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, it will be finetuned along the way. We set out to introduce the diverse faces of Estonia during these 3+ days and hope that you will like exploring the contrasts.
We offer you a Finnair flight (luggage included) via Helsinki from Barcelona, Madrid, Alicante and Bilbao.
There will also be a spanish speaking guide with you the whole time.
Scroll down for more information, itinerary and articles!
NB! In a nordic country it is always wise to keep waterproof jacket at hand, there might be surprises. This year our spring has been very slow, so kindly pack something warmer for longer outdoor stays, too 😊 Despite all that, we hope you will keep an open mind and have a good time! Welcome!
