Where medieval meets digital
Tallinn's walled old town is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe: a maze of cobblestones, turrets, and guildhalls. Beyond the capital, Estonia reveals itself through Lahemaa's primeval forests, the wind-battered islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, and a food and tech scene that has grown fast this decade. It's the most Nordic of the three Baltic states, and the smallest.
