How Estonia works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Estonia, Maardu leads at 57/100 — cost 30, climate 75, safety 83; warmest-month highs around 16.8°C and coldest-month lows near -5.3°C give you a feel for the seasons. Viljandi is the pure-budget play at cost 30/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Estonia before booking anything long-term.
