Discover Estonia: Tallinn, Tartu and Saaremaa

Tallinn's medieval old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and considered the best-preserved Hanseatic city in Northern Europe — with Gothic towers, city walls and cobblestone streets.

Estonia's pristine national parks, endless forests and mystical bogs delight nature lovers — Soomaa National Park experiences a unique "fifth season" every year.

Estonia is the world's most digitally advanced country: e-voting, digital citizenship and the birthplace of Skype and Wise make it Europe's tech role model.

Rye bread, smoked fish, game and beets — Estonian cuisine is hearty and seasonal, yet Tallinn's restaurants surprise with modern interpretations.

Flight Zurich–Tallinn via Helsinki or Riga, total travel time 3–4 hours. A ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn runs daily in just 2 hours.

Relatively affordable: accommodation in Tallinn 30–60 €, restaurants 8–15 € per person. Even more affordable outside Tallinn and in the off-season.

June–August for midsummer experiences and white nights. Winter (December–February) for snow, atmosphere and Tallinn's charming Christmas markets.

Estonian is the official language, but English is understood almost everywhere, especially in Tallinn. Russian is also widely spoken.
