The best preserved medieval city in Europe meets rolling green forests, perfect for hikes
Tere, and welcome to Estonia. That’s hello locally, by the way. Estonia possesses a beating heart of history, with many of its towns dating back from Medieval times. This is mixed with crumbling castles of later eras, and a thumping nightlife in urban areas. There is still friction between the Russian and Estonian populations, but it’s mostly passive aggressive and a marker of an older generation who remember communist rule well. Youngsters are welcoming of visitors, and part of a new wave of artists, designers and party animals that make the capital, Tallinn, a European place to be. If you want to be surprised by a country where Eastern Europe meets Scandinavia, and a long history meets a thoroughly modern present, then VISIT ESTONIA!
