ESTONIA

Estonia may be less famous than its neighbouring countries, but its lovely seaside towns, quaint country villages, lush forests (which cover about half the country) and vast marshlands make it a destination worth exploring. Aside from all its natural splendour, Estonia has grand architecture such as magnificent castles. It’s clear Estonia will not be Europe’s best kept secret for long.

Tallinn

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is one of the oldest cities on the Baltic Sea, founded in 1154. Its Old Town has remained remarkably unchanged for the past 600 years, making it one of the most attractive cities in Europe, with its incredible architectural treasure of guild houses, steepled churches and the hallowed halls of Toompea Castle. Today's Tallinn is also a thoroughly modern capital filled with parks, museums, sports centers, hotels and cafés - a city certain to suit almost every traveller's tastes.
