REGIONS
With vibrant cities, a wealth of history, great swathes of unspoiled countryside and a coastline of silvery beaches, Estonia is one of Europe’s most enthralling and versatile destinations.
Tallinn
Capital Tallinn is a fascinating combination of quaint medieval town and glitzy go-ahead metropolis, with a choice of restaurants and bars wide enough to bring out the hedonist in anyone.
Northeastern Estonia
By way of contrast, Northeastern Estonia contains the country’s most visited natural attraction, Lahemaa National Park, with its enticing mixture of forests, fishing villages and manorial estates. The market town of Rakvere and the gruff frontier city of Narva are famous for their imposing medieval fortresses.
