Estonia
Located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, just over the sea of its Scandinavian neighbour Finland, Estonia’s rich culture and entertainment, modern facilities, captivating nature and friendly people will excite every visitor. A short ride is all that’s required to experience Estonia’s full natural diversity - rocky beaches and 2222 islands that they reach out to, thousands of lakes and over 800km of forest trails. Estonia is a country where nature lives in harmony with the cutting edge of the 21st Century - the country has the highest number of startups per capita in Europe and it is one of the most digitally advanced countries in the world (a birthplace of Skype and e-Residency!). Nonetheless, Estonia's capital Tallinn is the best preserved medieval city in Northern Europe and locals highly value their sauna rituals and cultural traditions.
