Estonia holidays

UNESCO-protected old towns, dense forests and the great outdoors are all on the cards with Estonia holidays.

Tallinn – a tale of two cities

Very few cities showcase their progress in quite the same way as Estonia’s capital city. From the UNESCO-protected old town, which was granted city status in the 13th century by the King of Denmark, to the Soviet-era tower blocks on the fringes of the city centre, this coastal city’s been through many changes in its long and varied history. And it’s right up to date, too – in 2021 it was named the Best Destination for Remote Work in the world.

Untouched island culture

It’s a little-known fact that Estonia’s made up of more than 2,000 islands, most of which are uninhabited. If you’re after some scenery away from the masses on the mainland, you can take a trip out to explore some of these relatively untouched spots, where traditional foods, dancing and dress are all on the cards.

Reconnect with nature

Estonia’s well known for its outdoorsy culture – so much so that it’s claimed that wherever you are in the country, you’re never more than 30 minutes away from a nature reserve. And with more than 50% of the country covered by forest, it’s no wonder the locals like to spot brown bears, wolves and lynxes.
