Estonia, a small nation alongside the Baltic Sea, is located in northern Europe. Because winters here can be quite cold, the best time to visit is from May to September. Summer season is a time when tourists can tour Soomaa National Park, which features canoeing and bog-shoe-walking, and visit Pärnu, where sandy beaches draw tourists from all over the region.
Tallinn Attractions
The capital city of Estonia is Tallinn. Many Estonia vacation rentals are located here because some of the country’s most outstanding attractions are either in the capital or can be seen during daytrips from it. Visitors to Tallinn can see a well-preserved medieval town wall. Built during the Middle Ages by German stonemasons, the wall features towers that are hundreds of years old but still intact. With their red roofs and detailed stonework they resembled something out of a fairy tale. This is one of the joys of visiting Europe — seeing authentic structures that far predate any of the public buildings in the United States and reflect a time that seems like fantasy to us.
With just a little effort, tourists staying in Tallinn can travel outside the city to see Paldiski. This deserted army base reflects the presence of the Soviets who controlled Estonia from the end of World War II until the end of the Cold War. During the Cold War, Estonians were prohibited from seeing the base, but now it is open to the public.
