With dense forests, lakes and islands, Estonia is an unspoilt paradise for nature lovers. Its striking  natural beauty and stunning seaside locations, together with historical and modern contrasts makes it one of Europe’s most fascinating tourist destinations.

The country is sandwiched between east and west Europe, also easily accessible from the south, offering unmatched opportunities for those who enjoy the Nordic experience. Estonia is one of the most thinly populated countries in the world, with a majority of thye people living in cities and urban centers.

The country’s flat landscape is dotted with relics from its medieval glory. Major tourist cities in Estonia include Tallinn, Haapsalu, Narva, Tartu and Pärnu. If you’re into nature and adventure, you’ll venture beyond the urban shield to explore the thick forests, which are home to rare birds, roaming deer, elk, wild boar, bears and wolves.

Tallin is the most popular city in Estonian. Most visitors come here to roam about in its enchanting historic center, perched atop the hill of Toompea. Ambling down the cobbled alleys and glancing through the medieval buildings is a lifetinme experience! To complement the history, a holiday in Tallinn also offers alluring boutique shopping, quite akin to what one finds in Swiss cities.

If you’ve got more than a few days to spend in Estonia, you should certainly check out the pulasating verve of Narva, a city located on the Eastern-most border with Russia. Narva is bustles with travelers making their way across the Friendship Bridge, leading to Ivangorod on the Russian side of the Narva River. Pärnu is the summer capital of Estonia. As soon as the weather turns warm, thousands of visitors flock here to sink their feet into the sand and swim in the lukewarm waters.
