Why Estonia

Estonia is a small, Northern-European country that never fails to amaze its visitors. With a population of just 1.3 million, there’s always plenty of room for everyone. In fact, 70 percent of the land is covered by forests and peat bogs. That means the country is as clean and green as can be, giving guests the chance to enjoy some of the purest water and freshest air around.  Estonians, who are nature-minded people, really value their ecology and offer great options for sustainable activities. At the same time, Estonia is known internationally as one of the world’s most digitally advanced societies. Locals are used to doing nearly everything online and paper-free, taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi that’s available just about everywhere.

Land with rich history and deep cultural roots

The capital, Tallinn, is famous for its picture-perfect Old Town, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site for being one of the best-preserved medieval city centers in Europe. But several colorful neighborhoods – some emerging just in the last decade – have earned spots on the city’s not-to-be-missed list and make a visit all the richer. Notably, the newly reclaimed industrial areas of Rotermanni, Telliskivi and the Noblessner port are now trending as cultural hotspots where startups, design galleries, restaurants and pubs occupy spaces that were until recently derelict warehouses and now represent a multilayered modernism.

Deep roots, strange customs, rich but complicated history mixed together with a certain type of open-mindedness and lust for a better, fast progressing world are all the makings of a unique and fascinating character both in a country and a nation.

Estonian history extends across a long and winding road through time, telling the tales of many nations from Vikings to the kings,

queens and medieval merchants of German, Swedish, Danish and Russian descent. By the 18th century, Estonia had been governed by the king of Denmark, Sweden and the Russian tsar, short period of independence was followed by the half century long Soviet occupation.

Estonia’s deeply rooted pagan spirit and European mindset means that the country and its people bear close ties with nature while being a proudly independent EU and NATO member state with a growing reputation for innovation.

Estonia is the only Baltic country with far-stretching and deep-rooted island culture. Although mostly uninhabited, Estonian islands tend to be rural, with some holding traces of local Viking and medieval culture. Estonia’s islands used to be populated by Estonian Swedes, many of whom left the region in the II WW, leaving behind a wealth of culture visible to this day.
