When you’re not exploring medieval architecture, century-old churches and grand palaces, Estonia is a country of unspoken beauty with natural parks, waterfalls and a sinkhole as well as vast forestry making up its diverse landscape.

Explore every nook and cranny of the capital

Tallinn is an exceptional city with so much going on, blink and you’ll miss its many highlights. There are tons of architectural gems including the Town Hall, which dominates its medieval Old Town and St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Estonia’s main Russian Orthodox building. Its large stone walls which were put in place to protect the city still stand today, giving you a greater glimpse into the capital’s history.

You can also step back into the past through its choice of museums including Lennusadam, which explores its maritime background and Estonian History Museum, where weapons and coins are put on display. The city is also known for its tavern style restaurants, craft beer bars, public parks, Christmas markets and countless viewing platforms.

Escape to Lahemaa National Park

Within driving distance from the capital, it’s hard to believe that you can go from an urban backdrop to a natural paradise in under an hour. As one of the most breathtaking natural parks in Estonia, this is a great place to spot the country’s fascinating wildlife.

Trips here show you what Estonia’s scenic side has to offer. Forests sit close to lakes and rivers, allowing outdoorsy types to trek across its enchanting terrain. However, you may prefer to stop for a photo or two on those frosty winter days.
