Estonia

Along with mouth watering rich cuisine, there are many unique experiences that wait for you to be discovered during your visit to Estonia. It is really a gem of a country that offers its visitors a unique experience to enjoy a country that is both ex-Soviet Union and now a part of the European Union. The country is a Baltic state in Northeastern Europe, with land borders with Latvia and Russia and a coastline on the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. It also has sea-borders with Finland and Sweden. There are many remains of the Soviet era to be discovered, like the deserted Soviet army base that can easily be visited. The old memories of the city of Tallinn are still in magnificent condition. Due to its properly maintained medieval city walls and towers, it is regarded as one of the best European old towns. There are also glorious beaches to enjoy where one can look forward to swimming on a lazy day out under the sun.

This small territory is the perfect destination for people who love skiing, skating and ice fishing. Estonians have a special love for nature and they believe in protecting the natural beauty of their nation, so that people from different parts of the world can come and enjoy it generation after generation.
