Like its Baltic neighbours, Latvia and Lithuania, Estonia has a long history of occupation by invading empires. The positive side to Estonia's occupants is the stunning medieval architecture and grand manor houses that were left behind, now restored to near perfection.
Why Book a Trip to Estonia?
With its coastal region on the Baltic Sea, Estonia offers great food and traditional dishes with fresh fish and sea food, alongside wonderfully coloured salads and pickled condiments drawing on Polish influences. New Nordic cuisine, which originated in Denmark, and the trendy lifestyle approach of foraging in your local area has gained momentum, especially on the island of Muhu.
Destinations in Estonia
Modern Estonia has a very Nordic feel from its neighbours from the north, with glass and steel buildings springing up outside the fairy tale like capital city of Tallinn and Tallinn Old Town. You will enjoy the contrasts of the old and modern and appreciate the warm atmosphere created by your welcoming hosts.
Tallinn is Estonia's capital, the largest city and it centres around Toompea Hill, which is the home to Toompea Castle (the Estonian Parliament Building), the spectacular Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a 13th Century Lutheran Cathedral and many other fascinating medieval structures. The views from the hill across the Gulf of Finland are fabulous. Find a winter wonderland as Christmas approaches with the Tallinn Christmas Market, an excellent way to embrace the festive spirit.
Aside from town Tallinn, Estonia can provide much more. From dense forests, rivers, lakes and waterfalls abound in northern Estonia for those seeking the great outdoors. There are numerous islands off Estonia's coast. Two of the largest are Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. The islands are sparsely populated, but offer some beautiful coastlines, unspoiled nature and the occasional castle. Saaremaa is an ideal place for a spa break and there are lovely coastal towns such as Parnu, which are ideal for seaside holidays.
