glass of cold water. There are a number of tourism businesses located throughout Estonia that offer bicycle tours.
