Estonia
A small country on the northern Baltic coast, where a medieval old town, vast forests and bogs, and island scenery sit alongside a leading digital society.
Estonia lies on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, facing Finland across the Gulf of Finland to the north, with Russia to the east and Latvia to the south. Tallinn's Old Town is a well-preserved medieval Hanseatic town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The university city of Tartu has a strong cultural atmosphere, the western islands such as Saaremaa offer windmills, lighthouses and rural landscapes, and the bog boardwalks and forests of the national parks are also distinctive. Summer (June–August) has long daylight hours and is the best time to travel, while winter offers snowy scenery and Christmas markets. Tallinn Airport and the ferries to and from Helsinki are the main gateways.
