Estonia: attractions, cities, recreation

Holidays in Estonia

Holidays in Estonia are walks in the fresh air along the shores of the Baltic Sea, stay in modern spas and, of course, get acquainted with the sights of the cities of the republic. The main city of Estonia, attracting the attention of tourists, is its capital - the city of Tallinn. However, other localities, resorts and small towns, where a special spirit reigns, are of no less interest. There are only four major cities in Estonia: Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu and Narva. Their history goes back several centuries. The most important sights of Estonia are concentrated here - ancient castles, houses and city streets, museums, monuments of architecture and sculptural compositions that have survived from the Middle Ages. You should also pay attention to the suburbs, where you can also find a lot of beautiful places for recreation and cultural experiences. Estonia can be proud not only of its cities with a long history, but also of beautiful nature. Local forests and lakes deserve special attention. Of particular interest are tourist swamps, many of which are located near large cities. Nature holidays in Estonia are best planned in summer, when the weather is conducive to long-term outdoor living. However, it is equally interesting to look at the marsh and in the snowy winter when the landscape changes beyond recognition and becomes unusually mysterious. Estonia is a great place to relax, familiar to many from childhood. In addition to historical attractions, today there are many interactive museums here, festivals and exhibitions are held regularly. Do not miss your chance to get acquainted with this small Baltic republic and take part in exciting events.
