Estonia and the Europe switch to winter time on October 25

Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends across Europe on the night of Saturday, October 24 into Sunday, October 25, 2026. In Estonia, clocks will turn back one hour at 4:00 AM local time to 3:00 AM, marking the return to standard time.

Cross-border bus timetables

Because Russia does not observe Daylight Saving Time, Tallinn will be one hour behind St Petersburg and Pskov (UTC+2 vs. UTC+3). Departure times always use local time and will not change, but arrival times for international routes will shift:

• Tallinn to St Petersburg / Pskov: Buses arrive one hour later local time.

• Russia to Tallinn: Buses arrive one hour earlier local time.

Domestic routes & additional info

Domestic bus schedules within Estonia remain unchanged, giving passengers an extra hour of sleep on the night of the clock change. Standard time will remain in effect until March 28, 2027. Passengers traveling around October 25 are advised to account for these shifts when planning their trips.
