Estonia holidays

by Terhi Sivonen
Best Served Holidays' – Regional Expert

Estonia lies along the Baltic Sea, just below Finland. Tallinn, Estonia’s capital city is only about 40 miles south of Helsinki, across the Gulf of Finland. Sweden is Estonia's western neighbour across the Baltic. Russia is to the east, with St. Petersburg just across the north-eastern border. To the south is Latvia with its capital city Riga. If you're longing for a getaway that will give you that tingle of discovering something new and untried, something exciting and magical, you need not travel outside mainstream Europe. You need only look towards this trendy, Nordic-feeling nation of 1.4 million people. It offers you an adventure you will never forget. In a world that can at times seem overly packaged, Estonia remains refreshingly genuine and uncontrived. Having cast off communist rule more than ten years ago, Estonia has thrown her doors open to the world and invited visitors to come sample her charms.

The country's beautiful castles, old cities, manor houses, forests, beaches and islands – as well as its people – speak for themselves. It's a nation that is both progressive and hip as well as having a history-filled past. Its spectacular progress since restoring its independence in 1991 is epitomized by its impressive Internet infrastructure, considered one of the most advanced anywhere in the world. Even in the depths of the countryside, you're almost as likely to see a villager surfing the Internet as milking a cow.

The climate in Estonia is relatively mild, making it the perfect destination not only for summer but also for winter breaks.

Local Currency - Estonian Krona, credit cards are accepted at major hotels.

Estonia boasts medieval charm in its cities and countryside manor houses. The fabulous capital, Tallinn has a trendy and traditional side. Chic restaurants and boutiques in the Old Town add the ‘wow’ factor to a city break.

Climb on top of the hill to see the amazing view over Old Town and visit Toompea Castle, where the current parliament sits. The countryside is an interesting mix of romantic manor houses and buildings from the Soviet time. Short distances allow you to explore the country in little time; or even skip to neighbouring Latvia or Finland!
