What first comes to mind when talking about Estonia is its rapid economic development since independence in 1991. Modernity sets in, inspired by Scandinavian standards, while retaining the rich heritage and peculiar to many periods of colonization by Russia, Germany, Sweden and Denmark. You will see this contrast in Tallinn, the vibrant capital of a multifaceted country.
Another cultural stronghold, Tartu, a student city and considered the intellectual home of the country. The main attraction of Estonian cities is their calm and relaxed atmosphere which makes them easy and pleasant to visit. Here there is no need to hurry because everything is nearby, historic sites, trendy restaurants, theaters etc. It only remains to make your choice.
But Estonia is not only this modern country driven by new technologies. It is also a rural world and a landscape of countryside and forests as far as the eye can see. The Estonian population is very attached to its natural heritage and you will have the opportunity to discover the beauty of its biodiversity in the Lahemaa National Park for example. Or in the islands, like Saaremaa and Hiumaa, dear to the hearts of Estonians.
Another admirable place, which is the pride of its population, the south of the country with its green hills and countless lakes. Be sure to visit Rõuge or Võru and roam the countryside in search of the perfect 'talu', typical farmhouse.
There, you will be filled with fresh farm produce and enjoy the traditional wood-fired sauna.
And one thing is certain, Estonians will do everything to make your stay pleasant and make you discover the best of their country, so go ahead.
