Saaremaa · Things to do

The town has been a spa resort since the 1800s. Arensburg, Grand Rose and Georg Ots all sell day passes.

Flat, near-empty roads through juniper heath and stone-walled fields. Bike hire is easy in Kuressaare.

A near-intact 19th-century stone-and-thatch fishing village, now run as an open-air museum.

Island black bread, home-brewed farm beer, smoked fish and juniper, sold at farm shops and Kuressaare market.

Two rural restaurants doing Nordic seasonal cooking away from town, both worth the drive out.
