Decouvre Estonia

Pourquoi visiter

• Tallinn's old town, a UNESCO-listed medieval gem: intact ramparts, towers and cobbled lanes.
• An ultra-digital society (e-Estonia) where you vote and start a business online, blended with wild nature.
• Pristine forests, bogs and coastlines: Lahemaa National Park just an hour from the capital.
• Timeless Baltic islands (Saaremaa, Hiiumaa) and Tartu, the intellectual and student capital.

Quand partir

June to August for long days, Baltic beaches and festivals; December for the magic of Tallinn's Christmas market, though winter is cold and dark.
