Sightseeing in the Baltics
Estonia is a dream destination for eco-conscious travelers, and bike tours allow you to immerse yourself in the country’s serene landscapes and experience authentic local culture without leaving a big footprint.
The following eco-friendly bike tours allow you to enjoy Estonia’s pristine environment and support the local communities that take pride in preserving it — and the country’s compact size means you can see more while spending less time getting from point A to point B.
Multi-day cycling tours in Estonia
One of the must-visit destinations for cyclists is Lahemaa National Park, a natural wonderland known for its ancient forests, mirror-like bog lakes, and extensive coastline. City Bike in Tallinn helps with practical arrangements for this self-guided tour, which takes you from the Estonian capital to the national park. The tour winds past Jägala Waterfall and historic manors. It ends in Rakvere, where you can wander around the impressive castle ruins and spend the night at a spa hotel before taking your bike back to Tallinn on the train.
After your bike tour, recharge at Fotografiska, Lee, or Barbarea, three of Tallinn’s most green-minded restaurants.
City Bike’s Western Estonia and Islands Tour will take you around Estonia’s captivating coastal islands and west coast. This scenic journey goes from Tallinn to Hiiumaa and Saaremaa and ends in Pärnu. For ten days, you bike through quaint villages and along rugged shores — a truly unforgettable cycling experience!
Along the way, fuel your adventure with stops at Green Key restaurants like Blu Holm in Haapsalu, Ku-kuu in Kuressaare, and Raimond in Pärnu. With each bite, you’ll be supporting sustainable food practices.
One-day bike tours in Estonia
For those seeking a bit of adventure, try the Turisalu Cliff Fatbike Tour. A guide leads you along stunning cliffs, takes you through coastal landscapes, and shows you the most awe-inspiring views.
If you’re looking for a peaceful experience, the Pühajärv Scooter Tour takes you around picturesque Lake Pühajärv near Otepää. Afterward, enjoy a meal at Pühajärve Restaurant, which serves locally sourced dishes with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Tartu, Estonia’s second-largest city, is known for its commitment to sustainability. E-bikes are available for rent around the city, allowing you to explore at your own pace. You can also arrange a city tour by bike and explore Tartu’s blend of urban and natural beauty. After taking in the sights, visit Joyce or Hõlm, two inviting Green Key restaurants also recommended by the MICHELIN Guide.
Whether cycling through the lush forests of Lahemaa or discovering Estonia’s enchanting Baltic coast, you can rest easy knowing you’re making a positive impact.
