Day Two: Tallinn Old Town Discovery
Today, we enjoy a guided walking tour of Tallinn’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We explore Town Hall Square, the medieval heart of the city, and visit Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Tallinn’s iconic Orthodox landmark. As we wander the cobbled streets and historic city walls, we take in the red rooftops and panoramic views over the Baltic Sea.
The afternoon and evening are free for us to explore independently. We may choose to browse boutique shops, relax in cafés, or sample traditional Estonian cuisine at a local restaurant.

Day Three: Tallinn to Saaremaa Island via Muhu Island
After breakfast, we depart Tallinn and journey through Estonia’s scenic countryside, passing picturesque villages and forests. A short ferry crossing brings us to Muhu Island, celebrated for its colourful wooden farmhouses and traditional folk culture. We then continue to Saaremaa, Estonia’s largest and most characterful island, arriving in Kuressaare, the island’s charming capital.
Together, we explore Kuressaare Castle, one of Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval fortresses, before strolling through the castle park and historic town centre, where wooden architecture, spa culture, and inviting streets lined with cafés and boutiques create a truly enchanting atmosphere.

Day Four: Saaremaa, nature & coastal beauty
Today, we discover the unique heritage and dramatic landscapes of Saaremaa. We begin at the Kaali Meteorite Crater, a mysterious natural site steeped in local legend. Our journey continues to Angla Windmill Hill and Heritage Village, where historic windmills and traditional architecture give us a glimpse into island life over the centuries.
In the afternoon, we head to the Sõrve Peninsula to admire sweeping views from the lighthouse, take in the wild Baltic coastline, and enjoy a gentle walk through the windswept landscapes. We return to Kuressaare for a relaxed evening, perhaps sharing stories from the day with our fellow travelers.

Day Five: Saaremaa to Pärnu, Soomaa National Park & Tallinn
After breakfast, we return to the mainland and continue to Pärnu, Estonia’s elegant summer capital. Here, we enjoy a short stroll along the beach promenade and take in the charming seaside atmosphere before continuing to Soomaa National Park, one of Europe’s most remarkable wetland regions.
We explore the park along wooden boardwalks that traverse raised bogs and, if we choose, try bog-shoe walking, an unusual and gentle way to experience the unique landscape. Along the way, we learn about Estonia’s “fifth season,” when seasonal floods transform the area. In the early evening, we return to Tallinn for our overnight stay.

We travel east to Lahemaa National Park, Estonia’s oldest and most diverse national park, known for its forests, lakes, and cultural heritage.

Essential Information
We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

From the 12th October 2025 the EU is introducing a new European Entry System (EES) that will be phased in and fully operational by the 10th April 2026. Non-EU nationals including British passport holders will now be required to complete biometric checks on arrival and exit to Schengen countries, which will include facial recognition and fingerprints. There is no cost for this, and no action needs to be taken prior to departure.
We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.
Please note that in some areas mosquitos may be present and advise that you bring repellent and consider wearing long trousers and sleeves to minimise your exposure.
Whether you'd like us to arrange your flights or prefer to book your own, we're here to make the process easy. Our team can secure flights from the location that suits you best or provide all the arrival and departure details you'll need if booking independently.
Arrival & departure airport transfers are included for the majority of our trips EXCEPT our UK Breaks, regardless if you book your own flights or if we book them for you. To learn more about flight options, payments, and transfers, click here.
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance before any trip — it safeguards you against unexpected issues like illness, cancellations, or lost luggage. It also protects your health and travel investment, giving you peace of mind to fully enjoy your journey. Click here to learn more.
