Visit Estonia is delighted to greet you in Estonia - a small country that calls out to culture scouts, natural nomads, and flavour seekers! A small nation built by centuries of change and different rulers. It's Baltic meets Nordic. It's Europe meets the East. Its medieval architecture and future technology. It’s abundant diversity and rich history await exploration. A place 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.
We aim to introduce some of the diversity and that in the South Estonia during these 3+ days and hope you will enjoy the contrasts, the Estonian way of wellness and our sustainability efforts. We will certainly get active, get close to the nature and try to immerse into the taste and feel of Estonia as much as we can.
We provide you with the flights from a required city (luggage incl).
