The highest viewing platforms in Estonia

Looking to see the Estonian countryside from a different perspective?

When you fly into Estonia, you'll notice that there aren't many mountains, though Estonia is home to the highest point in the Baltics at a stunning... 318 meters. The landscape may be more down-to-earth here, but the observation towers scattered around the country give you the chance to take in the view from up high. The best thing about them, though, is how the view varies throughout the day and throughout the year. Look out over glittering, frost-covered forests, see the morning mist obscure the bog below, or settle in for a colorful, springtime sunset.

There are a few towers to check out in Tallinn; however, a day trip outside the city — or a several-day trip to hilly South Estonia — is what you'll need for the best natural views. Either way, these observation towers will not disappoint.
