Estonia

Estonia is a Nordic jewel where medieval spires pierce forests of pine, and the Baltic Sea whispers along rocky shores. Tallinn's Old Town is a fairy tale preserved in stone, with cobbled streets and red roofs that look painted. This is the digital pioneer of Europe—a nation that runs on e-government and free WiFi. Beyond the cities, national parks offer wilderness, lakes are pristine for swimming, and the people are warm beneath their reserved exteriors.
