About Estonia

Estonia is the northernmost Baltic state, a flat country of pine forest, bog and long coastline, with a scattering of islands offshore. Tallinn's medieval old town, the university city of Tartu, and the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa spread interest beyond the capital. Long daylight from June to August opens up the coast and islands, while winter is cold and dark.

Did you know?

Estonia has more than 2,000 islands and is one of the least densely populated countries in Europe.
Tallinn's medieval old town is UNESCO-listed and among the best-preserved Hanseatic cities in Europe.
Estonia is one of the world's most digital societies: online voting and e-residency were pioneered here.
