Pros and Cons

Pros

1. The whole country uses the same time, so it is never confusing.

2. Estonia has the same time as Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania, which makes travel easy.

3. In the summer, the sun stays out very late (“White Nights”), so evenings are bright for a long time.

Cons

1. You have to change the clocks twice a year, which can be annoying.

2. In the winter, the days are very short, and it gets dark very early.
