Visit Estonia is delighted to greet You in Estonia - a small country that calls out to culture scouts, natural nomads and flavour seekers! A place where the social influencers are centuries old, where attitudes merge a Nordic mindset with medieval mystery, where the fast food comes as fast as it grows and where fewer crowds lead you to deeper conversations!
Below you will find your programme, some details may still be finetuned along the way. We set out to introduce the diverse sides to Estonia during these 5+ days: the culture, architecture and food that have had influences from various historical eras, the nature and the sea that are a big part of the estonian way of living and naturally, the different faces of the capital. We hope that you will enjoy the discovery of coastal Estonia and the islands.
We offer you a flight from your required starting city if possible - the tickets include luggage.

NB! In a nordic country the weather can always provide surprises. It is always wise to keep waterproof jacket at hand and kindly pack a warmer jumper or sweater for longer outdoor stays, too 😊 Despite all that, we hope you will keep an open mind and have a good time! Welcome!
