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.

Conferences
The number of international conferences held in the capital city Tallinn has shown a yearly growth indicating the city´s readiness to host events of different scope. Conveniently located in northern Europe, with its airport 15mins drive from the centre, Tallinn's larger conference venues are located next to the compact old town, and easy to reach. Moreover, Tallinn offers a unique mix of historical and modern venues and innovative approaches to meeting concepts! Talking of innovation, Tallinn is listed among the Top 10 digital cities in the world – you are sure to get the best cutting-edge digital solutions and interesting speakers!
Incentives
Estonia is a novel destination, so whether you want to travel back to medieval times, plan a fun day full of adrenaline exploring a UAZ Soviet Jeep off-road self-drive, private horse races, or take part in enlightening workshops, it offers a large variety of incentive ideas for every taste. The best thing about Estonia is that it’s small and hassle-free. Compact city centres mean that your guests get to spend more time exploring the city and its surroundings. In summer, enjoy the water activities from the port of the capital city Tallinn, but in winter head towards the National parks where huskies and sledges will await to take you through snow enchanted forests. Estonian regions reflect different ages, from the romantic, Tsarist-era parks to unforgettable, early-20th-century wooden houses. What's more, in Estonia you can play football with cars. That's right! Split into teams, throw a ball larger than a car and test your driving skills. Worry not, it is tested, safe and fun activity that will excite every guest!
