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.

Solomon Islands To the east of the island of Guinea are the Solomon Islands, a group of more than one thousand islands. About eighty of them hold most of the population of more than a half a million. The island of  Guadalcanal  was the site of some of the fiercest fighting in World War II between Japan and the United States. Honiara, the capital city, is on Guadalcanal. The Solomon Islands were a colony of Great Britain but gained independence in 1978. Colonialism, World War II, and ethnic conflict on the islands created serious centrifugal cultural forces, divisions, and political tensions over the past few decades. In 2003, military and police troops from other islands and Australia intervened to restore order after ethnic tension erupted into civil unrest. Shifting tectonic plates are the source of environmental problems. Active seismic activity has created earthquakes and tsunami conditions that have brought devastation to the region.

Traveling to Ireland

Traveling to Ireland: breweries and pubs, castles and lakes, flowering gardens and luxurious architecture. Anyone who thinks that in Ireland, in addition to cheerful beer houses, there is nothing to see, he is greatly mistaken. Of course, the cult of beer and pubs is pronounced here, but this is not the only property of the Irish. Almost all the main attractions of the country are located in the territory of its capital Dublin or not far from it.  In Dublin, bypassing the topic of pubs still does not work out, since they are here at every turn, and two identical ones cannot be found. Names, stained glass, collections of beer, details of interior decoration are everywhere different. In addition to the interesting interior and beer, the traditional Irish pub is the sound of a violin, guitar and bagpipes.  But the pubs can be left for the evening, visiting the Guinness Brewery or visiting an entire pub quarter, and in the afternoon you can begin exploring other attractio...

Moldova Trips

Moldova is a friendly, sleepy place, steeped in far-flung rural villages and prolific farmlands. Famed for its verdant steppes, forests and lakes, it is home to 178 nature reserves including five of special scientific interest. Hiking, kayaking, sailing, horse-riding, caving and even paragliding are all possible in Moldova. Bound by the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Dniester River in the east, land-locked Moldova is bordered by the much larger nations of Romania and Ukraine. Its landscape is punctuated with endless waterfalls, rivers and hot and cold water springs, and many of them have been channelled into luxury spa resorts and therapeutic retreats and are great places to unwind after a long day walking in the hills. Its lakes are home to egrets, swans, storks and other aquatic birdlife, whilst an extensive network of canyons, grottos and caves include one subterranean passage that extends for 80 kilometres. Unsurprisingly, Moldova is becoming a favourite among advent...
